Hope you enjoyed our first episode of Travel Season! We'll be back next week with our second episode where we explore spicy food in Korean cuisine, eating increasingly hotter foods for 24 hours!
Proud of you guys for making content you love. Please ignore bitter people, there are many who love y'all's content and personalities. Can't wait for WWW!
@@T.FlorenzAh yes ignore everyone that felt betrayed, they are just "bitter". *Classic.* (This is what @T.Florenz does in every comment section, saying anything and everything to defend watcher like they are paid to do so)
I really like the new format, however I do have one critique about it. I really do miss interviews with chefs/owners that are responsible for preparation of food. A short small interview to describe the place, the food, etc would be a nice thing to have.
Some of the things I loved the most about “Worth It” are not present in travel season… Listening to the chefs/owners, having Andrew and Steven comment on the food and what they like about it… I also find the voice overs on the b-rolls a bit too much. Would love to listen to Andrew and Steven talk to each other more, let their dynamic shine through. So far, Travel Season has a lot of potential but doesn’t seem to use it to its best… Let’s see how the next episodes go!
The food was the star/ theme of the episode, but the hosts never described any of the meals in any detail at all. Am I confused about the point of the show? Andrew had a corn latte, something that I (an American) had never heard of before and was very intrigued by, and he DIDN'T GIVE A SINGLE COMMENT ON IT! Was it good? Was it bad? Who knows! Certainly not the audience because he drank it and didn't say anything about the taste, flavors, or the combo of coffee and corn. I... what??
@@addy5572i don’t think that’s the point he was making. This show can’t do things that buzFeed did for obvious reasons. But buzzfeed doesn’t have a patent on describing the food they’re eating, like they used to do on their worth it show. It seems like they’re unable to recreate the scripting, audio and production that buzzfeed used to provide. I’m thinking that they’re taking more of a center role and it’s kind of wearing them thin, because even their energy isn’t what it was from worth it
In a past interview, they mentioned that when they don’t really touch on an item they ate or drank, they didn’t like it. They don’t want to openly come out and say they don’t like it, because that’s rude. Especially, since liking food and drink can be very personal and unique to everyone. Just my thoughts!
@@hollyalldridge9144 thank you for your comment and perspective! However, in my opinion, not commenting on several dishes in a food/travel show is simply not practical. Like, that's sweet of them, but how the food tastes is a big part of a food show, good or bad. And even if they don't like it, they can still describe the dish in a neutral way, i.e. 'the corn was flavor was sweet, and very strong'. The show seems to be more about Steven and Andrew themselves, and less about food/travel, which isn't what I'm looking for in a show of this genre. But I also have not seen ep 2 yet.
Love the focus on smaller and unique places in Korea, clearly not trying to eat the most expensive things in Korea, but a wide variety of different things regardless of price. Can't wait for the rest of this season!
I love the cinematography. But I feel like the show as a whole is missing things. I wished there was more input from the locals, either through more interviews with the chef or staff, or maybe have a local share the meal with you. Also the commentary when you try the food doesn’t give much context to the flavors that are going on with the dish. I noticed Worth It and other food shows have the same issue. Not everyone is going to understand American metaphors and references. I have mixed feelings about the narration route. It feels like the personality is sucked out of the show if that makes sense… because you’re reading from a well-written script. I don’t feel immersed but that could just be my personal preference. A vlog style travel show makes it feel like I’m there traveling with friends. A great reference for a travel show is Conan O’brian’s. He interacts with locals so well and showcases the country’s culture in a very authentic way. It’s less cinematic but it feels real, not like I’m watching through a filtered lens. Emma chamberlain’s recent vlogs have a great mix of cinematography and personality. Even though she’s obviously super rich and is at the most elite events, she gives off “normal person” if that makes sense. Traveling is already too expensive as is. I don’t think it’s a great idea to make traveling seem more luxurious and unattainable with fancy cinematography and disconnected narration. I think if this show were to be successful, it needs a better balance of personality and cinematography.
I loved the Worth it series and I had really high hopes on this show. I know you guys are probably still figuring things out, but I felt like this could've been more focused on the food and the chefs. It also feels weirdly scripted with the voiceover parts which I felt were maybe unnecessary? To be honest, it sounded like you guys were bored on the voiceovers. The stuff you guys say on the spot and in the moment are still more engaging to me. Still though, its nice to see a progression on this format and hopefully things get hammered out in the future.
Im not the only one missong the worth it format, am i? Like the interviews, the enthusiasm, the dorkiness This has become more if a documentary than a fun show I like the episode but i miss my three musketeers.....im sorry but i really do. No hate to this video....maybe a critique as I've been watching worth it since it's beginning. I miss the dorks, the fun, the randomness, the behind the scenes, interviews with the ppl in the restaurant making the restaurant and its dishes.... I might be complaining too much, but i hope theres someone who understands what im saying here If not, please feel free to tell me otherwise I love that they're back....and I'd take it in any way they are arranging for it🥺😭💙✨
Worth it season 3 and 4 has the sauce and personality, it is so bingeable but here, everything feels...fake? No authenticity, no personality, no interviews, it just feels like any other food show
@@lordyeetus3779 Ikr? Like I love them, it might be something they've come about doing as they've aged but somehow it looks like the other shows I've seen. Worth it was amazing, they used to have interviews and the details one would get it directly from the chefs or owners. Here they describe it, which is not bad but the emotions you have when you're describing your own place vs. someone else describing it for you. Plus while even worth it was scripted, they did some impromptu things and improvised. Here it looks like they're not doing anything to change it. Even if they might be doing something, it's not as 'fun' as they used to do it.
Bro i never expected you people will revive this show, extremely hyped for the upcoming episodes. Honestly a huge fan, have a good one and keep up the good work!
@watcher it was beautiful the whole episode, a mix of nostalgia with a modern blend, I loved the fact that the wholesome food family has reunited alongside new crew members. Huge respect and love for the effort you people are putting in the production of this show. I leave today with Hunger for more episodes of both travel season and Ghost files.
Hey team, I am so happy for y'all finding your balance amidst everything....Demm the production is sick, the intro is sick....the direction is awesome.... though I stand here as an average broke yt Watcher but I gotta say... the effort is not unseen... it is kinda inspiring seeing you guys figuring it out.. All the best and all the love nd support.. Hella excited for everything tbh!!!🤩🤩🤩 All hail the watcher😜
My dad was a long time Worth It fan, loved to watch the episodes with my mom. Sometimes it inspired him to make/try food - the poke episode singlehandedly changed our brain chemistry and we started looking for poke restaurants (Big fans! We even make our own DIY poke bowls at home.) He was excited to hear that a similar format with the crew is back. Can't wait to see more from y'all!
Most likely not. I think it might be fiIter though, as one of my comments disappeared despite being neutral (which an actual individual would've known it was.) I'm not mad about it though. As long as they don't try to avoid critisism in general I personally think it's fine, and since the comments they've read are still up, that doesn't seem to be what they're doing.
@@Illadviced Yeah, at the time I wrote the comment, I only found one critical comment, the rest were all raving reviews that Watcher hearted… just looked back on the comments now and see that they’re allowing dissent!
Their old show is one of my comfort shows. This will easily replace it! Love the brick! The old-style film is so nostalgic. Love the side quests and having Adam, Andrew, and Steven back together. Also, Travel Wishes are fantastic. It's so pure and relatable.
So happy to see y'all back together!... Hopefully we get to see Inga's cameo here and there as well. Love seeing the dynamic of Steven + Adam + Andrew + Inga.
Just want to say that i really missed this food content show and the chemistry of the food trio (steven, adam, and andrew). This channel has been my comfort go to ever since, so thank you for continuing to upload here. Hope you guys find more success in the future.
Despite all the hurdles and the initial reception (or lack thereof), I'm so glad y'all went with continuing this series anyway. Thank you so much! I love this series. Tbh I don't understand why people are complaining about y'all going on a trip you want and eating...that's literally what other UA-camrs do???? Anyway, so hyped for this show. As always, I love the places y'all chose and the comments. Keep the episodes long like this please!!!!
the complaint comes because they said they were broke and asked their audience to pay them money while simultaneously planning really expensive trips for their videos. people weren't just mad that they were eating and taking trips alone because they're not stupid. hope that helps.
@@kaskaskas they asked for support to *continue* making quality shows. Like many other channels (like 2nd Try and Dropout) they know they cannot continue to grow and sustain a business on the platform without additional funding. I want to see them continue and succeed, so I'm willing to pay for the content I'm consuming. Creators have a right to charge for their work.
@@kaskaskas Well, it's a business, not a charity. They have to travel to make the shows and pay their crew. I'm baffled as to why people think free content is somehow a right nowadays.
@@medukameguca8529 problem is this shit ain't quality. Watcher has never and will never crank out enough content to warrant a $5/mo subscription from me
@@addy5572 It's not about people getting upset per se, but rather about just *how* upset some are, and the fact that they've been repeating the same things for like 2½ months, despite that situation having been over for pretty much as long. They're obviously not just (ex)fans who got disappointed for a moment because they thought they'd lose content that they like, hahaha.
I love how from the first episode Travel Season is saying "All respect to Worth It, but we have all grown in our craft, so watch this". The "$2 vs $50" in the title makes one think "oh, they are going to carry on the concepts from worth it" and in the very end, just when they are going to say which chicken was most "worth it", they officially kill the whole worth it concept by saying "its hard to separate the enjoyment of one without the context of another. And of course an experience is so much more than any single bite of food. And in a lot of cases it's even more than the whole meal." Worth It was the chrysalis. Travel Season is the butterfly.
@curtis8080 or, oooor, hear me out..some people have just been following the show since it started and are happy to see it back with some new style. Not everything is a conspiracy. Some people are out there just trying to make some entertaining content and other people are excited for it.
Absolutely LOVED this for a debut episode of this season. I was anticipating a good quality food show, because the team obviously know what they're doing with that regard. I was NOT expecting this to be an earnestly high quality travel show in the way that it was. Loved the little extra trips, the flea markets, and the fun facts. Actually on par w/ Travel Man imo, which has long been my favourite travel show. Brilliantly produced and well hosted. Great job all!
Loved watching the series so far on Watcher tv. Excited for the UA-cam audience to see. I love the spotlight it gives to local business and culture, this series has a lot of heart.
Man, i really loved the new concept of the show, trying to stay loyal to the whole "worth it" show idea with new ideas. But I miss the Steven, Andrew and Adam talking to the camera time/moments you know?? It's like they were talking to the audience. But fantastic first episode guys!! Great Work!!
I've been watching worth it for the longest time! When I was still in school me and my mom would watch ALL of the videos made of it 😆 I've always loved Steven, Andrews, and Adam's dynamic so much, and am so excited to see the beginning Travel Season and where it goes! It looks great so far :D loving all the watcher personalities
That’s literally why it’s an issue, they wanted to do expensive stuff they couldn’t afford Literally poor management of resources that they tried to blame on anything but themselves
hi watcher, just want to send all of you and the team so much love 💗 really a comfort channel for me and surely a lot of others and genuinely everything you guys have put out there have been amazing quality and so fun and entertaining and travel season is no different. just want to let you guys know you’re so appreciated. 💗 another thing: holy shit the production of this is amazing intro immediately had me pulled in 😭😭 also really touching to see the worth it team back together!! amazing work guys!!!
I really want to like the show, but like the others, I think I’m having a hard time understanding the new direction. What I love about Steven’s food shows, is that it’s one part educational, one part food photography, one part lighthearted banter. Like the Steven eats through Korea for 24 hours one off video. Absolutely loved it. I totally understand wanting to do something more serious, and I’ll probably keep watching the series to see where it goes. But it’s not a video I would watch over and over again like Worth It.
Super excited to see this style series return! Really enjoy watching you two, and Adam too! If I had to make a couple suggestions or critiques, I'd say... Whenever possible, bring back the interviews with chefs and/or owners of the establishments. That was always a great peak into how each unique well-oiled machine runs. Second, I think you guys could do away with most of the voice over (it sounded as though I was being read to, and didn't come across as natural). Instead, maybe in an open discussion style before you eat or while waiting for the food or something along those lines, you could talk about the foods the establishment is most known for along with what foods you'll specifically be trying.
Unsolved and Worth It are the two series that got me through college days. I'm glad to just see all of you got together again. Goodluck on the upcoming journey guys!!
Amdrew, you are the god damn MVP! If you don't inherently hate it - please do more hosting stuff in videos. Your knowledge about cooking and enthusiasm for food really shines through the screen.
I miss "Watch It" more than I imagined. The banter between Andrew, Stephen and Adam was usually so fun to watch. I miss the conversations with the people who actually make the food but while the content is different, it's fun. Thanks!!
I love the show and you all back together! Looking forward to more. For the record, I'm broke and will probably never make it to Seoul. Instead of being mad at Watcher and Steven for creating entertainment content that costs money (just like any other entertainment content), I use it to escape and be entertained and I do so with gratitude. Thanks guys!
I’m probably one of the minority here that started as a Worth it fan and supported Watcher coz of Steven so it saddens me to see all that’s happening but I hope you guys learned from it and continue to listen to the fans’ concerns. This channel still has so much potential. I’m rooting for you guys. ❤
I'm glad that I watched just enough Worth It (and Dish Granted, and Homemade) before this to learn the number one lesson for watching Travel Season: do NOT start the episode when it's too late to run to the store or order takeout. 🍽 So many mouthwatering food inspirations here.
Worth It was how I discovered Steven, Andrew, and Adam back in college. I loved their chemistry. I was glad they branched out of Buzzfeed and made Watcher and About to Eat, and was sad when A.T.E. stopped. It's so great to see the boys back together again, all the best for your continued success!
thank you for bringing back worth it!!! it was my favorite series for years and it feels good to know that you guys are reviving it again 😭😭😭 i love seeing these guys together! hoping to see more travel season!
I kinda vibe with this new format. Feels like a hangover, but not those headachy ones, rather those lazy blissful ones where you just want to grab food and do nothing all day.
Beautiful job, all! Anthony Bourdain would be proud. I love The Brick; it's like a new cast member :) And the photos are a great touch. It's not like whipping out your phone, clicking a thousand times, and endlessly scrolling to find the perfect, post-able pic. It speaks to your message about reminding yourself to be present in your experiences when you travel. Excited to see Andrew's souvenir choice in each episode!
i think people forget, they arent working with buzzfeed money here. budgets are not the same. the amount of crew is not the same. they dont have the same number of cameras and gear as they used to have. they have only so much time and money to spend on these episodes. either way, what they have here is fine. im not picky about "voice overs" or other complaints that people have by comparing this to buzzfeeds version. it is what it is. we are lucky to even have these 2 back together. you can either have this or nothing at all. i rather have them together in any format.
Ever since I heard about Watcher, I’d hoped they’d make a version of Worth It. I know a lot of people are fans of the “scary” content - I am too! - but I loved Worth It back in the day and I hope to see more food related stuff in the future.
It makes me so proud to see how far the Watcher guys have come! I've been watching their content since the BF days and have been an avid fan since they first started Watcher! I absolutely cannot wait to see all the amazing things you all continue to do! 😍
This is my very first time watching any of Steven's food content and I loved this so so much. Worth It never felt like my cup of tea but this was so cozy and chill and inviting, I will be watching the rest of the episodes! Keep up the great work, all, thank you!
This was fantastic. It was wonderful to see the group back together again, eating delicious foods and exploring interesting places. Looking forward to the rest!
This episode was so great! It really felt like we got to experience a lot of the culture in Seoul, and I actually enjoyed this more than Worth It. Looking forward to the subsequent episodes. Now I have to eat dinner because this made me so hungry.
I really really enjoyed this first episode. I watched the worth it series back in the day; but this blends an Anthony bourdain/worth it series together it’s a really great series guys thank you.
Hey guys, I know you had a mistep as a channel/studio, but This was really good, I do hope we get more of the chef/store owner/ shop owner's voice on the matter of the meals. I really missed andrew (and adam) and the banter between the two hosts in Worth It. I hope you guys just keep going despite the misstep and I wish you guys all the luck.
All these positive comments are not suspicious and don't read like bots at all. 🙃 im sure there are truly this many people curious about what camera they're using.
BBOORRRIINNGG! 🥱😴. Where’s the chef commentary? Backstory on the restaurants? Quippy jokes and light competition between hosts? I got half way through and checked out.
Weird Wonderful World is my favorite series on Watcher! I love the ghost hunting, the spooky stories, and the scary video games, but Weird Wonderful World is the quintessential Ryan and Shane content that I love! It's just them doing weird stuff in weird places!
Despite liking the Worth It formar, I LOVE the voice over. It gives me a cozy feeling that I’m watching a documentary but with my friends hosting it. Am looking forward to seeing more of this. ❤❤❤
It seems like this series places a big emphasis on travel and enjoying the cultural significance of the food rather than on the restaurant or a specific dish. I really enjoyed watching some familiar faces in new ways! Can't wait for the next episode.
The comments seem awfully sunny compared to that like-to-dislike ratio. (Note: I am resubmitting this comment because I got a super weird response to this by a fellow fan acting defensive (I guess?) on Watcher's behalf? Not sure what that's about, this was literally the extent of my comment, but if that same person sees this comment again: Hi! Also, are you good?)
Absolutely adore seeing the friendly facies. Love that you started with Korea. A bit of nostalgia with a nice fresh feel. Can't wait for the rest of the season
This was just beautifully directed, shot and narratored. It feels like wathcing a genuine documentary, which is what I assume they wanted to do considering they wanted to improve their production. Great watch.
Hi Watcher, I've been a fan of Worth It since it was still Keith and Steven going on these adventures. Like most people here in the comments, I will be trying to provide constructive criticism based on this episode all in the hopes that you can shape the series back into the same (but better) Worth It that we've been watching all these years. 1. I agree with most comments here; less voice over, more actual conversation. Andrew, Steven, and Adam have interesting and fun dynamics between each other and it's sad to see so much less of that in this episode. 2. Please bring back the interview with the chefs and staff. All the wisdom, tips, tricks, and sometimes silly banter from chefs and kitchen staff is what makes Worth It worth it. It gave the OG series so much character, and I hope we can incorporate that still in this all-new production of Worth It. 3. I miss the ingenuity of 'fact time' in the OG series. I always loved and looked forward to listening to some completely random fact about food, all because there was appropriate and predictable build-up to it. It creates an element of consistency in each episode in a way that is still fun and original. 4. There is much less commentary about food which is sad because that is the heart of the show. Without that, the show becomes just like any other documentary; boring and repetitive. I would hate to see Worth It go down that same path. Overall, I am still ever so grateful for Watcher for bringing Worth It back. All my love to Adam, Steven and Andrew. I appreciate what you all guys do.
I don’t know if you guys will see this comment: But I really enjoyed this video. I think I understand that not every video with you guys will be a replica of Worth It. I really think the sobering and more raw elements of the video caught some people off guard, but to me it’s a natural evolution of your cinematography, and I think your concepts with food and travel can reach new heights, so long as you stay focused on one thing: make what you love. So long as I know you guys are enjoying what you make, I’ll watch any video about food with you all ^^ I loved watching a lot of one on one almost biopics of food and cooking from About to Eat (especially with Andrew) and from reading the comments not everyone will be a fan of each new endeavor, But if it’s one thing I do know it’s that I thoroughly enjoy watching your all’s’ intersections on watcher (Shane and Ryan too ! ^^) and it’s that interaction that I think brings in Watcher viewers, because viewers are drawn to that. I hope to see more of Andrew and Steven (and Adam!) and the watcher crew make new and interesting things. I want to hear more of the foods you guys try, places you travel, and to see you interview locals and chefs (when you can include it) but do it in a way that feels good to you guys! I recently rewatched the late Anthony Bourdaine’s “No Reservations” and what I loved about that show was the intimate nature of the cinematography and focus on the food. I see elements of that here in this new style, so maybe lean into it ^^ Wishing you much luck and looking forward to what the you’ll all bring here soon -inorganica
Thank you for avoiding ridiculous expensive places! I hated the gold pizza and other stuff where you clearly felt the need to "compliment" it. Because it was expensive I like these unique stores they are really nice. :)
Worth it is a show I still revisit, I’m so glad to see y’all back. The format and more meals here is interesting, and the production is great! Thanks for bringing this back to UA-cam
Hope you enjoyed our first episode of Travel Season! We'll be back next week with our second episode where we explore spicy food in Korean cuisine, eating increasingly hotter foods for 24 hours!
Didn’t really, thanks for asking though! 😊
Hope this ends up on the revive dead shows poll so everyone can avoid it

Video idea: Steve and Andrew eat a multi course dinner in a haunted house
the deleted my comments on IG for this idea not the dinner thing but Steven Lim did say i wanted to go to a Haunted House with Shane and Ryan
He and Andrew eat meanwhile Shane and Ryan ghost hunt. Dinner and a show
Why do yall feel the need to make suggestions? Just appreciate their content

I LOVE THE INTRO SM. The more artistic and "aesthetic" videography is so wonderful to see. So glad to see the worth it gang back at it !
is this what it's like to have two friends date, break up, move to different continents, and then unexpectedly get back together???
I love Adam's direction and camera style! we saw it on Food Files too, but I'm enjoying getting even more of it with this series!
The moment the video started, I was already thinking, "This is so gorgeous!"
Oh so this is Adam’s fault. Gotcha. I was wondering why they made a video with no info and just disjointed “artsy” visuals.
Im not the only one missong the worth it format, am i?
Like the interviews, the enthusiasm, the dorkiness
This has become more if a documentary than a fun show
I like the episode but i miss my three musketeers.....im sorry but i really do. No hate to this video....maybe a critique as I've been watching worth it since it's beginning. I miss the dorks, the fun, the randomness, the behind the scenes, interviews with the ppl in the restaurant making the restaurant and its dishes....
I might be complaining too much, but i hope theres someone who understands what im saying here
If not, please feel free to tell me otherwise
I love that they're back....and I'd take it in any way they are arranging for it🥺😭💙✨
Completely agree.
Agree 100% i miss it too plus there was also rie and inga too so yeah

Worth it was amazing, they used to have interviews and the details one would get it directly from the chefs or owners. Here they describe it, which is not bad but the emotions you have when you're describing your own place vs. someone else describing it for you. Plus while even worth it was scripted, they did some impromptu things and improvised. Here it looks like they're not doing anything to change it. Even if they might be doing something, it's not as 'fun' as they used to do it.
For everyone wondering (and there seems to be a lot of you) they are using Kodak Ektar H35 film camera. They just hid all of the logos.
omg thank you so much!
Thank you kind stranger!
Bro i never expected you people will revive this show, extremely hyped for the upcoming episodes. Honestly a huge fan, have a good one and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! We're thrilled you enjoyed it!
@watcher it was beautiful the whole episode, a mix of nostalgia with a modern blend, I loved the fact that the wholesome food family has reunited alongside new crew members. Huge respect and love for the effort you people are putting in the production of this show. I leave today with Hunger for more episodes of both travel season and Ghost files.
Hey team, I am so happy for y'all finding your balance amidst everything....Demm the production is sick, the intro is sick....the direction is awesome.... though I stand here as an average broke yt Watcher but I gotta say... the effort is not unseen... it is kinda inspiring seeing you guys figuring it out.. All the best and all the love nd support.. Hella excited for everything tbh!!!🤩🤩🤩 All hail the watcher😜
We so appreciate you!! Hope you enjoy the show!
Was this written by the watcher team lol
@@rhododendroz6802Almost certainly. 😂
My dad was a long time Worth It fan, loved to watch the episodes with my mom. Sometimes it inspired him to make/try food - the poke episode singlehandedly changed our brain chemistry and we started looking for poke restaurants (Big fans! We even make our own DIY poke bowls at home.) He was excited to hear that a similar format with the crew is back. Can't wait to see more from y'all!
Damn... really? Have you hired someone to sit there refreshing, deleting comments?
Most likely not.
I think it might be fiIter though, as one of my comments disappeared despite being neutral (which an actual individual would've known it was.)
I'm not mad about it though. As long as they don't try to avoid critisism in general I personally think it's fine, and since the comments they've read are still up, that doesn't seem to be what they're doing.
@@Illadviced Yeah, at the time I wrote the comment, I only found one critical comment, the rest were all raving reviews that Watcher hearted… just looked back on the comments now and see that they’re allowing dissent!
@@boopsbucket Yeah, it's probably more to avoid the unhinged drama, rather than critisism. I can understand that, hahaha
Their old show is one of my comfort shows. This will easily replace it! Love the brick! The old-style film is so nostalgic. Love the side quests and having Adam, Andrew, and Steven back together. Also, Travel Wishes are fantastic. It's so pure and relatable.
It's sad to see you guys get old, i miss you both with the jolly character vibes.
i missed you guys and now its not just buzzfeed it feels like an actual doc i love it
I missed this team- Steve and Andrew and Adam. So glad to see them after so long! ❤
So happy to see y'all back together!... Hopefully we get to see Inga's cameo here and there as well. Love seeing the dynamic of Steven + Adam + Andrew + Inga.
Just want to say that i really missed this food content show and the chemistry of the food trio (steven, adam, and andrew). This channel has been my comfort go to ever since, so thank you for continuing to upload here. Hope you guys find more success in the future.
RIP Worth It
Despite all the hurdles and the initial reception (or lack thereof), I'm so glad y'all went with continuing this series anyway. Thank you so much! I love this series. Tbh I don't understand why people are complaining about y'all going on a trip you want and eating...that's literally what other UA-camrs do???? Anyway, so hyped for this show. As always, I love the places y'all chose and the comments. Keep the episodes long like this please!!!!
the complaint comes because they said they were broke and asked their audience to pay them money while simultaneously planning really expensive trips for their videos. people weren't just mad that they were eating and taking trips alone because they're not stupid. hope that helps.
@@kaskaskas they asked for support to *continue* making quality shows. Like many other channels (like 2nd Try and Dropout) they know they cannot continue to grow and sustain a business on the platform without additional funding. I want to see them continue and succeed, so I'm willing to pay for the content I'm consuming. Creators have a right to charge for their work.
@@kaskaskas Well, it's a business, not a charity. They have to travel to make the shows and pay their crew. I'm baffled as to why people think free content is somehow a right nowadays.
@@medukameguca8529 problem is this shit ain't quality. Watcher has never and will never crank out enough content to warrant a $5/mo subscription from me
@@addy5572 It's not about people getting upset per se, but rather about just *how* upset some are, and the fact that they've been repeating the same things for like 2½ months, despite that situation having been over for pretty much as long. They're obviously not just (ex)fans who got disappointed for a moment because they thought they'd lose content that they like, hahaha.
I love how from the first episode Travel Season is saying "All respect to Worth It, but we have all grown in our craft, so watch this". The "$2 vs $50" in the title makes one think "oh, they are going to carry on the concepts from worth it" and in the very end, just when they are going to say which chicken was most "worth it", they officially kill the whole worth it concept by saying "its hard to separate the enjoyment of one without the context of another. And of course an experience is so much more than any single bite of food. And in a lot of cases it's even more than the whole meal."
Worth It was the chrysalis. Travel Season is the butterfly.
@@addy5572 haha, some days. But their evolution in both skill and style is fun to witness. I enjoyed the show quite a bit.
@@addy5572They're astroturfing here pretty bad so that's where most of the "overly positive" comments are coming from.
@curtis8080 or, oooor, hear me out..some people have just been following the show since it started and are happy to see it back with some new style. Not everything is a conspiracy. Some people are out there just trying to make some entertaining content and other people are excited for it.
the editing and overall video format IS SO GOOD... the color grading too this is a high level show
Absolutely LOVED this for a debut episode of this season. I was anticipating a good quality food show, because the team obviously know what they're doing with that regard. I was NOT expecting this to be an earnestly high quality travel show in the way that it was. Loved the little extra trips, the flea markets, and the fun facts. Actually on par w/ Travel Man imo, which has long been my favourite travel show. Brilliantly produced and well hosted. Great job all!
Yussss, the orginal dream team! So good to see Andrew, Steven and Adam together again 🥰
I miss the old format! Less formal, casual, interviews, comments on the food, fun facts!
Loved watching the series so far on Watcher tv. Excited for the UA-cam audience to see. I love the spotlight it gives to local business and culture, this series has a lot of heart.
I love the fact they take photos and include them in the videos it’s honestly one of my favorite parts
The jazzy photo montage travel show title opener was so cute! I love the artsy style!
Also yay! Welcome back! I love this show! ❤
I'm so glad you three are back together. Nothing has filled my Worth It heart. I'm glad you've done it and I'm glad its on UA-cam.
12:40 that crunch is INSANE. Great watch, love Steven and Andrew combo! more please~
Man, i really loved the new concept of the show, trying to stay loyal to the whole "worth it" show idea with new ideas. But I miss the Steven, Andrew and Adam talking to the camera time/moments you know?? It's like they were talking to the audience. But fantastic first episode guys!! Great Work!!
I've been watching worth it for the longest time! When I was still in school me and my mom would watch ALL of the videos made of it 😆 I've always loved Steven, Andrews, and Adam's dynamic so much, and am so excited to see the beginning Travel Season and where it goes! It looks great so far :D loving all the watcher personalities
Thanks for being an OG! Hope you like the new direction for Travel Season!
Idk how you can complain that money is an issue but send an entire crew to South Korea?? And also do ghost files in the UK? Make it make sense
That’s literally why it’s an issue, they wanted to do expensive stuff they couldn’t afford
Literally poor management of resources that they tried to blame on anything but themselves
i'm an og buzzfeed fan so maybe biased but i loved them then and i love this style so much more 😌 can't wait for the rest of this season
hi watcher, just want to send all of you and the team so much love 💗 really a comfort channel for me and surely a lot of others and genuinely everything you guys have put out there have been amazing quality and so fun and entertaining and travel season is no different. just want to let you guys know you’re so appreciated. 💗 another thing: holy shit the production of this is amazing intro immediately had me pulled in 😭😭 also really touching to see the worth it team back together!! amazing work guys!!!
I really want to like the show, but like the others, I think I’m having a hard time understanding the new direction. What I love about Steven’s food shows, is that it’s one part educational, one part food photography, one part lighthearted banter. Like the Steven eats through Korea for 24 hours one off video. Absolutely loved it. I totally understand wanting to do something more serious, and I’ll probably keep watching the series to see where it goes. But it’s not a video I would watch over and over again like Worth It.
It's awesome to see the old crew back together, especially Adam and Annie!
I'm obsessed with their dynamic and I'm looking forward to me. This is also a very pleasant format.
Super excited to see this style series return! Really enjoy watching you two, and Adam too! If I had to make a couple suggestions or critiques, I'd say... Whenever possible, bring back the interviews with chefs and/or owners of the establishments. That was always a great peak into how each unique well-oiled machine runs. Second, I think you guys could do away with most of the voice over (it sounded as though I was being read to, and didn't come across as natural). Instead, maybe in an open discussion style before you eat or while waiting for the food or something along those lines, you could talk about the foods the establishment is most known for along with what foods you'll specifically be trying.
Wow, the intro caught me off guard 😍
Unsolved and Worth It are the two series that got me through college days. I'm glad to just see all of you got together again. Goodluck on the upcoming journey guys!!
This is unreal, I’m so glad y’all are here! ❤️
Amdrew, you are the god damn MVP!
If you don't inherently hate it - please do more hosting stuff in videos.
Your knowledge about cooking and enthusiasm for food really shines through the screen.
"We cant afford to pay our team of editors" doesent really mesh well with flying to Korea for expensive chicken...
I miss "Watch It" more than I imagined. The banter between Andrew, Stephen and Adam was usually so fun to watch. I miss the conversations with the people who actually make the food but while the content is different, it's fun. Thanks!!
I love the show and you all back together! Looking forward to more. For the record, I'm broke and will probably never make it to Seoul.
Instead of being mad at Watcher and Steven for creating entertainment content that costs money (just like any other entertainment content), I use it to escape and be entertained and I do so with gratitude.
Thanks guys!
I’m probably one of the minority here that started as a Worth it fan and supported Watcher coz of Steven so it saddens me to see all that’s happening but I hope you guys learned from it and continue to listen to the fans’ concerns. This channel still has so much potential. I’m rooting for you guys. ❤
FINALLY!!! Thank god you guys are back!!! Love this !!!!
THEY ARE BACKKKKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!
Food content isn't my vibe but I'm glad that you guys are still posting content here on youtube
I'm glad that I watched just enough Worth It (and Dish Granted, and Homemade) before this to learn the number one lesson for watching Travel Season: do NOT start the episode when it's too late to run to the store or order takeout. 🍽 So many mouthwatering food inspirations here.
Worth It was how I discovered Steven, Andrew, and Adam back in college. I loved their chemistry. I was glad they branched out of Buzzfeed and made Watcher and About to Eat, and was sad when A.T.E. stopped. It's so great to see the boys back together again, all the best for your continued success!
Congratulations on launching!
It's a wonderful episode from the most incredible of seasons and I'm so glad it's out there for everyone to see!
thank you for bringing back worth it!!! it was my favorite series for years and it feels good to know that you guys are reviving it again 😭😭😭 i love seeing these guys together! hoping to see more travel season!
I kinda vibe with this new format. Feels like a hangover, but not those headachy ones, rather those lazy blissful ones where you just want to grab food and do nothing all day.
"The kind of food that makes traveling 'worth it'" I see what ya'll did there !!!!!
Never been more excited to see you guys back together again 😄
Beautiful job, all! Anthony Bourdain would be proud. I love The Brick; it's like a new cast member :) And the photos are a great touch. It's not like whipping out your phone, clicking a thousand times, and endlessly scrolling to find the perfect, post-able pic. It speaks to your message about reminding yourself to be present in your experiences when you travel. Excited to see Andrew's souvenir choice in each episode!
I don’t watch a lot of UA-cam, and when I did it was usually Andrew & Steven + Adam(Annie,Inga & Rie) I got emotional as soon as Andrew’s VO started 🥹
i think people forget, they arent working with buzzfeed money here. budgets are not the same. the amount of crew is not the same. they dont have the same number of cameras and gear as they used to have. they have only so much time and money to spend on these episodes.
either way, what they have here is fine. im not picky about "voice overs" or other complaints that people have by comparing this to buzzfeeds version. it is what it is. we are lucky to even have these 2 back together. you can either have this or nothing at all. i rather have them together in any format.
crazy how yall really wanted us to pay for ur expensive series again 😂😭
Annie was my favorite member of the worth it team, glad to see she's still on the road with you guys!
Ever since I heard about Watcher, I’d hoped they’d make a version of Worth It. I know a lot of people are fans of the “scary” content - I am too! - but I loved Worth It back in the day and I hope to see more food related stuff in the future.
Omg no way, my fave duo. Worth it was my fave show on you tube.
It makes me so proud to see how far the Watcher guys have come! I've been watching their content since the BF days and have been an avid fan since they first started Watcher! I absolutely cannot wait to see all the amazing things you all continue to do! 😍
This is my very first time watching any of Steven's food content and I loved this so so much. Worth It never felt like my cup of tea but this was so cozy and chill and inviting, I will be watching the rest of the episodes! Keep up the great work, all, thank you!
excited for the show and all the new episodes coming up!!
I love how relaxing this show is.
This was fantastic. It was wonderful to see the group back together again, eating delicious foods and exploring interesting places. Looking forward to the rest!
absolute chill vibe and hearing about good food! wasnt sure how much id be into it but it was genuinely really nice lol
andrew in that black turtle neck got me acting unwise
Should we tell him to wear it more often then? lol
@@watcher if he'd be so kind 🥰 for the gays, lol
So happy to see Steven with Andrew & Adam again!
Travel Season is legitimately lovely and I hope for many more seasons!
I adore Travel Season. It's so well shot and edited. It's super cozy and heart warming. ❤
This episode was so great! It really felt like we got to experience a lot of the culture in Seoul, and I actually enjoyed this more than Worth It. Looking forward to the subsequent episodes. Now I have to eat dinner because this made me so hungry.
Glad i see this content again! i'm so happy youtube recommend me this
I've never gotten so hungry watching these guys eat until this episode. Everything looked delish! Looking forward for this season.
Kind of like that the videos are truly made as an episode and not just for youtube
I really really enjoyed this first episode. I watched the worth it series back in the day; but this blends an Anthony bourdain/worth it series together it’s a really great series guys thank you.
Hey guys, I know you had a mistep as a channel/studio, but This was really good, I do hope we get more of the chef/store owner/ shop owner's voice on the matter of the meals. I really missed andrew (and adam) and the banter between the two hosts in Worth It. I hope you guys just keep going despite the misstep and I wish you guys all the luck.
All these positive comments are not suspicious and don't read like bots at all. 🙃 im sure there are truly this many people curious about what camera they're using.
BBOORRRIINNGG! 🥱😴. Where’s the chef commentary? Backstory on the restaurants? Quippy jokes and light competition between hosts? I got half way through and checked out.
Ok
Weird Wonderful World is my favorite series on Watcher! I love the ghost hunting, the spooky stories, and the scary video games, but Weird Wonderful World is the quintessential Ryan and Shane content that I love! It's just them doing weird stuff in weird places!
Despite liking the Worth It formar, I LOVE the voice over. It gives me a cozy feeling that I’m watching a documentary but with my friends hosting it. Am looking forward to seeing more of this. ❤❤❤
Finally, the boys are back in (korea)town. The production value on this is insane❤
It seems like this series places a big emphasis on travel and enjoying the cultural significance of the food rather than on the restaurant or a specific dish. I really enjoyed watching some familiar faces in new ways! Can't wait for the next episode.
The comments seem awfully sunny compared to that like-to-dislike ratio. (Note: I am resubmitting this comment because I got a super weird response to this by a fellow fan acting defensive (I guess?) on Watcher's behalf? Not sure what that's about, this was literally the extent of my comment, but if that same person sees this comment again: Hi! Also, are you good?)
Absolutely adore seeing the friendly facies. Love that you started with Korea. A bit of nostalgia with a nice fresh feel. Can't wait for the rest of the season
This was just beautifully directed, shot and narratored. It feels like wathcing a genuine documentary, which is what I assume they wanted to do considering they wanted to improve their production. Great watch.
Hi Watcher, I've been a fan of Worth It since it was still Keith and Steven going on these adventures. Like most people here in the comments, I will be trying to provide constructive criticism based on this episode all in the hopes that you can shape the series back into the same (but better) Worth It that we've been watching all these years.
1. I agree with most comments here; less voice over, more actual conversation. Andrew, Steven, and Adam have interesting and fun dynamics between each other and it's sad to see so much less of that in this episode.
2. Please bring back the interview with the chefs and staff. All the wisdom, tips, tricks, and sometimes silly banter from chefs and kitchen staff is what makes Worth It worth it. It gave the OG series so much character, and I hope we can incorporate that still in this all-new production of Worth It.
3. I miss the ingenuity of 'fact time' in the OG series. I always loved and looked forward to listening to some completely random fact about food, all because there was appropriate and predictable build-up to it. It creates an element of consistency in each episode in a way that is still fun and original.
4. There is much less commentary about food which is sad because that is the heart of the show. Without that, the show becomes just like any other documentary; boring and repetitive. I would hate to see Worth It go down that same path.
Overall, I am still ever so grateful for Watcher for bringing Worth It back. All my love to Adam, Steven and Andrew. I appreciate what you all guys do.
Dream come true for steven.. is it worth it?
I don’t know if you guys will see this comment:
But I really enjoyed this video. I think I understand that not every video with you guys will be a replica of Worth It. I really think the sobering and more raw elements of the video caught some people off guard, but to me it’s a natural evolution of your cinematography, and I think your concepts with food and travel can reach new heights, so long as you stay focused on one thing: make what you love. So long as I know you guys are enjoying what you make, I’ll watch any video about food with you all ^^
I loved watching a lot of one on one almost biopics of food and cooking from About to Eat (especially with Andrew) and from reading the comments not everyone will be a fan of each new endeavor,
But if it’s one thing I do know it’s that I thoroughly enjoy watching your all’s’ intersections on watcher (Shane and Ryan too ! ^^) and it’s that interaction that I think brings in Watcher viewers, because viewers are drawn to that.
I hope to see more of Andrew and Steven (and Adam!) and the watcher crew make new and interesting things. I want to hear more of the foods you guys try, places you travel, and to see you interview locals and chefs (when you can include it) but do it in a way that feels good to you guys! I recently rewatched the late Anthony Bourdaine’s “No Reservations” and what I loved about that show was the intimate nature of the cinematography and focus on the food. I see elements of that here in this new style, so maybe lean into it ^^
Wishing you much luck and looking forward to what the you’ll all bring here soon
-inorganica
Thank you for avoiding ridiculous expensive places!
I hated the gold pizza and other stuff where you clearly felt the need to "compliment" it. Because it was expensive
I like these unique stores they are really nice. :)
I miss dish granted!!! Even if they had a limited budget the love was there 😍
Worth it is a show I still revisit, I’m so glad to see y’all back. The format and more meals here is interesting, and the production is great! Thanks for bringing this back to UA-cam
