Watched the previews on Youtube looks like it'll be a good watch.

I've watched two episodes. It's brilliant.

2 episodes in aswell, it seems good fun and it didn't shy away from the reality's of farming livestock! So far so good!
I went to a agricultural college with a few farmers and can say Kaleb is not as unique as he might seem, those guys really would notice/discuss what he was pointing out with his enthusiasm! a strange bunch

Watched the first two episodes, really like it so far. Kaleb reminds me of Todd from Breaking Bad.

He's had his farm for a while hasn't he? I'll definitely give this a watch
Watched first episode.
I like it as I've always found Jeremy very funny and watchable and it's basically Top Gear farm in terms of humour etc.
However I didn't like the faux worrying over the money it cost and the profit lost by rain/bugs attacking crops etc. We know full well Clarkson is worth a fortune, and the owner of Amazon even more so
.
I get that they are trying to highlight how hard farming is, but I just am not that keen seeing Jeremy get shocked or stressed out about the monetary aspect of it (as if he is actually going to lose any money).

I'm certain he does care about the money. Every rich person I know all care about money more than poorer people, that's how you get rich and stay rich.Watched first episode.

Possibly, but is he actually losing it himself, or is the bill footed by Amazon....
I get that he has to act this way for the drama of the show, but for me it is just slightly in bad taste. He has an estimated net worth of 50 million.
I expect he is paid by amazon for the TV show, the actual farming costs will be his burden. I also expect his amazon pay is far above any losses on the farm.
Agree with this, say Amazon paid him 5m for the series, it's still in his best interest to make a profit with the farm, but he also has to make it fun and entertaining so can obviously settle for a certain profit or break even.

He also seems to be quite a competitive guy so I imagine he wants to succeed.

Watched the first 30 minutes and excellent so far.
Even in that 30 minutes saw so much I never knew such as every field having it's own name.

It's great that it's entertainment and also interesting.

The guardian hate it, it's gonna be great
I said the same thing when my missus told me about the grauniad review
Will try and get an episode in this evening.Yeh, I feel like I'm learning a lot about farming!
