| By: Auguste Meyrat [Federalist] Defying all expectations, Clarkson’s Farm, a series about British journalist and TV show host Jeremy Clarkson running a farm, is still a popular hit. Now five seasons in, its appeal remains strong, with the characters established and working well together. It’s a shift from earlier seasons. In the first two seasons, Clarkson leaned hard on Kaleb Cooper, a seasoned farmhand half Clarkson’s age. Clarkson frequently misjudged certain jobs on the farm, making a mess which required Kaleb to step in, yell at him, and clean it up. Now, these scenes happen less often. Instead, the two work and plan together like close friends. While the former setup helped generate funny moments, the latter setup proves to be more satisfying as the two continue the banter but learn from one another and complement each other’s strengths. What really sets Clarkson’s Farm apart from other reality shows is its social commentary. Besides showcasing farming life it demonstrates the intersection of economics, politics, and culture. In the first two seasons, Clarkson encountered more absurd regulations and difficulties from local councils than the actual work of planting crops and raising livestock. In the third and fourth seasons, Clarkson and Cooper became spokesmen for all British farmers, even meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. |
