Not sure I’m clever enough to follow it entirely, but enjoying it nonetheless.
We had a brilliant day at Arne last summer

It’s such a great show. I’m usually quite averse to reality TV but there’s really nothing bad to say about that show for me. It shows you wonderful places, promotes overland travel, and avoids the use of mobile phones - all against the backdrop of a race.
I really enjoyed the competitors in the latest series - particularly the young contestants - they were all such great people and I thought the show handled their relationships and the difficulties they’ve faced really well. It was refreshing to see when you have rancid shows like Love Island that do the exact opposite.

Yes, really enjoyed it and worthy winners. As said above. All the contestants were great, which makes it a far more enjoyable watch!

Finished it last night, thought it started really good, loses it’s way at the end with a Hollywood ending, the characters are a bit cliched as well, very black and white not much murky grey.
Like a lot of Netflix series it could have been told in half the number of episodes.
Cumberbatch is really good though imo and the music is great throughout, Supernature sounded so good I had to buy it off BC right away.

Episode 2 I think I heard Gichy Dan - Cowboys and Gangsters playing in the background when he’s questioning Gater in the kitchen of the club?
One of the few family things we can all watch. It definitely fires up the travel bug! Cynic in me does wonder how the managed to be so close at the end though.
Celeb one next. Last one was slightly less challenging. Hope they push them a bit more on this one.

Being a bit obsessed with Asia this one was right up my street. Great people too. Really, really curious about Indonesia now. Gonna binge the first three seasons next week.

Was holding off viewing this thread as only just seen the last episode of Race Across the World tonight and as mentioned earlier it’s one of the few things we sit down as a four to watch too. Wasn’t that arsed at first when Mrs CovKid and son started watching a few years ago, mid covid I reckon. However it’s really grown on me. Gets my two looking at maps and globes which I’m all for. The two winners this time, annoyed me initially but again I’m proved wrong - nice to see such a strong bond between them after all their struggles. Indonesia too, looks great and cheap as. Not sure where they’d do next as huge chunks of the globe are off limits. Australia? Alaska to Mexico but they did Canada last year I think.
