A cool show. Equally inspiring and off-putting to try it for yourself. Awesome scenery and challenging terrain. The guys putting themselves out into some isolated areas and with a combination of run, boat, ride and survive, as they move from A to B. There is no doubt that these guys are serious athletes and have what it takes to make it to the finish. Although it is good to see that sometimes circumstances put up challenges and force changes of plan. I hope that the show continues, but are there enough scenarios to play out before it becomes familiar to watch? For sure, the guys actually doing it are funding their wild adventures with the show... and more power to them. Genuinely entertaining, a good mix of characters and fun to watch the post feed sugar rushes and end of day (lack of) sugar crashes. Guys, if you are reading... keep up the great shows.

To me, it seemed to be a soft remake of 'tomorrow never dies'. Too much and too obvious product placement. Cars, phones, watches, computers... all there on obvious, lingering display for us public to consume.

Craig's 4th outing has moved Bond back towards the farce of earlier Bond's and not maintained the rawness of his original appearance. The decline has not been a sudden one, each outing has been slightly more disappointing and less exciting. Big explosions do not a great movie make... Casino Royale was a fantastic new beginning for Bond. Spectre seems tired and clichéd.

Shame
