How Bad Was The New Top Gear?

Posted 8 years agoEdited 8 years ago

On a scale of 1-10?

Things wrong with it:

- American co-presenter
- Chris Evans shouting too much
- Copying the same catch phrases as Clarkson
- Failing to change anything
- The interview with Gordon and Jessie where they pitch their shows at the start.

Just turned it off, couldn't watch it any more.

Ergh

Watched it in bed last night and I switched off sadly Sad

I was 100% ready to give it a chance and wasn't that bothered it had new presenters as I just was gona treat it as a new show. But yeh Chris Evans does not have a narrator voice and Matt just was reading off a script so obviously.....really poor.

I skipped and watched each segment for a few mins but gave in....just so forced and rigid.

I'm not into cars, to be honest, and wasn't the biggest Top Gear fan ever, but I've never switched it off when I caught it on TV. Jeremy Clarkson has this captivating personality that just keeps you glued to the screen. From what I've heard so far, the new show has none of the charm the old one had and even though I didn't see the ratings I kinda feel like it's doomed to fail especially with Clarkson working on the rival show.
