I was looking forward to something that gave a brief synopsis of the history of the county. This was filmed post pandemic so it touched on the economy and economic decline of the county.
This guy has done many documentaries but this felt more like a lesson from the BBC, a veiled criticism of the government. With the obligatory "Global Climate Emergency statement. I was left without a sense of the character and enormity of the county. Nor did it look at positive aspects. I still don't feel I have a sense of Cornwall. I think at times, Reeves looked like he was suppressing a smirk or groin. This came across as especially disrespectful when speaking with the man at the food bank.
