Can't seem to find a stream with proper audio for episode 2. Anyone else noticing the audio problems with the guys. You can hear the audience and music but not the hosts throughout the whole episode. Weird.
Agree with that except for the celebrities dying thing. I think that's alright so far but they could run out of ideas fast using that big window they use to watch them die.That war thing was painful to watch. I don't mind The American since it takes only a minute of the show but watching a 30min segment of that war stuff was almost unbearable. Also, hope they get rid of the celebrities dying thing cause that's getting old really fast.
That being said, still looking forward to every episode.
Yeah it seems they're trying too hard but TBH I felt that way in the last couple seasons of TG as well. I think we'll see the magic again if they do a road trip or cheap car challenge.
I, on the other hand, have loved the first 2 episodes (haven't watched 3 yet). I don't watch for the cars as much as I do for the trio. The lack of celebrities has been great as that was the worst part of Top Gear, and I'll agree there's some kinks to work out but it will take a season or two to truly hit the groove I imagine. It's a great foundation I think.
First, Diamondium is better. Second, I totally agree. I've enjoyed TGT quite a bit.
I agree. The feeling of spontaneity is gone and the scripting is so noticeable. The guys disguising their cars was just stupid and them falling out of the boat was so predictable. They didn't have the chubby American driver this time so that was a plus. I'm still hoping this is them just working the bugs out.Episode 3 - this show has been a chore to get through. Top Gear was always scripted to some degree but it's really bad in TGT. Timing seems off, bits are carried out for way too long.
They haven't done any of their golden challenges so far, so that's one issue. Cheap cars, building things, going on adventures, that's where they excel. So far it's been... a motoring show.
That war thing was painful to watch. I don't mind The American since it takes only a minute of the show but watching a 30min segment of that war stuff was almost unbearable. Also, hope they get rid of the celebrities dying thing cause that's getting old really fast.
