I'm a little torn when writing this review.
On the one hand Mark was always my favourite chaser on the UK edition of the show so to see him in every episode of this US version is a plus.
However,what can't be denied is that the show has been made larger than life and annoying for US audiences. There is a simplicity to the UK version that at 5pm sort of works. I also missed Bradley Walsh giggling at every silly question that comes up.
So, there we go. The Chase hits the USA and as ever when this happens, things get lost in translation. Ironically this version often airs at the same time as the British version, so if Mark's your favourite and he's not on the UK one, you don't have to look far to find him.
