Is It Any Good?

Parents say: Not yet rated
Kids say: Not yet rated

This unscripted show plays like a video diary of the team’s journey as they make their way through places that most tourists wouldn’t dream of visiting. Riku and Tunna are entertaining to watch as they gamely try activites from working as a body sushi plate to trying to swallow "distinctive" local meals without rudely spitting them out. Some episodes can get pretty tense, too -- the pair has often risked gunfire and other perils to learn more about the lives of the people they're meeting.

The duo doesn't hold back from drinking (often heavily) or shy away some of the more wild and/or risqué aspects of local entertainment. But they're also very clear about the importance of respecting the people they meet and their native practices, no matter how strange or absurd any of it may seem to foreigners. Overall, the show offers an interesting point of view about the world we live in and gives less brave and/or more squeamish viewers the chance to travel the world vicariously.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
