I must state that my favorites documentaries in order is LWR and LWD. It's a series that actually impacted my life it ended up with north of 800k miles on generations of R1100 and 1200GSes. Simply put my life would have been different. The same impact as Ted Simon had on Charley and Ewan.
I really wanted to love this season, I've been waiting for it, I needed it!
But once I've watched 9/10 of the episodes it never hooked me it's like food without salt. You watch it but you don't crave it. What's missing is the humans the remoteness the struggle and not the least the roughness in the way it's visualized. I cannot connect to this season. I guess it's become.very "Hollywood" and orchestrated. There's to much technology that's get in way of the journey. And this is not the way Ted Simons intended it with ".. the interruptions makes the journey". It feels here that technology gets in the way of the journey, cultures and people. To many cities and hotels. Finally the inner stress in both Charley and Ewan. They do not feel so excited anymore.
I'm sorry I never write these reviews. But this series is too close to my heart.
