I came across this series by accident. Having lived in Italy for several years I was curious to see what I may have missed. I agree with two other reviewers in that Alex's presentation is cringe worthy.
I was truly disappointed after watching episode 1 of the Sicily tour. I waited for the full hour to see Siracusa. I am sure that the modern church is no secret to anyone. That was all she presented of the city and for future reference Siracusa is on the east coast of Sicily in the south of the island near the toe of Italy. (Not the North).
While at Palazzo Gangi the camera was focused more on Alex than on the beautiful interiors of the building which happened much too often. Alex shows up in the frame more that is reasonably necessary. The hat shop portion was ridiculous as too much time was spent watching Alex try on hats. How about the ancient artisanal crafts?
I thought the first episode that I watched and disliked was a fluke but unfortunately I will have a hard time watching the entire series.
