Parts Unknown

Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown (CNN) is (simplistically) a better No Reservations – if the rest of the episodes are like Ep.1: Myanmar, this could be a really great series. 

Thoughts after watching Myanmar episode:

beautiful cinematography (both raw and pristine).

deeper narrative more in line with Bourdain's insightful and reflective travelogue books – far less punches pulled.

more documentary and by all signs, honest coverage – thoughtful and engaging scenes, precise editing and pacing.

great, diverse interviews and local expertise.

clearly a solid set of producers as the shows backbone.

solid multimedia features on series page with maps, info, inside looks – more would be welcome.

An achingly beautiful story of inevitable love... applicable to all things that seem impossible but are meant to be.

Keep Going and Keep Learning!

All the respect to David Liu for putting this kinetic typography piece together. Ira Glass certainly set a standard in radio broadcasting, but this diatribe applies to all of us, regardless of our creative mediums.

We wish you many happy creations and productive frustrations.
