On the Roam (2024– )
9/10
Very surprising watch the second and third before you judge
2 February 2024
I started watching this because I am a huge fan. I was a huge fan of just another gorgeous body. I watched thinking oh maybe I will get to see a great behind, as we know Jason loves to show us his body. And yes, I got to see the world famous arse. But I stopped watching the show because of a gorgeous body and started watching the show because of a gorgeous mind.

I was shocked to see such a depth of emotion in the show that I was not expecting. It's not so much in the first show, that's to me a typical guy being a guy show. I was shook watching the second show. Watching J, not Jason, J come to life and show his joy of life and art was amazing. And the shows became more about his friends and then the third show showcased his friends completely and gave details of their lives and J was just a commentator. And each show goes on like that.

Listening to the stories of his family of friends was brilliant. These are blue color workers, long haired, tattooed, cursing men who the general public would normally ignore and he gave them voices. He didn't focus his show on himself, he focused on the people behind him and brought them to the front.

The things we do learn about J himself are also amazing. I never thought I would have so much in common with an A lister. When he described loving old beat up things and seeing the patina and beauty in age. Ugh. I felt that. I'm the type of person that can fall in love with a pair of old cracked glasses from my great grandmother. To see him smile at the beauty of light shining on an old chair was cool.

I wish I could personally thank him for the show. This review will have to do it for me. I can't wait for season two. Good job J. Damned good job man.
