Clarkson's Farm (2021)

Watchseries; But wasn't.

I was afraid that it would just be Jeremy being Jeremy and we'd watch him blundering around for the entire series. After an episode I was afraid I was right.

But his learning curb was steep and it turned into a witty but REAL experience. Great supporting on camera crew. Especially Kaleb Cooper. A 20 year old who had never left chippy forging a believable friendship with a 60 year old. Well done everyone involved.

Clarkson's Farm watchseries. Farming is difficult, is a torture and if there isn't any govt. Aid, you'd be stuck in a debt trap and resort to suicide that happens so often in India. Very few lucky next generation people like me were able to get a college education is able to come out of this vicious cycle because your previous generation sacrificing so much by dealing with all the beauracracy and politics.

This show while takes a humourous approach with focus on Jeremy who is undeniably one of the best presenters ever, does give a lot of deep insights as to how much exactly goes into farming and if it weren't for govt. Grants and farming at scale, you'd no longer have anyone doing farming because it's such a thankless job though it is the most important job of all jobs in the entire world if we nees to put food on everyone's plates.

This is some of the best, most meaningful programming Jeremy Clarkson has ever done. He decides to purchase and run a large farm, and gets right in there trying to be a helping hand. He introduces us to cool farming machinery, including his Lambo tractor - yet at the same time, Clarkson takes on the responsibility of not only growing corps, and employing workers during COVID, but Clarkson also grows food to feed the community, opens a local food market and raises farm animals that he cares for and protects. His wife Lisa is charming, and Jeremy's sidekicks are genuine, and hard-working. Very impressed !!!

Had to leave a review as this means a lot to me.

I worked on a farm for 2 years and grew up in fields helping farmers. I really like the idea of having it as a show. It's funny but also has sadness but it's a good reality check for people who don't know much about the work and lifestyle. I would recommend watching this with kids because there's good life lessons in it that everyone can't experience. It also shows also how much we owe our farmers bringing us all this good food and what they go through. Great idea of a show. Clarkson you punching way aboth your weight with your missus mate but she seems lovely, hope you're happy:). Thank you and your team for bringing us this.

... and very educational too. I would like to do this review in the words of Gerald:

Well yer fers bern woi yud dono Mr Clarkson might go fgrann wur driafd fernwoull down yare then sheep woll Minh until wersit daerna eh.

Thank you Gerald.

Absolutely love the show. Clarkson's humor is of-course epic. But this show actually shows what utter hard labor it is to produce the food we eat and how much annoying bureaucratic nonsense farmers have to jump through because politicians that know diddly-squat about farming introduced it based on advice from some hippies.

And you really can see that Clarkson wasn't just doing shots on camera and then going off and doing nothing, he actually worked his behind off.

Respect.
