I've definitely become more cynical since the first series.
But I can't help feeling that these tribes he 'encounters' are putting on a bit of a show. Kind of like when you turn up at a Hawaiian resort to be greeted by groups of totally authentic tribal Hawaiians dancing the Hula.
Something tells me a lot of these tribespeople are hanging around in Adidas tracksuits flicking through TikTok when the cameras aren't running, and the whole thing is just an excuse for Parry to get off his tits on frog poison and tree bark.
I'll probs still watch it, mind.

This one starts up with an insurance assessment, I guess to hook the folks who like the danger and drugs, and the general formula is quite familiar,
But he's older, seems calmer and more considered. I know he's been campaigning in his TV absence, and the message here is about the same stuff he's been working on in that time. I think the editing has improved, and they've not really gone for the drama so much this time. It's almost like he's changed from a single man to a parent (in the way he participates and communicates).
