On the Roam

Sounds deep? It is. A lot of people totally misplaced and misunderstood the show. It's not a motorcycle or petrolhead show, it's not an art show, it's not even a show. It's a roam through life, it's literally in the title. Jason tries to find things about himself through all of his projects and in the process creates or continues legacies for his family, for his friends, the people he reveres and learns from. He roams from one craftsmanship to another intertwining them with his proffessional and personal lives and always concludes there's more to be found. Monumental work in which he invested a lot of himself, both financially and affectively, not necessarilly in this order and it boasts with the creative energy of exceptionally well crafted things of the past (sometimes directly from their creators) that is redirected towards an always uncertain future which never scares him. He's not a man of many words and perhaps that shows a bit too much, but his energy is infectious and you get to share his genuine awe. As long as viewers keep an open mind and don't typecast him, it's just great to watch.

I enjoyed learning about the different relationships that Mamoa has around the country & the world. His passion for Harley Davidson is awesome, especially those old school KnuckleHeads. I also enjoyed the jewelry that his friend makes, I found their website, there are some very nice pieces out there! Then the Blacksmith shop in Hawaii, bad a**! If you are a Jason Mamoa fan, he takes us up close & personal with a few of his hobbies that also commingle with his movie characters. The rings he wears in Aquaman & the swords & knives in a couple others.

You will also see him visiting places off screen that are in some of his movies which is also very cool. I look forward to future episodes.

On the roam Was really kick but to watch Definitely showed a different part Of jason That's really cool and his knowledge Alongside all the talented people Definitely the people I would hang out with I waited every week to watch the new episode To see what new cool stuff he was going to do Definitely never disappointed The last episode Almost had me in tears was really hart warming Bringing back all those bikes and guitars Not to mention the cool pictures and the hand crafted weapons Only bad thing I can say Is there isn't more episodes yet And if that's the only bad thing I can say then your doing a really good job can't wait to see more of this.

Jason seems like a decent guy but these is the ultimate puff piece of film making.

It looks pretty but there is zero substance to it. Jason seems happy to endlessly repeat himself about how stoked he is without offering any insight at all into the subject.

The first episode I'd love to have heard about the technical aspects of the bikes. Other than how rare they are we learnt absolutely nothing. Quite something for an hour or TV.

I love that he's ecthusiastic for these subjects but as it is it's like listening to a young child try to explain what a nice Christmas they had when they can't get much beyond "it was great".

Watching episode one, it feels closer to Parts Unkown than any of the other attempts. Maybe it's because Momoa has that same rebellious passion matched with a deep and genuine curiosity to understand people and their personal experiences. The cinematography also has a very similar feel. I love that it begins in Maggie Valley. It goes deep into the culture and history of the people as well as the beauty of the land they live and love. It's a beautiful blend of oration, storytelling and filming. I will definitely be watching more episodes. I'm not a biker at all but I think this show will offer something of value for everyone. At the very least, just watching Momoa is fascinating as he is one of the most unique public figures we have.
