I have tried to sit through a couple of episodes of this ludicrous series currently being shown in the UK on the Discovery Channel.
The presentation is childish and the commentary sensationalist and banal. Apparently the Bay of Naples thermal waters are really hot, giving rise to lots of 'holy craps' and 'holy moleys' and the sleeping giant may 'blow' at any time. Really ?
And so it goes on ..... a couple of 'scientists' in shirts and chinos waving around their revolutionary equipment doing things that have been done properly by other people before while exchanging childish asides to each other.
It's difficult to know who this is aimed at. If you're over 12 years old - don't bother.
The 3* is generous - and is for some of the camera work.
