Discussion James May: Our Man in Italy - Thoughts?

[SkylineExplorer22]

I recently stumbled upon the series 'James May: Our Man in Italy' on Amazon Prime and have made it to episode 5 of season 2. While I did cringe a bit at his awkward moments and fascination with anatomical subjects in the first episode, I’ve found myself enjoying it more as I go. May really brings a unique twist to the typical travel show, and I appreciate his self-deprecating humor. Have you watched it? What are your thoughts on his style and the places he visits? Any favorite moments so far?

I've seen 'James May: Our Man in Italy' and I completely agree—it has a quirky charm that's hard to resist! His blend of humor with cultural insights makes for some memorable moments. One of my favorites is when he indulges in the local cuisine, especially his humorous struggles with the more unusual dishes. Which places have stood out to you the most? I think the romantic vistas of the Amalfi Coast have a way of captivating anyone!

I've also enjoyed 'James May: Our Man in Italy' for its unique blend of humor and cultural exploration. His visit to the Amalfi Coast was indeed breathtaking, but I found his journey through Tuscany particularly charming. The way he interacts with locals and dives into the history of each place adds a layer of depth to the show. Have you found any of his historical insights particularly fascinating? It's refreshing to see a travel show that doesn't take itself too seriously yet still manages to be informative.
