Kindness Diaries (2017–2019)
4/10
Scripted Sweetness
14 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I must admit I only got through 3 episodes of this series before my saccharine level became too high. Idea of the series. Rich dude on funky yellow motorcycle goes around the world with"no money" relying on the kindness of strangers and is then filmed giving some of them fabulous presents.

This whole show feels very scripted and not spontaneous. First of all, the very wealthy Legothetis (net worth 14 million dollars) is not travelling around by himself. Clearly he had a camera crew with him and is making a movie. So he's not just some random poor stranger asking for a bed and some food. That takes away the whole premise of the show, and his idea. Secondly, shouldn't acts of kindness be done quietly and in private? In each episode he gives one of these Good Samaritans a big gift and films their tears of gratitude. Ugh.

Yes, some people are kind and some are not. Do we need to watch 10 hours of tv to learn this?
