The Great Escapists, Richard Hammond (Amazon Prime)
Have you seen this?? Wow.. talk about a show that doesn't know what it's supposed to be! Or at least I don't know what it's supposed to be. Richard and Tory (from myth busters) shipwrecked on a tropical island. Not a reality show, not really a pseudo documentary, occasional hints at a "science" show. We know these things aren't real, but there isn't even the slightest attempt to make you think it is. Trying to be a sit-com? Is it made for children? I'm really puzzled by it, there was a lot of work put into this... mess.

Seemed like Junkyard Wars meets Gilligan's island to me.
Fun to see the science at work, but that was about it.

Made me miss the rest of the peeps from Top Gear and Mythbusters. Especially Grant. Frown
