Cast: Joanna Lumley

I am trying to figure out what makes this series so great. One I think it's not your typical travel show. "Look at my hotel. Watch me eat this thing you've seen someone eat a million times. Look at me take a picture in front of that typical thing." No. She takes us to an Uzbek wedding, talks to a female DJ in Kyrgyzstan exploring social topics. She is bold (in a polite way) and not shy or awkward. She is absolutely the right person for the job. She often is speaking or reading in the local language so she is on top of being beautiful she is also smart. I may be a little biased because I always have found Central Asia quite mysterious. Besides one other series (an Italian one about the Silk Road) I haven't seen many travel series that spend extensive amount of time in the region.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
