side roads

Actress Joanna Lumley decides to follow the Silk Road starting in Venice and finishing near the Chinese border. She can be too obsessed with shopping but it does lead to some interesting side roads. It's the type of group level travelog that is sometimes more fascinating than the big monuments or famous locations. By contrast, she gives us a heavy bread that lasts years, and K-pop fans in central Asia. It's a four episode trip. Joanna is refused filming in China which was probably meant to add an episode or two to the series. All in all, this is a light fun side trip down a famous road slightly different from other travel shows.

Never fails to impress

What a great travel guide J Lumley is. She has a plomb about her but still makes wonderful contacts with people wherever she travels. Pity the Chinese would not let her complete the journey as she really is a peacemaker who could have helped reduce divisions between China & the West. But what she travels of the Silk Road is fantastic & makes learning history so interesting & attractive. Now I want to travel! But alas lockdowns continue! After watching this, I discovered 'Race across the world' traversing some similar locales :-)

Nice TV

A lovely tv program and wonderfully presented by Joanna. I have enjoyed all of her travel programs that are currently on Netflix.

Must-see series

It's impossible not to fall in love with Joanna Lumley. And even if you were already smitten, this series will make you fall in love with her all over again. This is a hugely informative, smart, witty and epic series that despite its scope retains a warmth and purpose thanks to Joanna that invites ordinary people to share what makes each country magical, without glossing over some of their challenges. Really an uplifting experience. 4 action packed and cinematic episodes - I just wish it was 8. She has achieved so much in so many genres already, but I hope for more adventures with Joanna. This is her best adventure yet. I learned a lot and laughed out loud often. Thanks mate.

Fantastic Series

I absolutely love this Series, very Educational in terms of where the Silk Road really went, and how the Countries that it passed are now. Also a lot of Strange, Exotic, Majestic Landscapes / Architecture / Culture.

Travel is always an Adventure and it is the best kind of Adventure there is. There are some slow spots for me personally like when they talked about Rugs, Poetry, etc., but fortunately there aren't that many.

Overall a Must See Series for me.
