michaeljones-46179 I was so looking forward to this series after 6 seasons of the brilliant UK version. I was so disappointed that I only got through the first 2 episodes, I just couldn't watch any more. The humour is stifled (the show is quite heavily censored for language which seems so counter-intuitive), the host is not as acerbic as Greg Davies, the tasks are repeats of the original show's so no surprises, for the most part the contestants just aren't as funny or quick witted, and, even creator Alex Horne looks uncomfortable reprising his role as the Taskmaster's assistant. All in all, it's lost the edginess that the original series has. I tried so hard to like this show but I'd be very surprised to hear that it's coming back for a second series.*EDIT*I want to add that had I not seen the UK version first, I might have rated this show higher. But in a way, this version just goes to show how good the UK version really is.*EDIT2*OK, so I sat through the whole thing and it did improve somewhat, necessitating a rating increase of 1 Star.
zif ofoz 1. It's faster with more interesting contestants.2. I find the UK version needlessly long at 45 minutes while the US version is just 22 minutes (I'm discounting commercials).3. The 'task' are fun to watch while contestants strive to beat the clock. The US version gets straight to the point while the UK version seems to obsess on the contestants efforts and their reaction to the task ... ex. the watermelon eating ... boring!Give it a look!
quicksmartmcoy Prefer it to the UK version, except the ones with Mortimer and Phillips.
alanandnee My first ever review and I came prepared to give my full and honest opinion of the show only to find that jazfro had said it first and probably better than I could. Given that it is Alex Horne's idea the format is still good but severely curtailed. It is possible more of a comment on the differences between US and English/Aussie cultures than a standalone great show. If you want to see how good it could be then find and watch the Greg Davies UK version.
