The Joy of Techs (2017) User Reviews

Great fun

This show was perfect for us to watch as a family. It's not particularly techie, just a massive piss-take. A highlight being the inflatable helmet. Another series?

Fun tech review series with a touch of the grand tour.

Marcus Brigstock's comic pessimistic attitude towards tech contrasts well with Alex Conran's enthusiasm for technology and the believe that it will benefit Marcus' life. In each episode, the tech reviewed is relevant to a certain environment (the home, camping etc.), where these two close friends will debate whether the tech Alex has brought with him actually improves a person's life in that context, or that the tech is a total waste of time. The antics and comments will make you laugh out loud, as they trick each in a constant tit-for-tat that both men conduct throughout the series.

While the tech on show isn't actually all new; a number of these items have been reviewed in other shows, it is still entertaining to watch. Marcus Brigstock and Alex Conran are funny and they have a great chemistry on screen. Like Top Gear of Grand tour, both of which are entertainment rather than real consumer advice shows, 'Joy of Techs' is also in the same genre. If you want entertaining, then give it a watch. You will find it funny.

Love the high tech vs low tech plus comedy format

Just watched the whole series on Netflix. My daughter and I loved it. It wasn't always pro tech, but a realistic look at how some things could be done better, and some just couldn't. (you can't replace a sheep herding dog with a drone)
