This series was a real missed opportunity for me. The Chapo guys’ strengths are in their off-the-cuff banter and the little in jokes that pop up again and again. Large parts of this series involved Matt reading flatly from a script, and somehow fucking up nearly every place name (referring to Magdeburg as Madge-burg was like nails on a chalkboard). I am sure they wrote their own script but that gave the series the vibe of a High-School student reading out a Wikipedia article. When Chris and Matt were bantering about Beer George and such it was great, but the rest was a bit disappointing.
I’m one of the few within my friend group who love CTH (btw definitely check out their companion cast “Chapo FYM” - I’ve found myself more drawn to those guys and the bizarre lives of the YouTubers they focussed on over the last year or so)
