Review of On the Roam

On the Roam (2024– )
8/10
Mandatory Watching for All Motorcycle Enthusiasts
19 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Sure, the series' approach might be a bit fluffy, but a 1927 HD-JD with only 800 orig mi in the first episode? Yes, it's real, and so are all the characters within.

Passion, in my very limited opinion, is always worth watching, and Mamoa & Co are definitely passionate about what is onscreen. The content thus translates as authentic, regardless of one's opinion on motorcycles, as the creators have chosen to let "the Art" speak for itself. If you previously struggled to find artistic merit in machines such as vintage motorcycles, these "artists" will likely change your mind,

And if you are a fan of roaming, this show will satisfy on a deeper, less tangible and wholly visceral level: it is visually lush, historically informative and infused with an aspect of Mamoa's personality that charms and entertains, at the very least.

Highly recommend.
