As somebody who occasionally watched Bob Woodruff as a reporter, I had a degree of nostalgia watching this. More than that, though, it's a great concept for a show - he spent a lot of time reporting on various problems in other countries, and now he's trying to highlight other countries' best qualities. It's a sort of righting of the cosmic scale, at least so far as he can accomplish.
The itineraries are quite interesting and you feel more or less like somebody on the trip with them. Sometimes their reactions are not the most polished, so I see why others felt that they seemed a bit like privileged outsiders, but ultimately I think they succeed in the show's stated goal of showing the humanity of the people they're visiting. They're likable people too.
The videos are sometimes quite stunning as well - now I really want to visit Papua New Guinea!
