The series is unscripted but there are moments here when you suspect that subjects are being brought up, or lines being fed, at the producers’ request, which occasionally gives the Clarkson and Kaleb scenes a stagey feel. ... But it remains thoroughly enjoyable viewing.
Clarkson’s Farm is, at its heart, a bromance. Richard Hammond and James May have been swapped out for the brass-necked Kaleb and the level-headed Charlie, but the dynamic remains a satisfactory foil for Clarkson’s excesses. The final product is not dissimilar to something the Diddly Squat Farm Shop might sell: over-packaged and slightly artificial, but undeniably delicious.
While some of the encounters here feel a bit staged — Clarkson arguing with his girlfriend Lisa over the state of the farm-shop car park, for instance — it may gratify those who think Clarkson a bully to hear the tongue-lashing administered by Kaleb. Or the caustic if largely unintelligible asides from old farmhand Gerald Cooper, with his hedgerow-thick rural accent.
There is endless amusement in the odd-couple relationship between the clueless landowner and Kaleb, his assistant: while the knowledgable Kaleb unabashedly informs Clarkson about every one of his many stupid farming errors, his boss hits back by ribbing the younger man about his lack of wider life experience.
We’re not sure what is interesting to see on Clarkson’s Farm. It’s basically episode after episode of Clarkson stumbling around as a gentleman farmer, making bad business choices, and dealing with the quirky characters that he’s hired to help him on the farm. ...It feels like a show for Clarkson completists.
