La fattoria Clarkson

Think about this. There are no specially built sets, no actors, no extras, no special effects, no CGI, no green screen, no costumes, no make-up, nothing. Some of it is even filmed on a mobile phone ! This is the genius of Clarkson, he's created the highest rated show in the history of Amazon. Out of basically nothing. Incredible.

Great show with that classic type of entertainment this man has gifted the world with for all these years.

Thanks to Amazon for giving us an additional dose of Jezza.

The show stays close to its roots in 'top gear' and 'grand tour'. The humor and overall culture, that difines the feel of top gear, is presented in it's best form. Biggest difference here is that there are far less pranks. Although the humor is still mostly the usual what you would expect from Clarkson. But the show does take itself a little more serious. And I would say it turned out great.

Only critism is that the forced 'drama' and provoked overreactions are still present, and tend to be a bit eyerolling from time to time. But these moments aren't common, and the show overall is just really enjoyable. And no episode felt like filler. Each one felt interesting with great pacing and structure.

Honestly, if you even remorely like 'top gear' or 'grand tour' this is right up your alley. And if you haven't watched those shows, I would reccomend watching this show first, since it tends to be a bit more serious and grounded.

9/10: yes, please more.

But wasn't.

I was afraid that it would just be Jeremy being Jeremy and we'd watch him blundering around for the entire series. After an episode I was afraid I was right.

But his learning curb was steep and it turned into a witty but REAL experience. Great supporting on camera crew. Especially Kaleb Cooper. A 20 year old who had never left chippy forging a believable friendship with a 60 year old. Well done everyone involved.

For some reason Clarkson gets a lot of hate from social media , when in all honesty, the man is quite simply brilliant, thoroughly entertaining series , watched all 8 ep in one sitting , please don't go back to London, we all want a series 2 then 3 and so on until you hand the farm to kaleb and I'll no doubt watch him too 👍
