Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father (2017–2021)

First two seasons are great. Third season is crap

[7/10 · 7 September 2019]

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.
