Having read the book and enjoyed our two tours of Scotland, I was really looking forward to this series. The first four episodes have been entertaining and I'm enjoying the banter between the two even if it seems a bit forced and scripted sometimes. The specific sequences focusing on food, the distillery, music, and the "supernatural" were informative and influence me to want to go back to Scotland yet again.
However, I'm finding the presentation in general to be too rushed and superficial. Each episode should really be an hour long and go into more depth, particularly with regard to the locale of each of the sequences. Given how wonderful the cities and landscapes of Scotland are, it would have been much more fulfilling if, for example, they spent time exploring more of Edinburgh in depth in the episodes in which they visit the city for food tasting and visiting the Greyfriars cemetery.
I will continue to watch the remaining episodes, and encourage anyone who has not visited Scotland to do the same, but I am hoping that they will spend more time exploring and showcasing the amazing scenery and landscapes of Scotland to the same extent that they focus on the culture and the cute banter between the two.
