An interesting spin on the Amazing Race
As a huge James Bond fan, I loved the little subtleties in the show (going to Jamaica and staying at Goldeneye, for instance), as well as a lot of good trivia questions. The global travel is shot amazingly well. Brian Cox does a great job as the host/puppet master.
The contestants all have their own human interest angles. There are the brothers, coworkers, father/son, husband/wife pairs. The puzzles aren't terribly challenging but it's edited pretty tightly. It's a fun, lighthearted challenge reality show.
They do try to bring some Bond locations and such in but it could be heavier in that category. Great score flourishes musically as well.
