I watched the show, and was a little disappointed. I've been watching Anthony Bourdain over the years and to be honest, I was expecting something a little different. We only were given a small glimpse of the island rich and average. I think he needs to come back and give a glimpse of the best food places all along Negril's seven mile beach. Come back Anthony, let's have another show.
I think those that find the show disappointing are looking at this show through a totally different lens then they would any other episode. Most of us have our own experience with Jamaica and I feel many were hoping this episode would reflect their own personal experiences. When he visits other destinations unfamilure to us we can't turn around and say he should have went here or there or done this or that.
Also, I believe his original show was on the food network and the focus was on food. His current show is on CNN and while food is still highlighted I feel there is more emphasis on highlighting social and political issues in the areas he visits.
The court just ordered public access to Winnifred beach. I wonder if the show helped achieve this ruling.

I agree with the comments on the board; I found the show lacking in energy and confusing.
