Road To a Million - Episode #1 - Review (Feat: Fleming Never Dies)

[@bond-suits]

The review I've been waiting for. The only reason to watch it is David Arnold's music, but that's a compelling reason.

Thanks Matt, I've not gone back to watch any other episodes. Tosca is not for everyone and all that

Thanks Danny boy

Thomas looks extremely respectable. I feel like I should vote for him or something. Thanks so much for this review. I was totally unexcited about this show, and it sounds like you both felt the same - although your nuanced desperation in finding the positive about it is commendable.

I'll vote for Thomas, I'll vote him best dressed on this video.

[@There_Will_Be_Bond]

I'm totally voting for Thomas, don't even tell me what the award is!

[@yestoadventure007]

I appreciate the honest appraisal. I have not seen it yet but like most reality shows it seems like an enjoyable waist of time... I'm sure I'll enjoy the locations.

[@There_Will_Be_Bond]

I still haven't watched subsequent episodes, but reality tele is not my thing

Thanks for watching this gents so I don’t have to! Looking good Thomas. I have zero interest in this. Babs stop wasting your time and find a Bond. Only positive has to be an Arnold score.

I got through the 1st episode and I had to turn it off. My god it was boring! I kept asking myself, if they didn't slap the 007 logo on this would I watch it and the answer was a resounding no. The people were not that interesting, the challenges were not that challenging and the questions had NOTHING to with James Bond. All the while dangling a vulgar pile of money in front of them. Plus the concept was so lazy, with only barest of fan service in guise of a few props and some Bond music. It's like someone making merch with no knowledge of the source material. Like a cheep Chinese knockoff T Shirt that says Gold Fingers, Dr Know, For Love with Russia or Moonfaker. Kailei and I kept thinking up so many better ideas than the hackneyed production this show created. They could have put the contestants through actual CIA/MI6 spy games, have actual Bond trivia questions that relate to the locations they're in, put them in scenarios directly from the films. They had great production value, great photography all waisted on a pointless and crass money grab. Which is ironic since this show was a pointless and crass money grab. Honestly as a Bond fan I found it a bit insulting to Bond fans and kept asking why am watching this drivel? Sorry if anyone out there enjoyed it, it is just my opinion and I unfortunately did not.

Thanks for that - I have said maybe in this video that there is very little in it for Bond fans. And I’m not sure how it introduces a new audience to Bond, unless they just want to revel in the music and the locations. For my money it doesn’t really work. But surely , in Leiu of a film, they have to placate Amazon somehow ?
