When you find your self rewinding the show so you don't miss any details, you know you've found a great show. Sardonic to no end, Richard Ayoade will not spare his feelings to the camera or the locals, good or bad. LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY, even if half of the references are lost on me because I'm not British.
AND THE OUTFITS! Richard can be seen wearing yellow pants, a yellow chore jacket, and a blue neck tie like it's no big deal. Shout out to the stylist.

As an American, I apologize if anyone from Britain sees this and is offended. I was introduced to this show on the Samsung TV Plus app on a channel called Journy. The first time I turned it on, I almost turned it off because I couldn't understand a lot of what was being said through the accent, mostly because I was doing other things and every time I looked up, they were at a restaurant or bar and it seemed boring.
When I finally paid attention, it was one of the most hilarious shows I've seen. Just two people wandering an unfamiliar city with only 48 hours to do it and Richard has such a sarcastic and witty (though some times dry) delivery, it makes the whole show. I still can't understand some of what is being said between the accent and some times Richard isn't loud enough, but at least twice an episode, he says something that makes me laugh hard enough for so long, I miss some of the next part. Luckily, I saw on Tubi (which is free), that they currently have seasons 1-8 (except season 3, which is a shame, because I want to see what he says about NYC, which was that season - and all I got to see are his hilarious comments to trying his first cro-nut) and a few specials that are basically longer episodes.
I thought maybe it stopped at Season 8 due to COVID and travel restrictions, but I see there are 10 seasons and Richard chose not to be part of it any more and the ratings went down. Understandable, since he really was the show and I cannot see it being done with anyone else. My only complaint is that due to the 48 hour limit, it seems a bit rushed at times (and I am guessing that is why it seems like 1/3 of the places they go in some episodes are bars or restaurants), and it's surprising where they don't go when they are in a city with a big attraction, though that would probably take a full day. I wish they went to some cities and took 3-5 days to see his take on things we've all seen, because I know he'd have some funny things to say.

As a lover of travel shows... this is fresh, new and full of fun.. love it!!
The sexy and incredibly charming Richard Ayoade does it again! His unique take on a travel show manages to make you laugh out loud while appreciating the classic beauty of the (mainly European) cities shown. He brings one famous person along in each episode and it's just a good time all around! His deadpan sense of humor, rich quirky vocabulary and over all unmistakable charm make for a very entertaining travel show. Comedy and travel....what more can you ask for? I hope it gets many more seasons because watching it is a blast! (and frankly because i just can't get enough of this witty, funny, charming and sexy man) Best episodes are the Paris, Budapest, Florence and Vienna one! A must-see for travel show addicts like myself!
Dancing? What's it for?
/me gives Richard an awkward high five that doesn't quite connect properly.
Needs another season! The diversity of people he manages to convince to come along with him to these places is brilliant. One of my favourite episodes was probably the Paul Rudd one, genuine wtf moment.
