I really liked Jonathan Goodwin the first time he was on TV a few years ago. He was geeky and the escapes he did were slightly rubbish - in a good way. So the jeopardy he faced was, for example, will his family and friends see him naked tied to a sack truck in a lift. It was funny and entertaining.
Now, he hangs from helicopters or cable cars, and generally appears to risk life in the most extreme ways 5 times an episode - and yet I feel no sense of jeopardy! Probably because the stunts are so extreme that you feel they can't possibly be all they seem to be, otherwise he would be dead one way or another. Disappointing.
