I've watched season one on Amazon Prime. Not bad but nowhere near as good as they were on Top Gear.

It feels to me very 'made for American TV' and over the top and has lost a lot of the authentic feeling that it usually had in the past (although I know it's always been scripted it never felt as forced as the new stuff does).

Plus at least with the old TG even though they did crazy stuff you still learnt a thing or two about current cars where this is basically exclusively crazy stuff and has dropped all pretense of being an educational car show.

Having said all that I enjoyed watching it, and it was a million times better than the current incarnation of TG, but we all want what they used to have and it's clear that that is gone forever...
