They’re not wrong.

There’s a lot of other shows we would all rather have.

Even the reasonable comments admit that it’s just a material filler show.

Can we not be so conceited?

Is it really that rage inducing that someone can call out a subpar show that somehow hasn’t been canceled?

Phil even hints multiple times that his brother has connections and that’s the only reason the show took off in the first place.

Otherwise it might never had been.

And Phil is a rich dude, the whole basis of the show is kind of out of touch with the times.

Dudes just traveling around blowing thousands of dollars so we can watch him eat food we will never be able to afford to travel and eat.

It’s just another form of wealth showcasing.

How many people do you know who could just go out and do what Phil does as a life hobby?

He’s retired and he’s not even senior yet.

It’s not really subpar if people enjoy watching it, not everyone shares your opinion about what “we’d all rather have” and some of us like a casual warm show of a guy eating food.

It’s also probably cheap as hell to produce.

Dudes got a whole camera crew are you high?

If they are paying livable wages it should be in the ballpark of $200k budget.

At least…….

Equipment, lodging, plane tickets, passports, guides, FOOD…..? Oh yeah and wages?

Can we have Sense8 or Daredevil back?

Show is subpar, to say the least.

I mean, yeah, not saying you can make it with a couple bucks but still like probably 1/10th of the budget for a show like Sense8, which guess what, people didn’t watch and couldn’t justify its budget.

Actually 2% the budget if $200k is the accurate number

Uh.. so if you google, Sense8 cost $9 million per episode. So if you calculate the cost per view.. yea

Phil was the executive producer/writer for Everybody Loves Raymond. He has his plenty of his own connections.

If I had, would that change the fact that this is cheap reality programming? Or that better shows on Netflix have been canceled?

It’s not about better or worse, it’s about how many people are watching it. Cheaper shows will get renewed easier because they would need less views for Netflix to consider them as successful.

How do you know what shows are "better" than something you've never seen?
