Fans of Clarkson's Farm looking for a new show should try 'This Is A Gardening Show' on Netflix, which has been praised by viewers for being both educational and entertaining. The series, which arrived on the streaming service earlier this year with minimal publicity, has attracted positive feedback from audiences.
Hollywood star fronts gentle series
The programme is fronted by Hollywood performer and comic Zach Galifianakis, who imparts gardening wisdom about nurturing plants and trees. Rather than positioning himself as an authority, Zach discovers the worlds of agriculture and horticulture as the show progresses.
There are also conversations with youngsters, as Zach seeks the younger generation's views on gardening and agriculture. The debut season comprises six episodes, each concentrating on a distinct food category, such as root vegetables or tomatoes. He also explores the craft of foraging and creating nutritious compost, alongside understanding the scientific principles involved.
Viewers share glowing reviews
Numerous viewers have commended the programme on IMDb, with one individual lavishing the series with acclaim in their highly-rated assessment: "10/10 amazing. It was so enjoyable. It was funny and I actually learned some things. Did I mention how funny it was because it was great."
Another leading review proclaimed the show was "what TV should be" and elaborated: "Even if you're not a gardener (we really aren't), it's a fascinating and inspiring look at where our food comes from."
A third viewer stated in their 10/10 review: "I really enjoyed this. As someone who has started expanding my garden, It was nice to see other people talking about their passion."
Yet another remarked: "I giggled my way through this series while learning a bit more about gardening and farming. Zach is wonderful with the children who participate and pretty decent with the adults too."
Minor criticism and streaming details
The sole recurring criticism amongst audiences was that episodes felt too brief, with many craving additional content from the series. 'This Is A Gardening Show' launched in April this year and arrives as Netflix broadens its range of programming. Netflix recently revealed its purchase of licensed material from numerous brands, including Vogue, House & Garden UK, and Architectural Digest, amongst various others, collected within its Culture Edit.
'This Is A Gardening Show' is available to stream on Netflix now.
