Dark Tourist (2018)
4/10
Intriguing concept but poor execution
24 August 2018
The artistic camera angles and landscape shots are the only saving grace. As other reviewers have said, the host is not that great. I watched the first two episodes and agree that the host is whiny and very self involved. This is more like the diary of a very sheltered, privileged man from New Zealand who happens to be on a "dark" tourism trip and is recording it. He is disrespectful and ignorant of the traditions and cultures of the places he travels to, and it's hard to watch without cringing. Hopefully further in the season he becomes more respectful and less arrogant. Many of the scenes he shoots are obviously staged, and he doesn't get very in depth with the "dark" tourist spots. Instead of leaving you intrigued, it leaves you confused and unsatisfied.
