The Americas with Simon Reeves

[SwingoutSisterSledge]

Simon is in Alaska . Absolutely stunning. The Auras are breathtakingly beautiful.

So interesting

Amazing, and so sad re global warming.
Any climate change deniers need to watch this, but I’m afraid he’s preaching to the converted.

That was very interesting and sad for many reasons - wildlife, how harsh the winters are, the indigenous communities struggling to live in a 21C world, women going missing with no investigations as to why, then Vancouver - a city with 2 tales. My views of Canada have changed since a last travelled there c 20 years ago, feel depressed.

It was very interesting

I really enjoyed it. He's a very good, empathetic presenter. But what he was showing was so shocking - the glaciers, the impact of the oil industry on environment and society, the missing women and girls and the drug use. Interesting and worrying in equal measure.
I will definitely watch the next parts.

Easy on the eye too. Ahem.

Ooh. I missed this. Was it on today?

Yes

Yes very easy on the eye

Hrs not too shabby I’ll admit!!

Loved this, it was so interesting.

Really interesting and eye opening.

I went to his theatre show last year - absolutely brilliant. I had no idea he'd had such a interesting life.

He is an excellent presenter and not afraid to face difficult situations. It did get a bit preachy though.

it was really interesting . Canada shocked me. that poor son. his mother goes missing and the police didn't even speak to him.

I love his shows, he has a good way with people. He has had an interesting life, really started at the bottom.

Was anyone struck by the hypocrisy of discussing global warming while flying a film crew to the area.

I cannot understand why the son wasn't interviewed by the police? Also a shame it did not go any further - questioning others and also trying to get the police to talk about it (but we know they wouldn't!).

I loved his book.

It was really good.

I have always loved Simon Reeve's documentaries and have seen his live show but whilst I enjoyed the scenery and found some of it shocking I agree with Ginfordinner that it was getting a bit preachy , Simon did seem to spend a lot of time telling us how bad climate change is - from a nasty , polluting plane .

I found the second episode just aired better than the first. Less preachy. I want to go to Montana now.
