Fascinating and Informative! 5 out of 5 stars.

I've always been fascinated by abandoned underground settings, the older, the better. "Cities of the Underworld" is a dream come true, especially the material on Rome and Paris. Not only does the series get access to these sites, but also knowledgeable guides and excellent lighting. This really is "Must See TV!"
A good idea poorly executed 1 out of 5 stars.

I bought this series at the Strand for about $10. Simply put, it's bad. I attribute most of its badness to the host. He is incredibly annoying and seems to know little more about history or culture than the average teenager. And he's your guide. What does that say about the producers of this series?
What little credibility this series had was then flushed down the toilet by the action-movie music that accompanies the host's break-neck race through various caverns and tunnels. With his pace, and that soundtrack, there is little time for reflection and less for analysis.
Editorial Review:
The premise of CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD is a simple one--to examine life beneath the streets of some of the world's biggest cities. But the discoveries made by the CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD team as they delve beneath New York City Paris Rome and many other destinations are remarkable. Secret halls and passageways are revealed plus dens of iniquity and bunkers populated by world leaders. This release includes the first season of episodes from this popular show.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 733961775143 Manufacturer No: AAAE77514
