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!
Considering this kind of content is why they tried to extort money from us, I would prefer they left watcher to shane and ryan and started their own channel. I'm not paying for this shit
Considering they tried to extort us for money claiming they needed it and are now sending the least important and most out-of-touch member of Watcher around the world to eat food, fuck em 😂
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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😜
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.
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 TH-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.
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.
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
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!
Just found the ""new"" channel and love to see Steven, Andrew and Adam are still at it. Any differences from "Worth it" i'm sure are to make it a more pleasant experience for them to make good content for us and i actually have no critique of the new style, i even enjoy it more in a lot of ways because it reminds me of my own trips abroad with my friend - Eating together and then having tiny adventures inbetween like Andrew finding his spoon after searching for a souviner all day. I really really enjoyed this episode and I want to see more!
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.
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!
That was excellent. So great to see Andrew and Steven and Adam back for more restaurant videos, with an interesting and enjoyable new spin. Looking forward to the season.
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!
To this day, Andrew‘s „that‘s what they called me in high school...hot honey“ is a quote stuck in my head. “White kimchi will be my name by the end of this trip” feels full circle 😂
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!!
I was so excited when this series was announced because I loved Worth It and I was hoping for an upgrade especially since the team is going international. But it feels like Travel Season took all that was good about the older series and sterilized it for "TV". We barely hear from the locals about these spots let alone take to the owners/chefs. There is basically no real commentary on the food itself and the taste. Like why even go to 7/11 if all you did was say a chicken fact outside the store and just move on? The excessive use of b-roll over very scripted voiceover that just comes off unnatural. Not to sound harsh but this didn't really feel like the TV show quality that was promised if anything it was an overproduced Instagram story of a bunch of rich guys travelling. It's nice to see Andrew, Steven and Adam back together again but this format isn't working and the views reflect that. I hope you don't continue to filter comments and listen to the fans that truly do want the best for you.
I used to watch them when worth it was in its prime like 8 years ago or so and its actually a bit emotional to see how much older they've gotten. Theyre so cute still having fried chicken and the vibe is really like when you hang out w ur old buddies from ur late teens or early twenties when u had so much energy still and now theyre so relaxed and cracking up jokes like old pals nothings changed except that you got more comfortable and its as if they never even got older. If i saw them eating chicken like that in person i would think just two uncles old friends eating chicken tgt sososo cute.
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
It's certainly in poor taste to make claims that the business is running out of money and then to release content of the CEO flying internationally to eat expensive food for content. I respect the decision to walk back taking content off TH-cam after the backlash. I think this was a poor choice for the first content on the new platform as proof of why the new platform was necessary.
Wasn't the first new content just Ryan and Shane gaming? Because that was the next show in their season lineup. And this was the next show after that. On all the videos of the new Survival Mode season you can find comments mocking them for the low production quality and asking if this is what they meant by "television caliber" or whatever. Then the next season they release is gorgeously filmed and produced, and the comments are filled with people complaining about how much it must have cost. They can't win. I am glad they're making what they want to make, because I think over time genuine, raw enthusiasm for their subjects (Shane with history and culture, Ryan for spooky and mysterious stuff, Steven for food and connecting with people) will win out over the naysayers and soulless content generated for clicks. I hope so, anyway. (Edited for spelling. Dyslexia is a sonofa)
I watch worth it every day. any meal or food that i eat i look for a relating episode aka chicken i watch chicken epsiodes, dumplings...you guessed it a dumpling episode... Please never stop this show. I mentally need it for my ocd. 😅 No pressure.
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 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.
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 would enjoy watching you guys even if you would be recording from a cheap cellphone 🔥 so glad you're back, we were still watching the old show almost daily while eating
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!
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 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.
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!
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!
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
Yes! Here for the food content ❤

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 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.
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!

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!
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.
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. 😂
I love the fact that you guys are not just focusing on finding the most expensive food but the more trendy places to compare them
12:40 that crunch is INSANE. Great watch, love Steven and Andrew combo! more please~
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.
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 TH-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'm such a worth it fan and just found the trio finally came back 5 months later????? Damn I miss you guys so much
FINALLY!!! Thank god you guys are back!!! Love this !!!!
I love how this has evolved into something so much calm, love you guys and honestly we need more
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.
I love the fact they take photos and include them in the videos it’s honestly one of my favorite parts
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 missed this team- Steve and Andrew and Adam. So glad to see them after so long! ❤
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 TH-cam.
Yussss, the orginal dream team! So good to see Andrew, Steven and Adam together again 🥰
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!
The jazzy photo montage travel show title opener was so cute! I love the artsy style!
Also yay! Welcome back! I love this show! ❤
the editing and overall video format IS SO GOOD... the color grading too this is a high level show
Just found the ""new"" channel and love to see Steven, Andrew and Adam are still at it. Any differences from "Worth it" i'm sure are to make it a more pleasant experience for them to make good content for us and i actually have no critique of the new style, i even enjoy it more in a lot of ways because it reminds me of my own trips abroad with my friend - Eating together and then having tiny adventures inbetween like Andrew finding his spoon after searching for a souviner all day.
I really really enjoyed this episode and I want to see more!
Never been more excited to see you guys back together again 😄
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.
RIP Worth It
Really enjoying this series so far! So good to see Andrew-he has such a calm vibe that's really fun to watch.
I've never gotten so hungry watching these guys eat until this episode. Everything looked delish! Looking forward for this season.
Love the new Worht IT! Format is bomb please dont stop
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!
That was excellent. So great to see Andrew and Steven and Adam back for more restaurant videos, with an interesting and enjoyable new spin. Looking forward to the season.
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!
It's sad to see you guys get old, i miss you both with the jolly character vibes.
"We cant afford to pay our team of editors" doesent really mesh well with flying to Korea for expensive chicken...
Ahhh love your worth it videossss !! 🥹🥹 new thing the best 😅 can’t wait to see more videos like this are u going the United States again ?
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!
Super excited about this series I love the videography
I miss the old format! Less formal, casual, interviews, comments on the food, fun facts!
To this day, Andrew‘s „that‘s what they called me in high school...hot honey“ is a quote stuck in my head. “White kimchi will be my name by the end of this trip” feels full circle 😂
I'm obsessed with their dynamic and I'm looking forward to me. This is also a very pleasant format.
Glad i see this content again! i'm so happy youtube recommend me this
"The kind of food that makes traveling 'worth it'" I see what ya'll did there !!!!!
Damn u guys are so back ! Loved the change wd retro pix n vibe overall !
it's been a long time since i saw this trio, time to watch again, welcome back...
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!!
andrew, totally serious trying to choose a beer, oblivious to steven dancing in the background in balladak had me howling with laughter lmaooo
excited for the show and all the new episodes coming up!!
I’m so excited to see Steven Andrew and Adam eat food again 😂 Love the format of the show so far!
So glad to finally see this on TH-cam! Very comfy show and it makes me wish it was winter again instead of boiling summer right now haha
Food content isn't my vibe but I'm glad that you guys are still posting content here on youtube
I was so excited when this series was announced because I loved Worth It and I was hoping for an upgrade especially since the team is going international. But it feels like Travel Season took all that was good about the older series and sterilized it for "TV". We barely hear from the locals about these spots let alone take to the owners/chefs. There is basically no real commentary on the food itself and the taste. Like why even go to 7/11 if all you did was say a chicken fact outside the store and just move on? The excessive use of b-roll over very scripted voiceover that just comes off unnatural. Not to sound harsh but this didn't really feel like the TV show quality that was promised if anything it was an overproduced Instagram story of a bunch of rich guys travelling. It's nice to see Andrew, Steven and Adam back together again but this format isn't working and the views reflect that. I hope you don't continue to filter comments and listen to the fans that truly do want the best for you.
So excited the crew is back together and I love the new direction ❤️ Excited to watch the rest of the series!!!!
crazy how yall really wanted us to pay for ur expensive series again 😂😭
I used to watch them when worth it was in its prime like 8 years ago or so and its actually a bit emotional to see how much older they've gotten. Theyre so cute still having fried chicken and the vibe is really like when you hang out w ur old buddies from ur late teens or early twenties when u had so much energy still and now theyre so relaxed and cracking up jokes like old pals nothings changed except that you got more comfortable and its as if they never even got older. If i saw them eating chicken like that in person i would think just two uncles old friends eating chicken tgt sososo cute.
THEY ARE BACKKKKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!
this was a beautiful, cinematic, and thoughtful way to showcase the creative approaches to chicken you encountered. I very much enjoyed 10/10 >>
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!
You're back!!!!!!! Did not know till just now!
It's certainly in poor taste to make claims that the business is running out of money and then to release content of the CEO flying internationally to eat expensive food for content.
I respect the decision to walk back taking content off TH-cam after the backlash.
I think this was a poor choice for the first content on the new platform as proof of why the new platform was necessary.
Wasn't the first new content just Ryan and Shane gaming? Because that was the next show in their season lineup. And this was the next show after that. On all the videos of the new Survival Mode season you can find comments mocking them for the low production quality and asking if this is what they meant by "television caliber" or whatever. Then the next season they release is gorgeously filmed and produced, and the comments are filled with people complaining about how much it must have cost. They can't win. I am glad they're making what they want to make, because I think over time genuine, raw enthusiasm for their subjects (Shane with history and culture, Ryan for spooky and mysterious stuff, Steven for food and connecting with people) will win out over the naysayers and soulless content generated for clicks. I hope so, anyway.

Guys, such a good intro. Excited for the rest of this series, but especially excited for WWW to come back 🎉🥸
I just watched a cut of an upcoming episode and it's unhinged. Hope you like it! - Katie
I watch worth it every day. any meal or food that i eat i look for a relating episode aka chicken i watch chicken epsiodes, dumplings...you guessed it a dumpling episode... Please never stop this show. I mentally need it for my ocd. 😅 No pressure.
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 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.
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!!
Love the b-roll.❤❤ yum 😊
Andrew and Steven are so funny together.
Happy you guys are making this content for us and a lot of us support and love you guys. ❤
I would enjoy watching you guys even if you would be recording from a cheap cellphone 🔥 so glad you're back, we were still watching the old show almost daily while eating
I’m super excited to see more episodes! Couldn’t be more thrilled to see you guys together again 💗
This feels like watching a high quality TV-show - I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
It's awesome to see the old crew back together, especially Adam and Annie!
Omg no way, my fave duo. Worth it was my fave show on you tube.
I missed this so so so so much and it means so much to me that this show is being made 😭💕 This is the whole reason why I'm here. Keep it up guys!
So glad to have you guys back doing this kind of show!
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!
I don’t watch a lot of TH-cam, and when I did it was usually Andrew & Steven + Adam(Annie,Inga & Rie) I got emotional as soon as Andrew’s VO started 🥹
Annie was my favorite member of the worth it team, glad to see she's still on the road with you guys!
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 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.
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 even loved the new theme song!! Thank you so much for bringing this show to life!
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!
We have Adam, Steven and Andrew comeback before GTA VI...love ur contents pls don't die
This is unreal, I’m so glad y’all are here! ❤️
I LOVE THIS. Seems fresh, fun, experimental, exciting. I feel so comfortable with y'all. I aspire to have this feeling more often.
