Have you ever watched an episode of Expedition Unknown? It is a binge worthy show. We started watching because we couldn’t find anything we hadn’t seen, or anyway it felt like we’d seen everything. Anyway, our son suggested we watch Travel Channel’s Expedition Unknown just to see if we liked it. Liked it is an understatement, we loved it! Josh Gates is absolutely fantastic as a guide and a master at explaining things in lay people terms. For the last 4 days we have been binge watching it and still have more shows to go. We are watching this Travel Channel production on Discovery+.

Some of our favorite episodes have been filmed at places where we have visited during our travels. The episode about the search for real-life buccaneer Jean Laffite’s missing treasure in the early 1800’s is partially set in New Orleans, Louisiana. This episode (Season 4, Episode 13) ended in Galveston, Texas, another place we have seen. It is lots of fun seeing the same buildings, beaches and lands that we have visited. We shared some of our experiences in New Orleans here.
Gates has a great sense of humor, and it is amazing the connections he has in the world of archeology, treasure hunting and fascinating history. He journeys take you to all corners of the world, and places that you never knew existed. We also really enjoy his behind the scenes episodes, giving you a look at how large and complex his production crew really is.

I agree, he’s been doing these shows for maybe five years or more now? I’m sure that he’s paid handsomely too…

My television is rarely turned on, but when it is it is shows like that or documentaries I look for. Or if I’m in a mood to listen to odd, I look for ancient aliens.

Sounds like we have similar tastes. Bring on the aliens, right?

I’ve heard of the show but haven’t seen it. What channel/svc is it on?
I am OBSESSED with watching the background in tv & movies because it is so often Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Los Angeles, or Long Beach but supposed to be somewhere else.

I was looking it literally 1 min ago! I won’t add more channels, or pay for tv shows, so I’m SOL unless it becomes free someday.

Hope you get that free hookup. You might try one of those 30 day free trails for Discovery+ if available. You could binge a bunch of episodes in 30 days.
