“I love it,” commented one viewer, while another described the revived series as “amazing”.
“I think this version of Wheel of Fortune is the best for the following reasons,” one viewer posted on IMDb.com. “The set is gorgeous, the host is good.”
Another viewer said they were “enjoying every moment”.
Graham received considerable acclaim from fans, with one viewer posting on Instagram: “No one better, he’s the king of hosting!!”

The news of Wheel of Fortune’s renewal offers a welcome boost for the star, following reports that his ITV reality programme The Neighbourhood had been cancelled after just a single series.
The game show, in which six real-life households uprooted themselves to a self-contained street to compete for a £250,000 jackpot, launched in April and initially aired in a coveted 9pm slot.
Yet within a fortnight of its debut, the show was stripped of its prime-time position, amid reports of disappointing viewing figures.
The Mirror subsequently reported that the programme had been axed altogether.
