I have fallen in love with this show. I cannot emphasize enough just how sweet and open the star, Phil Rosenthal, is to everyone. He has a child-like enthusiasm for everyone he meets, and he's so respectful of the country he visits. Don't get me wrong, I love Anthony Bourdain's snark and sophistication, but when I need to be uplifted, I watch Phil be charming with a bunch school children singing and dancing a goofy dance. He does this without becoming saccharine or fake, and the show succeeds because Phil meets all kinds of interesting people and eats all kinds of interesting food all over the world. The food and location are still major stars, but it's the people, shown through the lens of Phil, that remind us that there's still plenty of wonder and good in the world.
score 10/10
