Uploader review:
This is a very well filmed and produced show. Some of the best television cinematography I have seen. They also travel to several unlikely places that most travel shows never would. Much more raw and down to earth travel than you're used to from a television series.
Uploaders note:
I uploaded all three series/seasons of this show almost a year ago now but it was extremely large and h.264. I have downripped the entire collection to DivX (my fav. codec on earth) which is a good deal smaller in the end while still retaining the quality. DivX and XviD are a tad more blocky than h.264/x264 but use a good deal less CPU to decode. DivX and XviD even help save hydro because your computer needs half the wattage or less to play the same video.
