DVD Review: Exactly what I ordered...
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my dad for Christmas and I think he's really going to enjoy it. It was delivered in pristine condition and on time!DVD Review: Great Episodes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own this set and love it! It's very informative and offers interesting history highlights, without bogging it down with too much information. I love the places that the hosts go to in this season! My favorite episode was on Dracula...fascinating!DVD Review: I love this show!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently saw this program on the History Channel. They are currently screening series 3. I liked the show so much I wanted to see the past ones, so I picked up this season 1 box set. It is great value as you get many episodes, each about 40 minutes long. Who would know what lies beneath our cities?? My favorite episode on this season was probably Paris. This is very educational and a great resource to keep in your DVD collection.
Half way through the season they switch presenters from Eric Geller to Don Wildman. I personally prefer Don Wildman. Throughout the whole time watching it, I liked Don Wildman's jacket. I managed to track it down to an Abercromie Sentinel jacket and ordered one for myself online.
I have my pre-order in for season 2 now..
DVD Review: A good idea poorly executed
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this series at the Strand for about $10. Simply put, it's bad. I attribute most of its badness to the host. He is incredibly annoying and seems to know little more about history or culture than the average teenager. And he's your guide. What does that say about the producers of this series?
What little credibility this series had was then flushed down the toilet by the action-movie music that accompanies the host's break-neck race through various caverns and tunnels. With his pace, and that soundtrack, there is little time for reflection and less for analysis.
DVD Review: Interesting, but lacks detail
Summary: 4 Stars
This has proven to be a very interesting TV show, but it lacks a lot of detail about any of the locations. It seems to be rushed.
Description of Cities of the Underworld: The Complete Season One
In every major metropolis, skyscrapers loom above, taxis and vendors clamor at street level, and subways rumble below. But deeper beneath the hectic surface lie other, silent worlds, each with its own mysterious and fascinating history.CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD peels away the layers of time--often literally hundreds of feet thick--to expose the incredible pasts lurking beneath some of the most populous cities on earth. Throughout the world, cities such as Paris, New York, Rome and Shanghai all harbor long-submerged networks that once served crucial functions, from eerie catacombs to clandestine hideouts and ancient aqueducts to underground societies. Now, THE HISTORY CHANNEL examines these mysterious realms, from the technological feats of their construction and the myths and lore that have cloaked these subterranean marvels for centuries.
On DVD for the first time, experience all 13 episodes from the debut season of this top-rated series. Featuring rare location hi-definition footage, THE HISTORY CHANNEL shows a world filled with mysteries and secrets just below the ground we walk on.
