Soild, but somewhat bland, especially for a first episode I think. These used to be a little more, um, fancy with a great race or something along that line. Also, I personally find the Senna´s design hideous and wouldn´t have used that bit for the first show because apparently quite a few people feel like that. Very happy to see the celebs not around anymore, more time for the good stuff. Conversation street wasnt bad either, yet it´s nothing I remember a few days later. Probably the lads need some practice to get up to speed again, so that´s all well and good. Pun well intended. Loved the city and the idea with the muscle cars, yet it all felt somewhat stiff.
What´s the most telling for me personally though: I got home quite late the night the episode came online and watched it until I decided - very uncommon for me - that half an hour more sleep is worth more than finishing the episode. That´s either me getting old (like James´ teeth, crikey!) or the episode being somewhat average, despite best efforts. Looking very much forward to the next.
