Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father

I loved the first two seasons were amazing, they felt really endearing and real. Their father and son grew their relationship, it felt like something I would love to do with my father. They have a great back and forth, with the son not understanding the father, and the father being stuck in his ways. They had something of a real competition between them on who could find what the other would enjoy. It felt like a real thing between them. The third season feels completely fabricated and scripted. You can literally see where they edited out the moments the other missed the line. There's some great lines in the third season, but the charm of it is gone. I'm not expecting it to ever bring back the magic of the first two seasons.

I've seen some reviews stating it is 'painfully obvious' that the show is scripted. Lol thanks for that captain obvious! If people do not like this I can only assume they are lacking in a sense of humour. I however, have laughed out loud numerous times. Maybe I just appreciate the dry British humour that I have always loved. Fantastic show.

This show is amazing, so funny! Dad has such amazing personality!! I know most of it is scripted, but it doesn't matter! Still so funny! But I need more than 2 episodes!!!!

Don't pay attention to the bad reviews. I loved Travels With My Father. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. So what if some of it may have been scripted. Each episode made me laugh out loud. I loved the dynamics between Jack and his dad. The places they visited were gorgeous, at times hilarious, interesting, and tragic. The last scene of the last episode actually brought tears to my eyes. Jack and his dad really love each other. I really hope there are more seasons to come.

Watched all six episodes in one day, having never been hugely familiar with Jack and Michael Whitehall prior. Liked the series for a number of reasons, not least that in the main, it avoided going to many of the obvious tourist attractions. It was well filmed too. The banter and relationship between father and soon, was initially highly amusing, though last some of its sharpness as the series progressed, before delivering some quite serious and touching messages at the end. Parts were clearly quite heavily staged and we could have easily done without the rather sorry driving lesson towards the end of the series, which was all too obviously planned for effect. Far more entertaining and informed than the vast majority of so called reality series, that proliferate our screens today.
