Top Gear (2002–2022)
6/10
Trying a bit too hard to be funny and replace the old cast.

This is a review of the new host duo.

I might just love the previous trio just a bit too much to being able to enjoy the new episode. Everything seemed hugely forced and scripted. I also missed an introduction to the full cast/host lineup, or how they are going to be featured in the future. Maybe it'll improve in future episodes, but I think it won't be easy. The old trio would have taken a lot more opportunities for amusing bits, what made the show so entertaining to watch.

I did like the new star-in-a-reasonable-priced-car bit, and Matt's solo video was also quite good, even though the funny remarks seemed, again, a bit forced or scripted.

Plus, they called the corvette and viper muscle cars... Neither of these are muscle cars. They are sports cars. 2 doors + 2 seats, made to compete with supercars.
