Best of the World with Antoni Porowski
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In this four-part travel docuseries, Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski collaborates with National Geographic to find the BEST OF THE WORLD WITH ANTONI POROWSKI across four of the globe's most iconic cities: Paris, London, Mexico City, and New York. Moving past standard guidebooks, Porowski dives deep into local neighborhoods, checking out legendary hotels, family-owned restaurants, and unique cultural traditions to discover what truly gives a city its soul.
Is It Any Good?
This show is a visual triumph that will stoke viewers' wanderlust. What makes Best of the World with Antoni Porowski work so beautifully is that Porowski intentionally showcases more than just the unattainable; for every ultra-high-end cocktail, he highlights a local bakery serving $4 pastries. The cinematography is also gorgeous, but the show's real strength is its heart. Antoni is a natural—he's a warm, sneaky-funny host whose genuine curiosity for human stories anchors every segment. By shifting the lens away from just consumer goods to focus on the families and innovators keeping the cultures behind each city alive, the series feels incredibly grounding, inspiring, and restorative.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how Porowski is always excited to try new foods and listen to stories from people who live very differently than he does. When you meet someone from a different background, country, or culture, how does being curious and a good listener help make them feel welcome? Talk about what you also get out of the interaction.
Porowski often shows gratitude after visiting new places or talking to new people. How does this character trait help him to achieve his goals? Can you think of times you've shown gratitude in real life?
