I find the stories fascinating, especially the stuff uncovered about Chernobyl.
I'd like to travel around the USA and visit some of the places shown on the show.
I only have two gripes. Over the course of Season One, it became almost maddening to hear Kasper Michaels mispronounce Nuclear over and over. Christ, wouldn't someone from the show diplomatically correct him. I see on various pages he is allegedly a dialect coach. Wouldn't someone as such make an effort to be flawlessly correct in their own presentation. If one is acting, fine, but in the case of being oneself as a narrator...get your act together.
Starting on Season Two, no sign of Kasper, but instead a new irritant pops up. This Dr. Lynette Nusbacher. Screeching as I hit the brakes, I pause the program and run to Google. This 'woman' HAS to be a transgender. Turns out I was correct. I'm not being hateful - being a same-gender-attracted man - but Lynette is not fooling ~anyone~. FAIL. My apologies. Beyond that, I will never understand what trans has to do with the gay MALE community. I want to go back to the days when same-gender-attracted men had their own community - and it was about BROTHERHOOD - and weren't forced to be lumped in with 'the fringe'. I'm sure most bisexual men understand what I am saying. But I digress. I felt though, that digression was necessary to expand on my qualifications to give this opinion.
All that said, the program is useful, as it provides a starting point to plan my own personal exploration trips.
