    Replacing [Sandi Tosvig] with [Matt] Lucas, known for his own cringeworthy style, turns both hosts into a sideshow rather than reassuring emcees. In the first episode, his bits were more distracting than amusing. But the real problem with the season premiere was the showstopper challenge. .... It wasn't a test of baking but of sculpting. .... COVID isn't the reason "Baking" is failing. The flavor of the series is off, and it might never be quite as sweet again.
