Is it any good?

These incredible stories will entertain, inspire, and move you, all while treating you to a meandering journey to some beautiful locales around the world. The show's variety is another point in its favor; even though so many remarkable stories of accomplishment are found in traditional athletics, the focus isn't limited to this field. Rather equal time is given to standouts in the arts and in less-familiar areas like BASE jumping and hang gliding, further ensuring there's something for everyone here.
