The premise could have worked, Cory and Richard are pretty good, but the format/writing is horrible. What's worse is it's not only incredibly irritating, but because of the shows both presenters are famous for, you know how easily it could have been good.
Top Gear/Grand Tour were very good at the extreme adventures with fake situations made plausible thing and Mythbusters were really good at explaining things in relatable ways, so when you see they're essentially combining the two you can immediately see how that could work together right?
Unfortunately whoever was producing/paying for this decided that the target demographic would most likely be people with severe head injuries.
It's almost a kids TV show, but it fails to properly target that demographic, so it's an infotainment show that treats its audience like morons.
The show could be easily elevated to a 7/10 just by changing the writing to be a lot less patronising, and the format to massively tone down the pantomime of the situation.
Keep the cast and presumably very extensive crew, make some heavy changes to the production team for season 2. Steer into what you're actually making and you could have something fun. As Richard said in the first episode I think 'we've had our fun which is a waste of time and childish and immature, but okay... now let's get on with it.
Oh and completely remove that interview to camera nonsense - this is so incredibly on the nose it doesn't need further explaining.
