Yes, only to see how it goes, but no matter what, the first season will be shitty, it's the 'getting to know each other' phase for the hosts and for the audience.

He was featured in a segment in an earlier season when James visited him to drive his insanely rare Ferrari 250 California. |

But first season will be a shit storm of a ride, and we'll see if that 3 year contract will become a one year contract. Here's the countdown to doomsday. |

I'll still see the first season to see how awful or decent it will be, like i said before, it won't be great, because the hosts need to get to know eachother ifront of the camera, to see how much they can push each other without going over the line, I don't think they'll be able to do it as they made fun of hamsters american teeth. |

At first when I saw the headline I thought that they hired THAT Chris Evans and I was thinking how absurd it would be if that was true. | ||

The "tranquilizing trio" get trio made the series bearable. This would never work if the fans have their say. | ||

They won't be as good. TG America isn't as good, TG Australia sucked except for maybe two episodes. TG Russia didn't really work either. I'll be fair to Evans, I think he can be entertaining, I think he has what it takes, give him the right co-stars and he could make it work. The BBC will hold it back. I hope they don't make the mistake of making it a car show again. The Vietnam episode was in many ways their coming of age moment. Wilman actually apologized for making something that is not a car show. Still it was hugely popular, and one of my favorites. I hope Netflix can hire enough camera gurus. Living up to the cinematography TG had is a tall order. Likewise I hope the Beeb retained enough that they can continue to make something beautiful. As a side note, I really want to see the unaired footage that will probably never see the light of day. | ||
