Great adventure!

This may be my favorite episode in the series so far. Well-crafted and interesting journey by a common English bloke across America. It illuminated different cultures of America brilliantly.

After all the previous adventures this seems rather tame at first, and jarringly familiar to me as an American. To previously have had so many other cultures and adventures portrayed through Karl, Ricky and Steve's perspectives, I was curious to see how my part of the world was experienced and portrayed.

This episode exceeded my expectations and offered me a new and particularly interesting perspective on a country I felt I knew so well. But then I'm an American who would drive the freeway instead of Route 66 and not arrange to meet such interesting people along the way. More's the pity.

Interesting portrait of America. A bit jarring after seeing places I'd never been to see my own country portrayed. Made me realize how good the whole series really is. That was already clear of course, but this one hit home.

You'll be in stitches by end of this one. Those boys know how to have a laugh.

Thank you to everyone working on this excellent episode and series. Hope to see more!
