The format is quite interesting to say the least and I particularly like the presentation of each of the three rounds before each race even though I am of the frank opinion that they are literally quite repetitive; and thus I get the feeling that the BBC kind of missed a trick here when it comes to shaking up the format a bit more throughout the game (sort of similar to the physical challenge representing the 4th round during Series 1 of Lightning).
While Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene are legit trying their best to do as decent a hosting job as they possibly could (and as much as Sarah Greene admittedly makes for an especially lovely bit of eye candy), it ultimately doesn't quite work as well as it had the potential to, largely due to the fact that the BBC are prepping them up to be the next Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman especially in terms of dynamic and chemistry.
In conclusion, while I do concede that The Finish Line has an interesting idea and concept behind it and as much as I can admit that Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene are absolutely trying their best with the uninspired material they've been given, the show ultimately feels too derivative of other, much superior quiz shows of its ilk to make itself stand out.
My overall rating for The Finish Line: 6/10.
