Season 1 Review:
Dark Tourist is the work of a cheery, good-natured, curious individual drawn to the ugliest side of human nature, and it’s that contrast which gives the series its potent energy. Over the course of each 40-minute installment, Farrier gets himself into situations both strange and perilous, which is all the more captivating because he comes across as a fundamentally jovial sort of wide-eyed explorer.

Season 1 Review:
In rare moments, Dark Tourist (the show) summons some sense of this appreciation for how resilient people can be. ... More often, Dark Tourist treats its subjects like curios in a junk shop, casually examining them from different angles and then discarding them. ... Dark Tourist is just another guide on the trip, cashing in on people’s morbid curiosities without caring what real wisdom it could impart if it tried.

Some of the episodes are quite good, others are forced. The presenter is mocked as being a cheap Theroux. He's not even close to being that good. He's an annoying wet blanket. If they get a decent host for the future they'll get a good following, because the idea has loads of potential.
