So after reading a bunch of snipets on the interweb about the show, I finally got to catch episode 2 last light. I expected the show would be good and all of the negativity was just the typical griping that people like to do. WRONG!
Two good points - The show had two really good segments (at least the idea and how they were shot)
EVO racing down the ski slope - I was shocked that this was even being done and surprised that the EVO could do this. Very cool. It was funny to see them doing the standard Top Gear style where you can't tell who wins until the very end.
Aston Martin in the desert - This segment was visually stunning. Seeing those cars with the dust trails rolling in the wind was really cool.
The bad - the obvious scripting and acting is awful. I was cringing the whole show. The guy in the plaid shirt is racing a V12 vantage across a dry lake bed at 150mph and can barely muster any excitement (why not get a real car guy to do this). In my mind I could hear Clarkson...EPPPIIIIICCCCCCCCCCC!
So all they need to do to fix this is to teach Clarkson and crew a Yank accent and have them do the show. Maybe Tanner and Plaid will get their acts together.
