TV review: Baz Ashmawy's Best Place to Be moves into dull, banter-ish territory

"It wasn’t funny or dramatic, there was nothing at stake. It was just Baz telling a well-mannered event stylist that he was roasting."

Baz Ashmawy travels across Europe meeting Irish people who have uprooted the lives they had in Ireland to make a home elsewhere in new series Best Place to Be

I prefer Baz Ashmawy when he’s jumping out of a plane with his mother. He has this goofy energy that’s suited to action. But in Best Place to Be (RTÉ1 and RTÉ Player), he’s too much.

I like the premise. Baz is sent off around the world to find Irish people who escaped the old sod and basically ask them do they ever miss the place.
