Awkward and amateur
10 April 2019 | by junglejuice-80021See all my reviews

Normally the British versions of shows that are remade by the US are infinitely better, more subtle and generally just funnier, after watching both versions the US version is just so much better, the British version feels like something made by a local amateur club. Maybe the British version will improve but so far it's just not nearly as good.....
