[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

YAWN! GT as an offshoot of Top Gear worked on the chemistry of the trio. With the 3 new hosts, much like any of the plethora of new trios do not have any chemistry. What needed to happen was retool it to focus on new car reviews and let them and us develop chemistry and rapport. So the reviews of older niche cars is not interesting. I tried to watch and 3 minutes in I hit fast forward. Kept fast forwarding until I saw Jenson Button do laps, episode 1. Every other episode i fast forwarded through the whole thing. You cannot replicate challenges as you cannot compete with antics of the originals, Driving the Pagani on a challenge to get somewhere faster than a train uses what aspects of a Pagani? After "speeding" through the entire series in 15 minutes I do not remember anyones names and none of the bad jokes!

I DO NOT GET IT! I can maybe see the buzz over the trailer. But the actual show, not good. When I heard it was comparable to Killing Eve it became a must watch. Then I watched, do not get the comparison. Not good on so many fronts but the cardinal sin is comparing Catherine to Villanelle. Like comparing Darth Vader to M.O.D.O.K. in Antman and Wasp Quantumania. It may be me, but the episodes get worse. Based on the backstory it reminds me of the Twilight series as bad fan fiction being entertaining but critics being able to dissect it. Furious feels like the opposite. Critics laud it!? I think it is another indication that our overall tastes have gone the way of the Sony Laserdisc. Great but long gone.
