Is a delightful gem that proves you don't need explosions or adrenaline-fueled drama to be entertained. As someone who adored James May's Man Lab, I found this show to be the perfect follow-up. It's classic James May - quirky, insightful, and unashamedly celebratory of the mundane.

May's ability to turn "dull" topics into fascinating explorations is unmatched. The show is brimming with warmth, wit, and a surprising amount of humor.

It's the best thing James May has done in years. His charm, curiosity, and respect for the "ordinary" make every episode feel like a heartwarming conversation with an old friend.

I absolutely loved it and am already hoping for a Season 2. Bring it on, James!

Okay so... if you're doing the last episode for the history and putting the map of everywhere you've been in the world (minute 01:46:00), make it right. However... Croatia is not checked on the map (S02E04). Why? They've been in the edit for 1 year on this.

And beyond that, for 22 years both Top Gear and The Grand Tour were in regular TV format 16:9. This episode has a cinema letterbox and the aspect ratio if 2.00 : 1. So people need effort to zoom in just to fill 16:9 TV screen? Why? We're not watching this in cinema.

Overall, good episode and a great ending. I would give it 10/10 but eliminating a country that you filmed in 7 years ago is ridiculous.

Searching for the source of the Nile, fine. Rescuing themselves in Mongolia, fine. Taking pictures of animals in Columbia, fine. Building the bridge over the river Kwai, fine. Looking for pirate treasure, fine. Delivering food in Mozambique, fine. All those episodes were themed. They had purpose. They had goal.

This episode does not have that. They are just driving, that's it. Without goal or purpose. And in the middle of the episode they insert car reviews. Boring. In the last episode of Season 3, Jeremy announced specials, road trips. Not this.

At Amazon's website of the episode, photo behind the informations of the episode is guys in a field pushing Jeremy's car. Forget it, you're not getting that in the episode. And the picture of the episode below Scandi Flick, boys are standing in some sort of field arguing, you are also not getting that in the episode.

Also, when intro starts, there is a shot of Clarkson and Hammond sitting on sofas on a race track. You're also not going to see that in the episode.

Not to mention timing. The other day I watched Patagonia special. Fantastic episode, 2 hours in 2 parts. And I find out they filmed that in September 2014 and it was released in December 2014. After just 3 months. What has changed? Why is the gap between filming and release date 1 year now?
