Departures (2008– )

Great cinematography, and beautiful locations, but Justin kills it

[7/10 · 6 December 2018]

I love learning about different cultures around the world, and seeing the beautiful scenery each country has to offer. This show captures that. The cinematographer knows what he's doing. Very talented. Scott, one of the show's host, seems to share the same appreciation for cultures and being in the moment of beautiful scenery. Justin, however, was a bad choice to be the show's co-host. He almost makes it hard to watch at times with his juvenile commentary, his borderline alcoholism, and they way he disrespects personal property. He broke a snowmobile because he was riding it too hard like some andrenaline-pumped frat boy, and just left it behind without caring. He makes crude jesters in places of respectable history. It's actually very sad and frustrating to watch. Frustrating because he doesn't appreciate what's around him, and sad because it's so disrespectful to other cultures.
