Because the show, in all its iterations including the Amazon Top Gear with a different name, kinda suck. They all depend on contrived “funny” situations where the hosts play a fictional version of themselves. The car opinions are driven by character and story choices and cannot be trusted. The situations are hokey AF. I hope my favorite YouTubers just keep doing the same stuff which is more authentic.

Chris Harris is a lot better on his own. Matt Farah’s low rent One Take’s are fantastic—much better than the stuff he did for Drive which was Top Gearish.

For what it’s worth I like Jethro. I just think the show is going to be worse than what he’s done on elsewhere.
