Ewan McGregor and his buddy Charlie Boorman conspire to take a motorcycle trip around the planet. Well, London to New York -- through Europe, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Canada, U.S. This is an 11 episode series, and probably 6 of them are really good. The introductory stuff is boring but necessary, Europe is unnecessary. Asia is fascinating, both in terms of scenery and in terms of travelogue. U.S./Canada unnecessary. But of course, you can't just skip most of the way around for the fun parts. The two travelers have a chemistry and innocence and sense of wonder at what they are doing to make this really fun to watch. Well done.
5 stars (out of 5)
also watch Long Way Down (London to Cape Town) and I've heard Long Way Up (Patagonia to Canada) is now filming.
