Synopsis

Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown had no reservations about a move to CNN. Shortly after concluding an eight-season stint at the helm of his popular Travel Channel series, the equally popular Emmy-winning host came to the news network searching for "Parts Unknown."

In the hourlong weekend series -- similar in premise to Travel's "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (2005)" -- Bourdain explores the world to, he says, "eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice ... they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get."

Enticed by the opportunity to experience cultures rarely visited by American TV, such as in the Congo, Libya and Myanmar, the chef and best-selling author also takes viewers to Colombia, Peru, Morocco and, closer to home, Koreatown in Los Angeles.

The music not only sets the tone for each episode but also adds depth and emotion to Bourdain's culinary and cultural discoveries. From traditional folk tunes to contemporary beats, the soundtrack showcases the diversity of global music and enhances the overall viewing experience.

Additionally, I felt that the music often overshadowed the dialogue and storytelling of the show. There were moments when the background music was so loud and intrusive that it detracted from the emotional impact of Bourdain's interactions with the people and cultures he was exploring. This imbalance between the audio elements made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the stories being told.
