Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father watchseries. Do you have someone in your life who does not want to do anything outside of their comfort zone? If so, imagine that person's qualities quantified by ten and you have Michael "Daddy" Whitehall.

Jack Whitehall, British comedian and actor, travels with his father across the world, but they are very different human beings. Jack loves to party, laugh and is very immature while Michael is proper, dignified and horrified at anything slightly foreign. Michael is not too proper though, he loves to cuss and it is so hilarious to watch someone so old and pessimistic curse with such vile in their voice.

Michael has so many eccentric qualities: he loves Churchill with a passion, loves strange articles of clothing and seems completely unaware of his close-minded views of others. Jack constantly calls attention to these traits and it is outrageously funny to see their bickering. Michael is easily the greatest part of the show; his son Jack is far too annoying and he tries to be overly comedic.

While Jack is very annoying and almost hard to watch at times, the show gives most of the attention to Michael and their travels. I love to travel and learn; this is what this show accomplishes best. They go to interesting locales, specifically in the first two seasons that I have never heard of.

The quality of the series begins to decline when the format changes from 5-6 30 min episodes to 2 1 hour episodes per season. The earlier seasons were shot over a longer duration of time, but the last two were not and I did not feel as if Michael's heart was truly involved as he is a few years older. The show is still quite hilarious (Michael still makes fun of Jack's endowment), but I do not think any future season can quite capture the magic of the earlier ones.

I still highly recommend the show! I was belly laughing from some of the jokes! Please watch the show and I assure you it will be worth your time!!!

First season and even parts of the second series is very funny. Then... unfortunately, it became more forced. I haven't bothered finishing the fourth series because it is more obviously scripted and trying too hard.

I just finished watching season 1 and 3. This is really very funny. and Micheal is the cutest. I wish I could travel like that with my family or have even half as much as fun as these two have while I'm travelling with them. You, Jack, are actually very lucky to have such a cool father with you, as young and hearty as ever.

I like how different this show is, how weird the travels are. I mean these guys do the things I'd never do while travelling to the places they travelled to. But then it's not about travelling. It's about bonding, isn't it? I wonder the last time I did something for 5 straight weeks just to bond with somebody.

What more can you say than, "Whitehall, you've done it again". Yet another hysterical masterpiece. Would recommend.

This is a television show, off course it is scripted. Jack and his Daddy are not aimlessly wandering around South East Asia. The episodes are all planned as are many of the reactions to things they encounter. However they have still managed to produce an extremely funny and entertaining show. Michael portrays a character who comes from a bygone generation, who displays the good old British, "stiff upper lip" and has an air of superiority to others around him. I suspect this is not who he really is. Hopefully there will be a second series.
