007: Road to a Million

I was skeptical but made it through the first episode and now onto the second. So far so good. I'm liking it better than the Amazing Race. It's a bit more serious and even dangerous. Brian Cox does an excellent job with his Borne Supremacy persona and lije a Bond villain watches the mystery unfold in a dark room full of monitors. I'll keep watching it the hope that it will get even better. The challenges definitely remind you of what Bond might have to deal with and the music adds to the suspense while the tension of the participants provides a few moments of levity. They must also have sone knowledge of history.

As a huge James Bond fan, I loved the little subtleties in the show (going to Jamaica and staying at Goldeneye, for instance), as well as a lot of good trivia questions. The global travel is shot amazingly well. Brian Cox does a great job as the host/puppet master.

The contestants all have their own human interest angles. There are the brothers, coworkers, father/son, husband/wife pairs. The puzzles aren't terribly challenging but it's edited pretty tightly. It's a fun, lighthearted challenge reality show.

They do try to bring some Bond locations and such in but it could be heavier in that category. Great score flourishes musically as well.

Really enjoyed the document track and Brian Cox and the trivia and the action and the contests .

A epic reality spanning the globe . Following in Bonds footsteps location wise and technology wise . Some gadgets , alligators, snakes , spiders , cliff scaling , rope climbing .

Lots of trivia questions but to get the answer correct leads to more tests of courage and or strength agility .

I would recommend this show it can only get better . I feel the producers will see any mistake and or area to improve upon.

Epic show with epic payouts . People need to watch this if they like reality shows like the amazing race and or survivor.

There is an abundance of tv shows taking uk contestants around the world and/or the world for their chance at winning a cash prize.

This one is different, you can tell it has a big budget and the cinematography is really next level because of this. It's definitely got class.

As you will see by some reviews, people quit after 10 minutes, making their review reflecting nothing but the genre of the show. It's fun, the contestants all brought something different. You really do hope they get past each challenge.

It's really well edited, apart from a 2 second shot from a helicopter, there is no evidence of a film crew being there, you start to feel like you are the third person there.

Of course there is a bit of cheese, any fan of James Bond can look back and see a bit of cheese here and there.

Brian Cox was of course brilliant also.

Yes someone moaned about the bone brothers. They are not asking you to be friend with them, they were a class act. Really authentic characters, and deserved to get as far as they did, if not even further.

This is a tv show which has nothing to do with the James Bond series. I don't know why they have spent so much money to get the 007 name and the theme. The production is big, encompassing many countries but the whole show lacks energy and excitement. They have Brian Cox to head the show but he does nothing nor adds nothing to the show. Any guy with a voicebox would do. I love well written reality shows like Taskmaster or Traitors and this isn't one of them. This show promises the adventures of James Bond but it doesn't deliver. Locations + cabriolets + soundtrack is not equal Bond adventures. What the contestants do is go around different locations, find briefcases which contain questions and answer them. This is the scope of Bond life promised. I hope they do better with new episodes.
