Best Travel Shows and Series

Best Travel Shows on Netflix

The following travel shows and series are available on Netflix only.

Ugly Delicious

Recommended by Stephanie from Explore More Clean Less

Ugly Delicious is a relatively new food focused travel show that follows celebrity chef David Chang, founder of Momofuku, as he explores both across the United States and internationally. The episodes are loose and casual, showing Chang investigating the history of different regional cuisines and food rivalries. His guests range widely including other chefs, writers, actors, and artists, but they tend to share similar air time to the restaurant owners and people off the street. The focus blurs between culture and personal, feeling like you’re the fly on a wall while interesting people who love food hang out and chat about it. There’s no way to watch it and not be itching to travel to a new region and try some of the foods they highlight!

Travels With My Father

Recommended by Lee from The Travel Scribes

From the moment they touchdown in Bangkok, Thailand and make their way to the famous Khao San Road, the Netflix series Travels with my Father  will capture your heart, and tickle your funny bone.

Chronicling the experiences of British father and son duo, Jack and Michael Whitehall, this laugh a minute series not only showcases some of the globe’s most famous destinations but features the offbeat, slightly sarcastic relationship between Jack, a 30-something comedian still longing for his backpacker days and Michael, his elderly ever-suffering dad. The drama (and the giggles) are mostly driven by the vastly different travel styles of the two: Jack, the singlet and loud shorts-wearing millennial who is most comfortable in questionable hostels and eating street food and Michael, a slightly uptight luxury traveller who insists on wearing his ‘Sunday best’ on the streets of Southeast Asia and checking into five star hotels.

The show, now in its third season, sees the unlikely pair traverse the globe with jaunts in South East Asia, Europe and, more recently, a tour of the USA. This is must-watch viewing for anyone who loves British comedy and travel, in each measure.

Somebody Feed Phil

Recommended by Amber from Food And Drink Destinations

From the creator of the hit comedy series, Everyone Loves Raymond, comes the Netflix food travel series, Somebody Feed Phil. Following the culinary journeys of Phil Rosenthal, Somebody Feed Phil presents food travel from the “average” travelers perspective. Phil is by no means a food professional like Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. Phil is an easy going family man who just happens to LOVE food. Over 2 seasons and 12 episodes, Phil with his mall crew, including his brother, travel to some of the best food destinations around the world. Phil’s childlike enthusiasm for each new destination, cuisine and culinary experience is priceless. His inquisitive nature and ability to connect with people makes Somebody Feed Phil a one of a kind culinary travel show. For those interested in traveling for food, Somebody Feed Phil attempts to alleviate the fear of trying the local food. It’s certainly worth watching. Netflix has also previously announced a season 3 with episodes scheduled to air sometime in 2020.

Dark Tourist

Recommended by Martha from Quirky Globetrotter

Nowadays, travel is often painted as an Instagrammable pastime. Yet, there is a surge of tourists who are looking for quite the opposite and want to see the not-so-glamorous parts of the world. We’re not talking off the beaten path. We’re talking more about what happens behind closed doors and what rumors try to speculate. The trend of traveling and diving into the taboo and unknown comes to life in the Netflix show, “ Dark Tourist .”

Whether it’s visiting radioactive nuclear sites or learning about gruesome assassinations, it’s the sense of forbiddenness or coveted secrets that these tourists ache for. Have you ever wondered why people are so enthralled by serial killer documentaries? The same thrill takes place in these destinations. (Don’t worry, there’s a Jeffrey Dahmer tour for you true crime aficionados.) Dark tourism profits off exposing the occult or veiled history of these locales.

Recommended by Laura from What’s Hot?

Our Planet is one of David Attenborough’s latest documentary series and was made directly for Netflix. Like all his other series, this one is beautifully shot, highly informative and well-loved by all the family. What sets One Planet apart from some of the others however is the focus upon how human life and global warming are destroying these natural havens. Attenborough takes us to some of the most beautiful and peaceful places on Earth before showing us the tragic consequences that have left other, similar areas barren wastelands.

Alternating between land and sea, you’ll go to the desert, the depths of the ocean, the jungles and the coast. This is an important one for avid travellers because it will jointly inspires us to travel more of the world’s secluded locations but also to do so in a way which doesn’t disturb our planet.

Emily in Paris

Recommended by Matilda

Emily in Paris is about a young American woman who lands a job in a Parisian marketing firm. The show was created by the same person as Sex and The City and has a similar vibe only instead of New York heavily features Paris. It is fun, somewhat campy and an easy watch. While I wouldn’t recommend it as an entirely accurate portrayal of French culture, the scenery is absolutely beautiful and reminds me why Paris is one of my all-time favorite cities.

Best Travel Shows on TV, Amazon Prime Video and Other Streaming Services

The following travel shows and series are available on TV, Amazon Prime Video and/or various streaming services (such as Hulu).

An Idiot Abroad

Recommended by Haley Plotkin, Ready Set Jet Set

An Idiot Abroad is a hysterical British travel docu-series following Karl Pilkington, a man that one could call an “idiot savant”. What everyone has to know about Karl is, he really does not like to travel. Knowing this, his friends Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who one may know as famous British comedic actors, send Karl on epic adventures all across the world, with some twists and pranks along the way. These are the kind of trips that most people would kill for, but to Karl, he’d rather be home with a cup of tea. One of the highlights of the show is the Karl-isms along the way, such as: “The Great Pyramid is overrated. It’s a bad design. The lounge is going to be huge, but the bedroom is going to be tiny.” This is really not your typical travel show, and that’s what makes it a must-watch!

Where to Watch: This show is a few years old, so it is not currently airing anywhere in the US (it was created for Sky TV in the UK). In the US, you can buy it digitally on platforms such as Amazon Prime , Vudu , and iTunes .

The Layover

Recommended by Paula Morgan from Expert Abroad

The Layover was just one of the many travel shows that featured everyone’s favourite food traveller Anthony Bourdain. It aired for three seasons between 2011-2013 and after watching the very first episode on a 48-hour visit to New York it will likely change the way you travel forever.

No longer will you book the fastest trip to your destination. A stopover is not viewed as a hardship it is now something to embrace. The series covered 20 cities and racing against the clock Bourdain showed the audience the best things to eat, see and do, usually with a knowledgeable local as his sidekick.

The pace at times seems a little exhausting and you may not manage to cover as much in your 24 hours as the pro’s do but they make it easy for you to pick a few things for your next visit.

The team covered almost all of the main transit hubs across Asia, Europe and the USA including Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and NYC. Next time you find a cheap flight because of a long stopover check the series list and start making some plans.

Where to Watch: You can watch The Layover on Amazon Prime or The Travel Channel . Some episodes are also on YouTube .

Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

Recommended by Arrianne Guzman from Travel Habeat

Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown is a travel and food show featuring an amazing chef exploring destinations less traveled by. As it inspires you to explore off-the-beaten paths, you’ll delve into intricate cultures, rich history, and beautiful people. You’d realize that a dish is more than what goes in a plate, it’s about tradition, heritage, and way of living. Catch Anthony tries a delectable Filipino dish called sisig and a scrumptious dessert fondly named “halo-halo” while grasping how the Philippines spend an extended Christmas season. Unravel with him the complicated past of Koreatown in Los Angeles and see what it was like to grow up Korean American. Or maybe you’d agree with him how a salad of fermented tea leaves can taste good in Myanmar.

Where to Watch: An original CNN series, it is available in digital media platforms including Amazon Prime , iTunes, and Vudu .

Expedition Unknown

Recommended by Albi from Ginger Around the Globe

Expedition Unknown is a TV show that will sparkle the heart of every traveler, who loves history. Josh Gates will take you around the globe and at the same time, you will see him and other archeologists, solving ancient mysteries. You will get to know about Kruger treasure, where is the tomb of last Inka king and more Indiana Jones mysteries like this. So you will see all kinds of places and at the same time, know their history and local culture. It is very informative, fun and wanderlusty.

Where to Watch: You can watch the show on the Discovery Channel or on the Travel Channel . If you prefer streaming services, you can also find the show on Hulu or Amazon Prime Video .

Rick Steves Travel Series

Recommended by Noel Morata from Travel Photo Discovery

One of my favorite travel shows that turned me onto traveling was watching the PBS travel programs with Rick Steve’s. Primarily focused on travels in Europe, Rick Steve’s showcased an amazing series of places to visit around Europe and each lovely country. He initially visits a destination and hops around with a local expert to show the highlights, enjoy some local food and drink and see some cultural treasures along with connecting with locals, merchants and everyday people. It makes it so fascinating to watch his programs and really shows audiences the connection with people, place, culture and food makes traveling to Europe so wonderful and fun. Rick Steve’s has created a lot of guide books about individual countries that you can purchase or just watch his TV series on PBS for inspiration for planning a trip to a specific country in Europe that has always been on your bucklist of places to visit. So if you are looking for inspiration about a particular country with all the bells and whistles of what makes each area so unique and special, check out any of his programs on TV. You’ll be hooked and wanting to binge watch all of his programs in a row.

Where to Watch: On TV at PBS and Amazon Prime Video

Booze Traveler

Recommended by Megan Starr

One of the best shows to watch for those that love combining travel with beverages and food is Booze Traveler, a show by The Travel Channel that showcases a host traveling around the world in search for special alcoholic drinks in countries that he visits. I actually helped with a couple of the episodes back in the day (Lithuania and Armenia ) and it really brought to light how many unique drinks exist in every place that you travel! They travel across the globe from Hawaii to Armenia to Nepal and beyond. It is a really refreshing show!

Where to Watch: The best way to watch Booze Traveler is to catch reruns on-demand from The Travel Channel in the US. You can watch it on Amazon Prime Video .

Recommended by Coni from Experiencing the Globe

Three Canadian friends decide to leave the Great White North behind and explore the world. They pack a bag, say goodbye to friends and family, and off they go. The initial plan is to spend a year traveling, but it quickly transforms into three whole years.

They spend a month in India, another in Japan, another in New Zealand. As they start feeling more comfortable on the road, the push their own boundaries and head to tougher destinations, like Libya and North Korea. They explore Greenland during winter, meet ancient tribes in Papua New Guinea and travel across the different scientific bases of Antarctica .

It’s impossible not to get inspired with the tons of wanderlust Departure sends our way.

Where to Watch: Available on Apple iTunes and Hoopla .

James May: Our Man in Japan

Recommended by Emma from Emma Jane Explores

Top Gear’s James May might seem like a strange choice for a travel show host, but the bumbling Englishman is an endearing host as he takes viewers on a comprehensive trip around Japan from North to South. Always happy to throw himself into any bizarre situation, Our Man in Japan sees May participate in all sorts of activities from dog sledding in Hokkaido to painting Mount Fuji with a renowned Japanese artist. Streaming on Amazon Prime, Our Man in Japan covers a whole lot of unique quirks that make the country a must-travel destination for all kinds of traveller types. Whether you’re a first timer to Japan or a serial visitor, Our Man in Japan will make you all kinds of eager to get back over to the land of the rising sun soon.

Where to Watch: You can watch on Amazon Prime Video only.

Planet Earth

Recommended by Roshni from The Wanderlust Within

The award-winning, BBC documentary series, Planet Earth was first shown in 2006. It took four years to film, using 71 cameramen in 64 different countries. The series was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC and the first to be filmed in high definition. The 11 episode series is narrated by David Attenborough and celebrates the natural world in a way you’ve never seen it before. Each episode features a different biome or habitat on Earth and lasts 50 minutes plus an extra 10 minutes of behind the scenes footage showing the challenges of filming the episode.

Ten years after the first series, Planet Earth II was released showing how animals meet the challenges of surviving in the most iconic habitats on earth. A third sequel is planned to air in 2022.

Where to Watch: All 11 episodes of Planet Earth , and all 6 episodes of Planet Earth II are available for streaming on BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video and iTunes.

Samantha Brown: Places to Love

Recommended by Francesca Makana of Homeroomtravel

Samantha Brown has been an icon in the travel world for my entire life. Back in the day, she was best known for her Passport series . Present-day she hosts Samantha Brown: Places to Love. In this show, Brown showcases some lesser-known destinations, like the Texas Hill Country, and covers things to do in that area. Although she does still cover larger, well-known cities, such as Shanghai, she will not just list the main tourist sites. Instead, she interacts with the locals and finds unique things to do in that location.

Where to Watch: Viewers can catch Places to Love on PBS and select episodes on the PBS website .

Joanna Lumley’s Silk Road Adventure

Recommended by Emily from Wander-Lush

There are few parts of the world that inspire wanderlust more than Central Asia. In this 2018 miniseries, British actress and supermodel, Joanna Lumley (you may recognize her from the 1990s comedy sitcom Absolutely Fabulous) retraces parts of the fabled Silk Road trading route from the perspective of a tourist.

Over four episodes, she travels from Venice to Uzbekistan via Iran, Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan, visiting caravanserais, fire temples and bazaars along the way. This series brings to life the cross-pollination of ideas and influences that characterizes this part of the world where East intersects with West.

Lumley’s dry British humor and insatiable curiosity make her a terrific host. Even if you’re never considered visiting Central Asia and the Caucasus before, this series will inspire you to follow the footsteps of Marco Polo on one of the most epic overland journeys of all time.

Where to Watch: Joanna Lumley’s Silk Road Adventure is currently available to stream via Amazon Prime UK . Some episodes are also on YouTube .

Recommended by Ruby from A Journey We Love

Travel Man is a 30 minute British TV show hosted by Richard Ayoade shown on Channel 4 (UK). Each week, he travels with someone for a quick getaway (48-72 hours) and breaks down tourist sites, what to eat, facts about the city and banters around with his co-presenter for the week. For people living abroad, you can watch some of the shows on Channel 4’s website, and there are also full episodes available on Travel Man’s official YouTube channel . What makes the show interesting is that the host, Richard Ayoade, is not a big traveler nor is he a big fan of trying new things. It makes for a great perspective on how to plan quick weekend getaways for those who are planning trips with people who don’t like to travel and how to make it interesting for them. It also makes the series very funny because watching the host’s reactions and monologues is absolutely priceless.

Where to Watch: For people living abroad, you can watch some of the shows on Channel 4’s website, and there are also full episodes available on Travel Man’s official YouTube channel . You can also find episodes on Amazon Prime Video .

The Amazing Race

Recommended by us

The Amazing Race is our favorite travel show and we have been watching it from the beginning. The American reality competition show has aired 32 seasons on CBS since its premiere in 2001. If you enjoy the drama of reality competition shows and are also a travel lover then you will love The Amazing Race . Each season takes place in a few different countries and in total The Amazing Race has visited over 90 different countries and six continents. Teams of two people (usually couples, friends, or family members) race around the world, solving clues and completing tasks and challenges along the way. Relationships are tested and there are sometimes arguments between teammates and with other teams. The last team to finish each leg is eliminated until three teams race to the finish line in order to win $1 million. Fun fact: We actually applied to be on the show as a sisters team (more than ten years ago and long before we started this blog) but alas we were not chosen!

Where to Watch: You can stream old seasons of the Amazing Race on CBS All Access , Amazon Prime Video and various streaming services such as Hulu .

Did your favorite travel show or series make the list?

Some good recommendations on this list for sure. James May also has some other travel shows that can be found on Netflix, Youtube, etc. Although it’s a Vlog and not a true TV show I would add Kara and Nate’s Vlog show from Youtube. They have visited over a 100 countries and it’s one of the best. If you’ve never watched them, just start with their first show and binge watch it through to today.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will check them out!

I’ll recommend a few new ones. AppleTV has “Long Way Up” from the “Long Way Down” and “Long Way Around” fame. Actor Ewan McGregor and his friend, Charley Boorman from the tip of South America to Los Angeles on electric Harley Davidson motorcycles. I pretty much hate AppleTV+ but this show is so very good. You might check out Max&Lee on Youtube which has recently continued on with Max&Occy. This is one of many Vanlife travel vlogs but it’s better than most. Start at the beginning with Max & Lee and work your way forward for good binge-watching. I will also add in a bonus travel vlog from YouTube and that is Sergio & Rhoda in Isreal. This couple travels around Isreal and shows details about various historical sites with a local flair. Very interesting for those that enjoy this region.

Best Travel Shows on Netflix to Watch Right Now

Looking for travel related activities to do at home to feed your wanderlust? These include reading books, browsing Instagram feeds, and — of course — Netflix. More specifically, watching travel shows on Netflix .

Even in normal circumstances, travel TV offers much-needed escapism. In recent years, Netflix got the message and started producing a large number of these shows. This led to a deluge of travel-related content and navigating it became tough.

Looking for suggestions? You’ve come to the right place! Here is a list of the best travel shows on Netflix you have to check out.

Best Travel Shows on Netflix

1. Street Food

From the creators of Chef’s Table, this series swaps the formal setting for the streets. The first season of Street Food takes us to Asia, as we travel through Japan, Taiwan, Singapore , and so on. All episodes clock in at close to 30 minutes.

During our travels, we find out how each country treats its street vendors. The series enjoys taking its time in letting these vendors tell their stories. Each episode notes the personal connection between the food and the people who make it.

2. Ugly Delicious

Ugly Delicious is a lot of things, but it’s a travel show at heart. Now in its second season, the David Chang-hosted series is better than ever. The show consists of Chang traveling the world and discussing life, culture, and anything else he thinks of.

The show’s main drawing point is its complete lack of pretense. Chang meets a lot of celebrities on his travels, but the show remains pleasantly grounded. The second season takes us from Tokyo and Istanbul to Outback Steakhouse.

3. Somebody Feed Phil

Do you enjoy Everybody Loves Raymond? Even if you’re not a fan, check out its hilarious creator Phil Rosenthal in this documentary. Throughout the show, Rosenthal eats his way through Lisbon , Bangkok, Tel Aviv, and other lovely places.

One great thing about Somebody Feed Phil is its optimistic nature. Though there’s a clear focus on food, the show is also about Rosenthal’s trip of discovery. With all the stress around us, the positive vibes this show provides are priceless.

4. Tales by Light

Most great documentaries depend on their photographers. Unfortunately, they often get left out of the spotlight while they’re looking for those perfect shots. Tales by Light aims to rectify that by focusing on the photographers themselves.

In each episode, we follow one photographer taking us along on their journey. Throughout their quest, they cover the most interesting corners of our planet. As luck would have it, the photographers are also among the best in the world.

5. Travels with My Father

Speaking of comedians traveling the world, that list keeps getting bigger. Travels with My Father is one of the more successful entries, featuring Jack Whitehall and his dad, Michael. Imagine traveling with your parents, and you’ll get the show’s appeal.

Throughout its 13 episodes, the pair goes on a series of unlikely adventures. They visit Angkor Wat, Chernobyl, and a Thai full moon party. The moments in-between are even better, as they keep forcing each other out of their comfort zones.

6. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Haven’t had enough of David Chang? If so, this 4-part series will make for a great binge watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. In each episode, Chang visits one of his celebrity friends and dives into their local food scenes.

The supporting cast of Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner includes Seth Rogen, Chrissy Teigen, Lena Waithe, and Kate McKinnon. The show itself is a little less dialed-in than Ugly Celebrities, but it’s still quite fun. The influence of the late Anthony Bourdain is on full display.

7. Our Planet

If you consider yourself a traditionalist, you likely want more Planet Earth. Well, Our Planet is the closest thing you can find on Netflix. Narrated by Attenborough and produced by BBC, this show breathes new life into a nature series format.

Much like Planet Earth, Our Planet is one of the best-received documentaries out there. It’s easy to see why: the show’s vast scope takes us from the Arctic tundra to the deepest oceans. If this doesn’t scratch your travel itch, nothing will!

8. Emily in Paris

From the creator of Sex and The City, Emily in Paris is a show about a young American woman who moves from Chicago to Paris to work for a Parisian marketing firm. While not an entirely accurate portrayal of French culture, it showcases the beauty of Paris (one of the most beautiful cities in Europe if not the world).

More Travel Shows on Netflix

Yes, watching travel shows on Netflix is no substitute for a real adventure . If you run out of stuff to binge, there are many good shows we haven’t mentioned.

Chances are, watching some of these travel shows on Netflix will inspire you to start preparing for your own trip.

Great article thanks for sharing! They really help with the travel withdrawal during the shelter in place. “Restaurants on the Edge” is also a good one to check out. Restaurants with great views and bad reviews get help from 3 intrepid restauranteurs/designers. Kind of a mash up of Gordon Ramsey, Fixer Upper, and Queer Eye. Glad we found your blog. Stay safe!

Welcome to Screen Gab, the newsletter for everyone getting a little stir crazy for summer vacation.

It’s not quite the same, but Screen Gab No. 134 contains plenty of recommendations to help you get away — whether it’s into the past, with “Stax: Soulsville U.S.A.”; at the side of Gordon Ramsay, in “Uncharted”; in search of luxury real estate, thanks to an emerging franchise of Netflix series; or to the movies, inspired by a beloved anime. Read on to fast-forward to your next trip (without having to leave the house).

Must-read stories you might have missed

30 years after Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder, her sisters tell her story in docuseries: Denise, Dominique and Tanya Brown say they decided to speak about their sister in a new Lifetime docuseries to preserve her memory and to humanize the sibling they loved.

‘The Sympathizer’ author reveals the ‘red line’ he wouldn’t let HBO series cross : In the Emmy-season premiere of The Envelope podcast, we sit down with Maya Erskine, star of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” and Viet Thanh Nguyen and Don McKellar from HBO’s “The Sympathizer.”

For ‘Under the Bridge,’ Archie Panjabi mined a mother’s loss: ‘I could not control the pain’: Panjabi stars as Suman Virk in Hulu’s “Under the Bridge,” about the real-life murder of Reena Virk, and tells what it was like to tap into a mother’s grief and to forgive.

Being bad is good for Walton Goggins, whose turn in ‘Fallout’ has kept his star rising: The veteran character actor from “The Shield” and “Justified” is having a standout year, playing the Ghoul in Prime Video’s “Fallout” and a role in Season 3 of “The White Lotus.”

Recommendations from the film and TV experts at The Times

“Stax: Soulsville, U.S.A.” (HBO, Max)

This marvelous four-hour documentary dedicated to the life and music of the great soul and R&B label in Memphis, Tenn. — home to Otis Redding, Rufus and Carla Thomas, Booker T. and the MGs, Sam and Dave, Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers and others — does not feel a minute too long, though the ride can sometimes be rough and the lessons hard. After a brief period recording country music, Stax — founded by white siblings Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton — and its attached Satellite Record Shop turned to Southern soul, creating new sounds and becoming a magnet for young Black musicians and music lovers. (And, notably, some white ones: House band the MGs were integrated in a segregated city.) It’s the story of a company and a community, of personal and national tragedy, of music and the music business, of getting knocked down and getting up again. From local dances to Monterey Pop to Wattstax, it’s inspiring, heartbreaking and, unlike a lot of music documentaries, actually full of music. — Robert Lloyd

“Haikyu!” (Crunchyroll, Netflix)

Finally hitting U.S. theaters on Friday is “Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle,” a movie that picks up where “Haikyu!!” left off at the end of its fourth season. The anime series follows Shoyo Hinata and his high school volleyball team as they make their way to nationals. Hinata fell in love with the sport as a kid after catching a glimpse of Karasuno High School’s “Little Giant” — their small-in-stature volleyball ace — in action on TV. Short and energetic, Hinata is athletically gifted but never had the chance to be properly trained or compete in matches. He enrolls in Karasuno High to follow in the Little Giant’s footsteps, only to discover that his middle school rival is there too. The series is full of humor, heart and heartbreak, following the high-schoolers as the team gels through practices, training camps and competitions. It’s also plenty accessible to those who have no prior knowledge of volleyball. (And while watching the series is not required to enjoy “The Dumpster Battle,” familiarity with the show and its characters does enrich the experience.) — Tracy Brown

Everything you need to know about the film or TV series everyone’s talking about

If you already knew the name Daniel Daggers when he turned up as the head of a luxury real-estate firm on Netflix’s latest high-end property series, “Buying London,” you are either a very wealthy Brit who needs better hobbies or, like me, a devotee of the streamer’s answer to “The Real Housewives” and “Below Deck.” After all, Daggers — who first appeared on “The Parisian Agency: Exclusive Properties” as a potential partner to the lovably close-knit Kretz family — has assumed the same role that Mauricio Umansky does at his (much messier) family business in “Buying Beverly Hills” and oversees stylized office high jinks like those of “Selling Sunset ,” spinoff “Selling the O.C.” and since canceled “Selling Tampa.” (Yet another entry, New York-set “Selling in the City,” has been ordered to series; the separate “Owning Manhattan” premieres June 28.)

Of them all, it’s “Buying London,” piecing together the parts of an entire programming category into a Frankenstein’s monster of their worst instincts, that most clearly crystallizes the possibilities and risks of Netflix’s strategy. It is, in theory, proof of concept for an infinitely repeatable global format, one the platform has successfully ( albeit controversially ) achieved with “Love Is Blind” — no company in Hollywood is better prepared to hang its shingle in Monte Carlo, Dubai, Singapore, Sydney. But unfortunately, populated by both insipid architecture — too much Airbnb minimalism at an ultra-rich price point — and insipid characters — whose names, besides Daggers’, I never managed to remember — this iteration better illustrates the difference between enjoyably trashy and just plain trash.

It’s all in the execution, as they say. Seeing one cookie-cutter open-concept kitchen after another in Laguna Beach, for instance, seems logical, albeit numbing; to find such a lack of idiosyncrasy and charm in London is a serious disappointment. (“The Parisian Agency,” which has lately visited a stud farm and a converted church, easily fulfills this end of the bargain.) More to the point, in splitting the difference between the crisp professionalism of “The Parisian Agency” and the craven clout-chasing of its California counterparts, “Buying London” leaves itself in no man’s land, neither sincere enough to embrace nor arch enough to laugh at. When it comes to reality TV fireworks, the famed reserve of the British upper crust is what you might call a wet blanket. — Matt Brennan

A weekly chat with actors, writers, directors and more about what they’re working on — and what they’re watching

Gordon Ramsay has no taste for idleness. Perhaps that’s why the star chef and TV personality, who trekked to Jordan, Cuba, Hawaii and more far-flung locales for Season 4 of “Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted” (Nat Geo, Hulu, Disney+), looks to athletes like Tom Brady and Michael Strahan for inspiration. “He has his hand in so many things,” Ramsay said of the former footballer and “Good Morning America” co-host. “I know I travel a lot, but that man must be in the sky as much as me.” Before “Uncharted” returned this week, he stopped by Screen Gab to discuss what he’s watching, what “The Bear” gets right about restaurant kitchens and more. — Matt Brennan

What have you watched recently that you are recommending to everyone you know?

I really loved “The Dynasty: New England Patriots” on Apple TV+. Being in the States has made me an American football fan, and I became fascinated by Tom Brady after my first NFL game. That first game, ironically, was when Tom Brady beat the Falcons at the Super Bowl. So to understand what was happening behind the scenes was incredible, not just as a sports fan but as a former player myself. It also taught me his catchphrase, which I use all the time now. LFG!

What’s your go-to “comfort watch,” the film or TV show you return to again and again?

“Wicked Tuna,” hands down. Whenever I’m traveling or working in America, I find Nat Geo and put it on. I love fishing so much, I do it every summer, and I’ve been known to some times to sneak away when the cameras aren’t rolling on “Uncharted.” I just love seeing the grit, hard work and, of course, the amazing fish they catch. It’s my dream one day to be on that show.

With “Uncharted,” you continue a trend of expanding into new genres: cooking shows, docuseries, competition shows, travel shows. Who’s your TV inspiration, the person whose onscreen career you look to as a model for your own and why?

That’s a tough one, since before “Hell’s Kitchen,” food wasn’t as mainstream as it is today. With that said, I have to look at Michael Strahan. He’s a former footballer like me, but I actually use my feet to play, and he has his hand in so many things in his next stage in his career. I know I travel a lot, but that man must be in the sky as much as me.

Unvarnished opinion: How close is “The Bear” to an actual restaurant kitchen?

The kitchen Carmy builds in Season 2 is the kitchen any Michelin-starred chef dreams of. Trust me, I was jealous. I think why so many chefs, like me, love the show is we’ve been through so many of those moments the show captures. That said, I haven’t been locked in a walk-in before.

Just 27 Products Reviewers Say Are “Great For Travel"

Scroll down for must-have travel products that are reviewer approved.

BuzzFeed Contributor

1. A digital luggage scale , so you won't have to guess if your bag is overweight, only to suffer the embarrassment of having to empty your things in front of the entire airport. And then, trying your best to move your belongings around because paying that overweight baggage fee is way too expensive. 

You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements. 

Promising reviews:  "Compact and accurate handheld weighing machine. Love its portability – great for travel. The digital display is easy to read, and the tare function is handy. Definitely a reliable tool for managing weight on the go!" — NPorwal

"This scale works and was accurate on four flights. The first flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel. " — Robert

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+  (available in four colors and a two-pack).

2. An inflatable wedge pillow  that may look a little odd, but this comfy pillow will help you get the best sleep possible while traveling. It can also be used if you're not tired but don't feel like talking to the passenger next to you. You can just slip your phone inside so you can catch up on your fave show privately.

BTW, it comes with a fabric slipcover that's machine washable. 

Promising reviews:  "Great for travel. Easy to inflate and deflate. Very portable for traveling."  — Tim Folisi

"This is a very comfortable pillow. Great for plane travel. It keeps you out of people's space and keeps your neck straight so there are no kinks." — Sabrina Owens

Get it from Amazon for  $24.99.  

3. Or a  Trtl neck pillow  if you prefer sleeping while you're sitting up. This will keep your neck in place so you won't jerk awake when your head falls forward, inducing one of those annoying dreams when you feel like you're falling.

Promising review: "Lightweight, great for travel. It fits into my bag flat, which makes it so much easier to travel with. I use it almost every week taking a red-eye flight, and it's been a lifesaver."  — Seoweon

Get it from Amazon for  $64.99+  (available in five colors).

4. An external battery  that can charge your phone up to three times, so you can make it through your road trip if you depend on your phone for GPS or if you like to listen to your fave podcast on long flights.

Promising review: "This little power bank works as it is supposed to. Only used it once so far. Charged my iPhone 40% in a little over one hour. This is something you don’t know you need it until you need it. Great for travel or power outages. Very small but mighty and very affordable."  — Beverly

Get it from Amazon for  $19.99+  (available in three colors).

5. An international power converter , so you'll be able to plug in your electronics and devices in 150 countries! This is a must-have for any globetrotter. It has a 5-foot detachable power cable, four different sockets, and a built-in thermostat switch that'll automatically shut off in case of overheating, over-current, over-voltage, overcharging, or short-circuit. 

Sokoo is a small business creating voltage converters, travel adapters, cooling fans and more.

Promising review:  "Great for travel. This power converter worked very well on a recent trip overseas. It is compact and has several outlet adapters. I was able to charge our phones and use a curling iron with no problems."  — Janet Paffenbarger

Get it from Amazon for $39.98 . 

6. An  AirFly , aka a wireless transmitter that'll connect your  AirPods  (or any other Bluetooth headphones) to the jack on your flight so you won't have to use those flimsy headphones that they charge extra for on some flights. Now, you can enjoy all the free entertainment you want.

It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.

Promising review: "Great device for travel. I did not love how my ears felt after using the airline's free headphones. I decided to give this a try so that I could use my wireless headphones. I charged it and set it up ahead of the trip, and it was amazing!! I loved being able to turn it on and plug it in. I only used it for the flights (a total of 14 hours) and didn't need to recharge at all. I like that this can be plugged into anything that doesn't have Bluetooth. The instructions were very easy to set up; I would definitely buy this product again. "   — Shea

Get it from Amazon for  $34.99+  (available in four styles and two colors).

7. A waterproof Kindle  because packing a heavy book just isn't ideal. Plus, you will no longer have to worry about getting a book wet or getting sand in between the pages. This Kindle has so many great features: the battery lasts for weeks, it has a built-in adjustable light, and you can download books instantly. If you love reading, it's time to upgrade because this is a game changer. 

Promising review:  "The battery life is amazing! Perfect for travel and easily fits in my purse."  — James B.

Get it from Amazon for $114.99+  (available with or without ads, with or without Kindle Unlimited, and three colors).

8. A rotating  hands-free phone mount  that you can attach to the tray table on your flight, an armchair, your luggage handle, or basically any surface so you can catch up on your fave show anywhere, anytime. Hey, you're on vacay — boredom is not on the itinerary.

Promising reviews : "Great for travel. Bought these for our kids to use on the airplane! They work great for our kids to mount their phones to anything!" — caitria geldermann

"Perfect for travel. This little gizmo was my trusty friend during two months of travel. It’s perfect for plane travel, as well as at hotels and home, as a great little holder for hanging out at any desk or table. Takes a bit of practice to get used to the best form for holding and hanging the phone, as the permutations seem endless. Once you get the hang of it, you will be so glad you made this purchase. Highly recommend." — City Pickle

Get it from Amazon for $13.97+  (available in four colors and in a two-packs).

9. A set of  acupressure anti-nausea wristbands  for anyone who gets motion sickness or nausea. I 👏 swear 👏 by 👏 these!! I used these throughout my pregnancy to help with morning sickness and I use them whenever I'm on a cruise, boat, or long road trip. And, they work like magic! These are the perfect drug-free alternative to prevent that annoying feeling that you're about to throw up.

The band applies pressure on the P6 acupressure point, which is said to help relieve nausea and vomiting.

Promising reviews: "Perfect for traveling and helped me survive my Europe trip! I appreciated that they came with short how-to-use instructions. The wristbands are very small and fit easily in any pocket. I used them while riding in the backseat of a car, traveling on a plane, and riding trains, and all three times, I felt fine. Without these, I would've gotten major nausea, headache, and indigestion.  Although they leave some pressure marks, if you wear them for a couple of hours, they will eventually go away. However, I have not tried it while taking a boat ride, so I can't speak for that." — Helena

"Great for travel. Worked well for our cruise." — Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53+  (available in six colors and a two-and four-pack).

10. A lightweight and compact  stroller  because it can fit in the overhead bin on a plane so you can avoid the hassle of waiting around after your flight to get your stroller out of storage. Bonus: it'll fit easily in the trunk of a rental car or if you need to catch a cab.

FYI: This was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014 for being the most compact stroller. It can hold kids who weigh up to 55 pounds and weighs only 9.5 pounds.

Promising review: "Great for travel! We bought this stroller for our 18-month-old on a recent airplane trip and would definitely recommend it. It is so easy to unfold and fold, and we took it directly on the airplane and put it in the overhead bin with no issues.  Our 18-month-old fits perfectly, and we definitely will get more use out of it as he grows. We love that we don’t have to lug around our big stroller to the airport anymore and do a gate check. The only downfall of the stroller is the underneath pocket compartment is very small and wouldn’t even fit a child-size backpack, so do not rely on the under compartment for storage. Would definitely recommend though, and we thought it was a great price!" — Alex

Get it from Amazon for $219.99+  (available in four styles, three colors, and with or without a travel bag).

11. Or, a  JetKids ride-on carry-on suitcase  that any parent traveling with a child will absolutely love. Not only does it have room for storage, but it also has wheels and it's designed for your toddler to sit on and ride as your pull it through the airport. If you don't want to lug a stroller, this will be the next best thing. Oh, and it can be used as a leg rest to keep your kiddo comfy during their flight.

It's recommended for kids ages 3–7 and fits most standard economy seats. Plus, it has an adjustable strap so you can carry it over your shoulder, a top handle, and a mattress inside that can be removed and used while on the flight. Parents have even used this product while in the airport waiting for the flight to keep their kids comfy and happy. 

Promising review: "Perfect for travel. Very spacious for all the toys that we use on our trips. This travel suitcase is dedicated only to my daughter's stuff for the flight, and she loves it. She can ride it, play around with it, and we used it on our overnight flights as well." — Natalie 

Get it from Amazon for $229  (available in six colors). 

12. A genius  luggage-mounted cup caddy  because you won't have to hesitate when you want to grab a snack or coffee (or a margarita!) when your trudging through the terminal with all of your stuff. Now, you'll have a place to put your drink and food.

Promising review : "Perfect for traveling. Super easy to put on and take off and holds my coffee, water, and cellphone!" — RS

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 26 colors/styles). 

13. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers  to make it easier for your toddler to snack as much as they want while traveling without getting crumbs all over the place. These genius cups make it easy for your child to get their snacks out without making a mess.

Promising reviews: "These help prevent a lot of mess and work great for traveling and snacking in the car." — Alexandra

"Perfect for any snacks: grapes, chips, cookies, etc. No more spills. Great for home and traveling!" — Precious

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.96  (available in two color combos, four-packs, and bundles with cups or bowls).

14. A  portable white-noise machine  because it will drown out noise so you (or your child) can fall asleep and stay asleep just about anywhere. It's perfect for noisy hotel rooms or if your little one is overdue for a nap but you're out and about sightseeing or shopping — just clip it onto their stroller to help your fussy toddler drift to sleep.

This has four sound options: heartbeat, white noise, ocean, and lullaby.

Promising review: "Perfect for travel. This little sound machine is awesome! Perfect size to clip-on to a car seat or diaper bag for naps on-the-go." — Angela Iysheh

"Great for travel. Great sound machine for travel or just when out running errands and you need to get the little one to nap." — Ashley Hardee Rice

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 .

15. An upright toiletry bag for anyone who doesn't mind checking a bag and needs more room to hold full-size items. This can be hung in a closet or behind a door so you won't have to unpack all of your toiletries, yet you'll have easy access to all your stuff. It saves counter space and it's great for tiny hotel rooms or cruise ship cabins.

This has   eight huge mesh pockets in the main compartment, four zippered pockets (three internal, one external), and six additional pouches to keep your bath products perfectly organized. 

Promising review: "Great for travel. I use this mainly for keeping my toiletries in one spot and it's useful when you share a bathroom with others that like to 'borrow' your stuff. Plenty of room for storing a variety of toiletries with room to spare. Well constructed with solid zippers and lots of pockets. I like that you can hang the whole bag on a hook or cabinet handle and have everything at your fingertips." — bigslim

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and 20 styles/colors). 

16. An  anti-theft backpack equipped with slash-resistant fabric, locking zippers, and built-in RFID-blocking technology to protect all your important items.

It's got lots of zippered pockets and compartments inside and out, plus it comes with two bottle holders!

Promising review: "Great for travel. I can't give this bag a better review. It is well made, has lots of pockets that securely close, and carries a lot for its size." — mwoo

Get it from Amazon for $99.95+ (available in six colors/styles).

17. A compact  folding travel mirror  so you don't have to worry about your hotel's horrible lightning. This mirror has built-in adjustable lighting so you can clearly see yourself while applying makeup or doing your hair. Plus, it also has a stand, so you can prop it up anywhere.

It comes with a rechargeable battery!

Promising reviews: "Absolute must for travel. Hotels and Airbnbs rarely have both good lighting and a good mirror to sit down and do your makeup. With this guy though, you won't have that worry. The different lights are wonderful for different settings; the mirror is sturdy and lightweight. It does not feel cheap at all, in fact, it is the best travel mirror I have purchased. I am now using this on a daily basis, so I think it was an awesome find, not just for traveling but also for every day! It also is really slim and fits in your carry-on easily." — Alexandra

"Great for travel. I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She doesn't use it a whole lot but I borrowed it for a recent trip. It worked really well and it's protected for travel. I didn't feel like it was going to break in my bag. I would definitely recommend for someone looking for a travel mirror." — Danielle

Get it from Amazon for $25.89+  (available in five colors). 

18. A pair of  compression socks  if your feet usually get swollen during long flights. These will help reduce swelling and they also wick away moisture to prevent your feet from getting sweaty. 

Promising reviews:  "With three weeks of international travel coming up, I purchased these to combat swelling in my feet during the flights. I had noticed swelling after three-hour domestic flights, so I was worried about what almost 30,000 miles would do! I wore these on every leg of the trip and never noticed any swelling — even after the 10–15 hour flights. They are very comfortable, too!" — J. Beaty

"Great for travel. This is my third pair. My ankles swell when I travel, and these socks eliminate that. Recommend" — Nora

Get them from Amazon for  $16.02+  (available in sizes S–2XL and 18 colors).

Check out our full  review of the Physix Gear compression socks  here.

19. A  mesh shoe pouch  so you can stop storing your shoes in old shopping bags — there's a better way. This will keep your shoes separated from your clothes so they won't get anything in your luggage dirty. It also has a trolly strap so you can attach it to your suitcase handle to save room for other items in your bag.

Promising review: "Great for traveling. I really like this bag and how it protects shoes and keeps them from touching clothing in the suitcase. I also like that the bag allows you to stand the shoes up in the suitcase as opposed to having to lay them flat. I purchased several bags so I was able to pack flip flops, swim shoes, dress shoes, tennis shoes, etc. I was able to surprisingly fit more shoes in one bag than I thought I would. The handle is convenient and the print is fun!" — Holly

Get it from Amazon for $22.99  (available in nine styles). 

20. A pack of disposable face towels if you have sensitive skin and you want to avoid using hotel towels that can harbor bacteria or are often cleaned using harsh ingredients. They're designed to be gentle on your skin and can reduce redness, dryness, and irritation. They feature a smooth side for washing and a textured side to exfoliate or buff away SPF or product build-up. Plus, they're compact and won't take up much space in your suitcase or purse.

Promising review: "These can be a little expensive, but I do love using these over regular towels that can harbor bacteria. I got the XL and I find I can use one side in the morning and the other at night. I will order these over and over again I love them that much. The absorb well, are great for traveling — who wants to use a hotel towel on their face?? I can tell that my face has appreciated the change to this towel. And, a plus is that my esthetician also uses these so I know they're good !" — LovetoShop

Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two sizes and various multi-packs).

21. A set of  silicone bottle covers  that can be used to cover various bottles and containers to prevent them from leaking in your luggage. They're stretchy enough to fit over most shampoo, lotion, body wash, and beauty product containers. The best part? They won't lose their shape, so you can use them again and again.

Promising review: "These work! Great for travel. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! One of my friends told me about these silicone bottle covers, and now I am also recommending them to others. I've had too many spills in my cosmetic bags over the years, and have never found an ideal solution to completely prevent them, until these. What I like about them is the peace of mind that the contents are secure when traveling.  Flexible fit, they easily stretch to fit securely over various bottle sizes. I bought two different options.

Promising review: "I didn't buy this for the longest time, thinking inflation would be annoying or it'd be too bulky. I finally ordered it and love it. It's very easy to inflate since it has two inflation methods. Folds up smaller than our travel pillows. It's great for travel in cars and planes, and our kid likes sitting on it at home too.

Promising review: "Great for travel. I used these when packing for a week-long trip. They   definitely helped keep things organized as well as allowed me to pack more than I would have been able to without them . I think it's a good price for what you get. They seem well made, so we will see if they last as I use them on more trips." — Allyson

It's designed to fit any phone up to 100mm x 170mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). And not only will it keep your phone protected from water, but it will also keep sand and dirt out.

Promising review:  "I bought this for taking underwater and water sports photos on a cruise. I was skeptical that this would truly be waterproof, but this pouch held up well, and I was able to take really great underwater photos. The photo quality was great, considering my iPhone 6 was inside the plastic pouch and I had no issue using the touch screen. I like that this isn't big and bulky, so it's great for travel and also comes with a lanyard so that you can carry your phone while doing things like kayaking and swimming so you can keep your hands free."  — Courtney
