Series host and premise

Vancouver native legendary pro skater Rick McCrank invites the viewers to take an unusual trip around America on Abandoned, Viceland’s new reality series that aired on September 2, 2016. The show’s freshman installment contains ten one-hour episodes. As practically all of Viceland originals, the show is an in-house production.

An exploration of abandoned spaces in very different areas across the US, the stories behind them, the sad beauty of ghost towns and disintegrating buildings are a monument to the ruthless flow of time and inevitable cycles of creation and destruction. The premiere episode focused on the North East of Ohio, and the city of Cleveland in particular, which was once a booming area with many manufacturing businesses, and had lost almost a half of its population in the last 70 years.

It's genuine with social lessons for us all, what to protect and what as humanity do we leave behind. Themes of ghosts of the past, of our present and those (seemingly) inevitable yet to come make this one of the best shows I've ever watched.
This show hits on so many levels, great host with fresh skateboarding - on anything you can find which has a real uniqueness. 10/10

Just like great shows in their first season being cancelled (Firefly), the cast ages - skateboarding isn't for older bodies, so, someone please pick this up for season 2 before Rick gets too old!!

I came across this show, loved it and watched several episodes. I was saddened to know it isn't on any more. It can't be because they ran out of abandoned places or areas in the US.
I would have added this to my must sees each week. It was so interesting, fun, informational and done really well.

0 11 Randy Still October 20, 2021

Like so many other great series I’ve watched on Vice (remember Gaycation?) Abandoned gets abandoned after one season. Rick the host is great, the locations were fascinating and safe to say it was a unique topic not often covered on tv. Hopefully Vice or some new network will pick up the series and carry it forward. But sometimes you have to just be grateful for the episodes you have.

0 20 Bob Harvey July 3, 2018

This show is just so good. I really hope they make more one of the more interesting programs on all of TV.

0 19 Rick hejdak May 19, 2018

Just seen 5 episodes ,one of the best shows on television I could watch it all day please bring it back

0 11 Jb9234 April 8, 2018

You can find the full first season on tubitv for free (...and with YouTube download software you can grab it!)

0 16 Theresa January 23, 2018

I love this show. New episodes would be great. It is very original. The producers have a unique way of presenting these abandoned areas. It is a great way to raise awareness of the problems that different societies face.

0 19 Fred Rawlings December 10, 2017

...you made it, we loved it and we want more! ...leaving us hang is not very viceland at all! ...please bring abandoned and Rick McCrank back for another season! ...plenty more places in Michigan to visit!

0 21 majurej November 5, 2017

This show is original and creative. I am fascinated with abandoned structures and the history behind them. The host, is respectful of the history of these buildings and gentle as he skateboards thru them. Having a Canadian brings a fresh eye and perspective to the buildings. I've emailed Viceland several times to see if the show has been renewed and they continue to ignore my question. Television is so bad, but this show is refreshing. I would love to one day see some of these places. This show should be renewed.

0 13 Susan Holderman October 21, 2017

I really love Abandoned...the human waste. Salton Sea with sad. I remember reading that in the movies magazines 1960's....So Sad. Malls too. Ron Crunk is awesome...and I like the skateboarding in the end...makes me happy. I am almost 69 year old

0 4 Susan holderman Susan Holderman October 21, 2017

Rick McCrank...sorry

0 0 Suellyn Susan holderman July 8, 2022

I really miss this show! Will another network pick it up?

0 11 Tash October 9, 2017

Sublimely produced program. More of this please!

0 14 Mark .Y. October 1, 2017

Terrific show, one of my Favorites on vice. Cinematography is stunning and Rick is a great host being so approachable.I hope they renew it for a second season.

0 14 Ken B September 20, 2017

Love this show great places and stories. Hey Viceland Bring it back Rick is one helluva host, i have watched all the episodes 3 times at least. Do not disappoint me Viceland!!!!!

0 19 AzDave August 24, 2017

I keep watching vice and checking the internet to see if more episodes are forthcoming. So far nada, zip, nothing. Comon Viceland, this show is awesome and you need to give it another season. I keep seeing the first season episodes on Roku on demand so you know we are still watching. So comon guy/gals crank up the McCrank and give us our freaking Abandoned fix!!!

0 23 Tommmmy August 13, 2017

I loved this gritty nostalgic show. It transported me and my emotions back to happier times. With everything on tv so focused on consumption and materialism, it is a breath of fresh air to go on a hauntingly exciting adventure to simpler times. Rick is the perfect humble host who gives off a sense of yearning for better times. Please renew this truly exceptional show.

0 22 Jorge July 29, 2017

Abandoned is one of my favorite Viceland shows and I hope beyond hope that you all give it a second season. Rick is such a great host (well, all of the network hosts are amazing) and every episode has such incredibly gorgeous footage, touching interactions with locals, and phenomenal music. Abandoned was one of the first shows that ever had me so enraptured that I actually felt like I was going on an adventure with Rick. So much so, I feel a little bummed when each episode ends and we recap every person we've met along the way. To everyone involved with this show: thank you.

0 18 JoeG July 17, 2017

Abandoned is up there with best of VICE, please bring this show back for another season. Everything about this series is great, the way it's shot, how Rick interviews the locals, it goes really deep. Even my wife likes it, and she doesn't like anything!

0 21 Nick s May 19, 2017

i can not get enough of this show.mccrank is wonderful please make a season 2 with double the episodes this show is well produced and very entertaining i cant imagine this not getting great reviews

0 27 Elizabeth, England May 15, 2017

Have never even held a skateboard, nor heard of Viceland or Rick Mc Crink, but am truly captivated by this show. Ironically the 'Abandoned' locations are beautifully shot and the local people are so interesting. This show is a wonderful find and despite living here in England I feel a certain nostalga for these places that have been left behind.
Hauntingly beautiful, I feel I have been on a journey after every episode. I admire the spirit of the Skaters who make use of the wasteland and Rick the presenter is very authentic to the project.
Mesmerizing and thought provoking, 'Abandoned' takes you on a visually rich journey, even the intro music stirs my emotions. Televison at it's best!!!! Well done Viceland!

Just finished watching the series on Sky Box sets. I was a skateboarder 35 years ago (where has the time gone) but this series brought back lots of memories of skating abandoned factories. Not so much boarding so suitable for all. Visually stunning and Rick is a natural and very eloquent. There are a lot of condescending hosts around who would not have been so kind to some of the locals. All in all a great series that the BBC should be making and I hope series 2 turns up soon.

0 18 Zac April 23, 2017

Instantly hooked and watched the whole series in one weekend. Beautifully shot and well presented. I have no interest in skateboarding, but even the small parts that were included are shot so well I could actually appreciate the skill involved and found it exciting.

It had a very arty feel to the way it was shot but without distracting from the subject. The presenter had a very good sense of humour and seemed to get better with each episode.

Really hope they do more.

0 15 C March 8, 2017

Can't get enough of this intriguing series, Abandoned, on so many levels! I hope Rick will return with Season 2 - - SOON!

9 4 Jac December 15, 2016

I have it on SKY series link...but...I have been watching Josh on UTUBE for a few years now and he explores the best places, then there is TikiTrek on UTube, exploring abandoned places in Canada, now she is good. This show runs off to skateboarding, even episode one went off skating. Employ any of the mentioned other abandoned explorers who spoon feed the scene, they are excellent. I will keep watching this show, will give it a chance but please, less skating, do it in your own time.

I've had a love for abandoned and forgotten things Since I was a young lass. This show takes the cake for me, everything shown catches my attention. I'm fascinated by what he explores and it's almost as if I am living through him exploring also. I hope there is a season 2, I just rewatched all of season 1.
This show deserves 100 seasons.

0 12 JoshB43140 December 1, 2016

Love this show. Rick does an amazing job of making you feel right there. I've always enjoyed strolling through abandoned areas full of memories. Because of this show I even picked up my old skateboard again. Seriously cannnot wait for more episodes. I never even heard of viceland before I started watching abandoned. I hate 95% of the garbage on TV so this is a certified endorsement.
