McGregor oozes charisma while 'Boreman' whines


I liked the show for the most part. Would have liked it more if it weren't for Boorman. Never really cared for Ewan McGregor before watching this. Seems like a genuinely good guy all around. I always kind of thought that he'd be a bit smug in real life, but there wasn't even a glimmer of it as far as I could tell.

Charley Boorman came off as extremely spoiled. From the massive overreaction after learning that he would have to drive a BMW bike that was perfect for a trip like this to him moaning about having to camp as opposed to spending every night in a hotel. It just got really irritating after a while.

That said, there were some truly great moments. The whole segment in Mongolia was my favorite.

Cause I'd get sick of seeing a smug smiley face when I'm at the lowest points in me life

I didn't feel that way at all. They each had their ups and downs and under those extreme circumstances it would be impossible to be upbeat all the time.
