Very pretty photography and enjoyable themes mark this as one of my favorite shows in a long time. McCrank (host) interviews very interesting individuals who range the gamut from lovably crazy, to the most normal, down-to-earth-folk you've ever met. I've never wanted to visit the rust belt as badly as this show made me want to. Goes beyond the theme of "abandoned porn" and delves into the reasons why it's subject ended up abandoned. Worth it.
