Long Way Up: Oaxaca to L.A. (2020)
Completely pointless
I don't even understand why they travelled to Mexico? To act like timid little house mice who are afraid to be in the country? Way to dispel negative stereotypes guys...
The whole bus nonsense really ruined the vibe of the whole series. I mean I can maybe forgive the countless workarounds (eg. Cheats) that were used with the electric bikes, like running a diesel generator to charge them (So green right...) but sticking the bikes on a tour bus so that someone else can drive you to your destination? How is that a motorcycle trip? Extremely disappointing.
If anyone wants to see a real motorcycle journey through Mexico, I recommend the youtube channel "Itchy boots".
There you will find a woman travelling by herself through the back roads of Mexico from south to north, all the while interacting with locals and learning about the culture. She also never shows any fear travelling through these areas. Charlie and Ewan could learn a thing or two from her.
