Get ready for a wild ride as Antoni Porowski takes viewers on a globe-trotting adventure like no other in 'Best of the World', but UK critics are throwing shade at this ambitious travel series. The star of Netflix's hit show 'Queer Eye' trades in his culinary expertise for a passport and camera, exploring the world's most incredible destinations – but is it enough to keep us hooked?
With his trusty cagoule firmly in place (we're talking custard-yellow, folks!), Porowski scaled new heights atop London's iconic Shard, exclaiming, "If sightseeing is your thing, London doesn’t mess around. Go beyond the postcards and this city goes deep!" But despite the show's grand aspirations, UK critics are crying foul – with one reviewer likening it to a jumbled mix of "meaningless idioms and aimless encounters with small dogs." Ouch!
The programme's 'concept' has come under fire, with some suggesting that 'Best of the World' is all style and no substance. One critic put it bluntly: "daftly pointless". But we reckon Antoni's got this – his undeniable charm and on-screen presence are enough to keep us tuning in, even if the show's format leaves a lot to be desired.
It's a bold new direction for Porowski, who's traded in the makeover magic of 'Queer Eye' for a more laid-back approach. But will his charisma be enough to carry this series? The feedback suggests it might just be – and that's something we can get behind!
