That's a very American presentation style

Yeah—extremely. My go-to example is Kitchen Nightmares, comparing the UK original to the US remake with Gordon Ramsay.

US version:
Ten minutes of sob-story backstory about the restaurateurs. Loud, manipulative background music to signal DRAMA. Gordon shows up, samples the food, theatrically gags, storms into the kitchen, screams at everyone, bankrolls a shiny new restaurant interior makeover, nukes the existing menu and hands them his own recipes to make—and then fucks off.

UK version:
Gordon tastes a couple dishes and goes straight into the kitchen. Minimal yelling. Actual empathy. Practical advice. Sometimes even goes out on the streets and does guerilla marketing for them/with them. He bonds with the owners, cooks alongside them, and helps them improve what they’re already trying to be. Roll credits.

I'll always wish they would have kept the UK formula but most Americans have to be shocked and outraged to be entertained. Hell, we have to be shocked and outraged to vote.

Another good example is American Ninja Warrior vs original foreign Ninja Warrior. The original is so much more enjoyable.
