Wouw, that was....incredibly boring.
I went in having no idea what to expect, 'well it has May in it so how bad could it be....'
'Very' would be the answer, I learned fuckall about how cars are made that I didn't already knew, either from working in a very similar car factory years ago, from a poky little motoring show that used to be on the BBC or from where-ever, maybe this was not aimed at petrolheads, but information wise it had the depth of a puddle....
The whole 'build our own car' thing failed very, VERY badly, did anyone do anything to their 'own' car? We hardly ever saw it, and offcourse it was late...
Segments inbetween were ok, again a little flat but the cinematograpy was fine, could not help but feel a small TopGear vibe for just hints of moments there at times.... some shared crew perhaps?
The live bits? Not so much, missed cues, conversations and actions that felt very reversed (because they were) and a general feeling of 'what the fuck am I supposed to be watching'
Presenting wise I quess people did their best....salvaging a clusterfuck like this can't be easy, but I immidiatley had an intense dislike for whoever that popped-collar douchebag was....
I still can't understand what the point of this show was (besides selling mini's) why in the name of everything that is descent and holy they chose to do it the way they did, who it was aimed at, and why in the hell after plenty of time, money, and no doubt a great deal of annoyance from the workforce later they ended up with 'that'
If James needed Money for his Ferrari that badly he could have just started a crowdfunding...
