Description of each episode:

Episode 1:
From the Hollywood producers behind the James Bond films comes 007: Road to a Million which follows nine pairs of everyday people on an epic Bond-inspired global adventure. Ten questions stand between brothers James and Joey and £1,000,000, as they face a gruelling trek across the Scottish Highlands. A familiar Rolls Royce, a race through Venice and a dramatic encounter in an Italian palazzo await

Episode 2:
The Bone brothers survive their close call with a boa constrictor in Venice, but did they do enough to get the question right and bank £25,000 of The Controller’s money? Married couple Kamara and Josh, are hoping for a better future for their family but a terrifying and breath-taking climb put Josh’s fear of heights to the test and could put an end to their dream of winning £1,000,000.

Episode 3:
Next to enter The Controller’s Bond-inspired world are emergency nurses Beth and Jen. With years of experience dealing with trauma in hospitals and warzones around the world, they prove early on they are a force to be reckoned with. With £50,000 banked, following their exploits in the Venetian lagoon, the Bone brothers find themselves dropped in the middle of the unforgiving Amazon rainforest.

Episode 4:
The Atacama Desert, Chile. One of the most hostile places on earth and The Controller’s next brutal playground for Kamara and Josh. They emerge through the heat haze desperate to bank £100,000 getting them one step closer to the £1,000,000 question. Their journey will take them on an unexpected road trip through the desert, challenging their resolve and strength both physically and mentally.

Episode 5:
This high-octane episode sees the remaining pairs in some of the world’s most iconic locations - from the secret rooftops of Venice, traversing high above the busy bazaars of Istanbul, and breath-taking jumps onto moving train in the Chilean desert. The Bone Brothers enjoy a rare moment of respite on the golden sands of Jamaica before an epic hunt for a scuttled vessel and a £200,000 question.

Episode 6:
A million miles from their humble beginnings, on a scuttled catamaran off the Jamaican coast, the Bone Brothers face their £200,000 question. James and Sam head deep into the desert to an apocalyptic ghost town and a question which is out of this world. Following their cathartic volcanic adventure, Kamara and Josh battle through the swampy, crocodile infested back waters of Jamaica’s Black River.

Episode 7:
In the desert the £1,000,000 prize rest on a pair’s knowledge of early space exploration. In Kingston Jamaica, a pair take to the seas as they search for a lost freight ship. The remaining pairs now face the £300,000 question. The Controller invites them to a luxurious, exclusive casino in a remote private villa on the Jamaican coast. They must roll the dice to face their toughest question yet.

Episode 8:
Three pairs remain in the explosive final episode of 007: Road to a Million. After being dropped high in the Swiss Alps the pairs face a gruelling off-piste hike across the freezing slopes in waist deep snow to a remote ice lake. They discover The Controller has rigged a question case with high explosives. The only way to continue is to shoot it down before it detonates, and their journey is over.

All right. I don't have Prime Video so if anybody else has the chance to watch the show can provide with a description about it? It will be appreciated.
