El mundo en moto: Vuelta a casa

The ferry they take and they arrive on is not the same one - how can you do an edit like that? Too many fast cuts and not enough insights. I've travelled the same roads by motorbike as well and there is sooooo much to explore and it seems the guys just skip 80% of the interesting locations :(

I've been a big fan of Long Way series and Long Way Round even inspired me to get my motorcycle license. Probably they should just release it on YouTube with more content?

Really looking forward to the next episodes, but so far the first 5 episodes are just too fast. Svalbard was cool though. Hope to travel there as well one time.

"Long Way 'Round" was something special. Every version since gave in to the cynicism of reality TV. Manufactured drama, manipulative editing, and corny acting have made this show unwatchable. I was hoping that Alex and the other producer would sit this one out, but nope. They detract so much from the authenticity of the adventure. Just really unlikeable guys. This show will definitely appeal to the sports of people who like "Duck Dynasty" or the other reality shows of that ilk. It's just such a bummer that simply documenting Charley and Ewan on a moto trip couldn't be enough. Whatever the first season had, this one doesn't.

Noticeably more mellow and less "adventurous" than the previous three series, but that's a result of both being in Europe and the fact that the guys are now 20 years older than when they did Long Way Round. You can't have quite so wild, rugged, off the beaten track adventures in Europe as you can in Siberia.

Regardless, this is still a very enjoyable series. Easy, stress-free viewing that, for 45 minutes, allows you to forget all the nonsense in the world and instead focus on the best things in life; beautiful landscapes, cities, meeting wonderful people and spending good times with friends. What could be wrong with that?

I stumbled on Long Way Home on Memorial Day weekend. Lucky for me the weather was awful because as soon as I watched the 4 available episodes I immediately started watching Long Way Round, Long Way Down and LongWay Up. I love Ewan and Charlie's friendship. I just love everything about where they went, who they met, UNICEF, and their relationship with the crew members. It's a great show that really is a snapshot in time of what was happening globally. The real issues of traveling globally, seeing into their lives and culture. How amazing people can be to help out these 2 crazy guys when they get stuck. I hope we can get at least one more season?!?!? Pretty please?

I've only watched episodes 1 & 2, so I can't comment on the whole series as yet. From what I've seen so far, the show looks interesting & entertaining. I'm particularly interested in this for ideas to tour around Europe, seeing as I'm based on said continent.

Where I think this show will suffer is with comparisons to Long Way Round / Down. If you're looking for that kind of adventure travel show, then this series will not scratch that itch. That isn't to say that this series doesn't look good, because it does. But this is road bikes touring interesting places in Europe, not big off roaders touring the middle of nowhere. For that I'm pleased. It makes travelling to the places in this series much more accessible to most people and that definitely gives another dimension to the viewing, in that you can make a note of destinations and start planning your own trip, should you be a bike rider longing for travel, like myself.

Is this series as breakthrough and cutting edge as Long Way Round? No, but that was 20 years ago. That series was truly a thing of beauty, excitement & wonder and we should count ourselves lucky to have been witness to it all via the tech available at the time. It still holds up incredibly well today as it did 20 years ago and is a highly re-watchable show. But we all need to move on from expecting that again because 1) they've done that b) the world is a vastly difference place and c) everybody's older and slightly more bust-up from years of living & riding.

Does this have the same charm, entertainment, spirit & ethos as the previous 3 series? Absolutely. If you enjoy watching Charley, Ewan, Claudio, Dave, Russ & co doing their thing, then you'll not be disappointed.

8 out of 10 stars based on the first 2 episodes. Fingers crossed that the score keeps going up from there.

P. S.

Would be awesome to see the crew doing a similar thing to this across East & Southeast Asia. It'd still be road based, but with more an adventure feel. Fingers crossed! Either way, it's great to see the crew back together, keep them coming!
