Should I try the Korean version?

So Top Gear Australia has been cancelled. They say "hiatus" but we know what they really mean. It has to be said that the SBS version of TGA was really quite awful to the point of being unwatchable - I tried and failed several times. But after the move to channel 9 and the change in personnel, I thought they were finding their own distinctive voice and thus a place in the landscape. Obviously not up to the standard of real Top Gear but watchable while you were waiting to proper TG to return. The same can be said of the American version. Lets face it, nobody should realistically ever expect these shows to be anywhere near as good as the original but they can be satisfactory in their own right.

But in the end, it is a case of a show getting axed just as I'm finding it worthwhile watching. Why am I not surprised.
