Season 2 has dropped. "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

Excited. Enjoyed S1 & hope Amazon doesn't give him his walking papers, as is rumored, once this & The Grand Tour's next episode(s) are finished. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Feb 10, TODAY! Looking forward to seeing the insanity of governmental busy-bodies dictating what people can do and can't on their own property. | |||

Probably on a trip |
I watched all of season 2 last night. Very well done, even funnier than the first. A lot of emotion and frustration. My sister lives in the UK and after watching Clarkson it just reinforces why I constantly tell her I could never live there. And I also hope Amazon does not cave to the woke mob and cancel Clarkson. I hope this show pulls in huge numbers. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

I really enjoy this show. Right now it's my get in bed and watch with my little dog snuggling. He likes the lambs  Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

My wife and I finished watching Season 2 last night. We both think this is the funniest, most entertaining, and most educational show one can watch. Among its other pluses (Top Gear-level cinematography for example), it demonstrates that farmers and those who work to support farming communities are decent, hard-working, intelligent people in a fight for their lives not just against natural calamitous events, but even more against stupid government regulation. It's not just national government either, but local people jealous of Clarkson's fame and success. Of course Clarkson often shows himself to be an arrogant prick, but he also allows himself to be shown as a "muppet" when it comes to all things farming. He keeps referring to cattle as "cows" including males. Clarkson and Kaleb clearly deserved their award for being the best ambassadors for the British agricultural industry. I am happy that this show is a huge success around the world (see end credits: versions dubbed in German, French, Spanish, I think Japanese, and Polish as I recall). _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

It's kinda hard to explain but this really is a fantastic show. But the presentation of the plight of the farmer and the red tape insanity, without ever going to full-blown pity is really well-done. It makes you appreciate the people without feeling sorry for them, knowing that they most likely would still choose to be a farmer everyday despite the challenges. And obviously, Jeremy is a great TV personality and has a distinct brand of humor. But his self-deprecation and the way he is able to be egotistical and at the same time let the light shine bright on the other people on the show is really great. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

My wife and I finished Season Two a few days ago. While much of it is funny, the illustrations of how horribly the government and "woke" politics are treating family farmers is extremely aggravating. Their ability to simply earn a living and provide products to consumers is clearly at risk by over-regulation and the heavy handed ability of bureaucrats to simply outspend those targeted is a threat to all of us. Jeremy isn't just funny, he's extremely informative. "I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken." | |||

I’ve really enjoyed it so far. Though way to close and personal with cows in one of the episodes. | |||

Good grief the red tape. Board needs to vote on whether or not you can make a gravel parking area on your legally owned land a 1/4 mile from the nearest road and not visible. They want you to dedicate 1/2 of your 1000 acre farm to support it. BS. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

Just about done with the season...I think s.2 is better than the first season. Obviously they figured how what topics and issues to highlight, continue to show farming's unique challenges but most importantly, the level of legal authorizations and bureaucratic obstacles that the UK has created for its citizens is remarkable. I know here in the US, there's a variety of farming regs on water collecting, how much animal waste can flow into water run-off and various other things most non-farmers hadn't even considered but, what s.2 is showing is pretty staggering. | |||

Midway through season 2. Great show. We’re watching the episode where badgers are a problem. I know how American ranchers handle ‘protected’ critters.

Started S2 finally. Laughed a bit when he said the shop was more popular than expected. 20 years of TG & TGT, I'm not surprised at all. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Good grief....just needs to admit he didn't turn-on the spell-check when he typed up his legal statement  Shit heads like this are going to run with their perceived grievance and the tabloids will fan the flames.
