No spoilers I believe.
With the exception of the second episode, which was entertaining— but not really a car show— GT has seemed awkwardly similar to the old TG. Many of us were skeptical after the first few episodes, but personally, I am now sold.
It finally clicked in my mind. A big part of the humor is that they decided to make the same show they had with the BBC, but more authentic. And instead of avoiding the trademarks they lost in the “divorce”, they satirize every bit by taking it to its corniest extreme.
Conversation Talk.
Killing the celebrity guest to avoid an interview.
Not the Stig jokes about the American, who is the Stig’s opposite as he talks too much.
Back to the studio™ tent.
And with that
bombshell™
terrible disappointment, it’s time to end.
Rather than concede their ideas to the BBC and TG forever, they just make the same joke while giving their former employers a theatrical middle finger of sorts. They walk right up to the legal limit and wave hello.
What did you all think of it?

I think that mint green E39 from the eco race was very lovely and I kind of wish mine was that same color.

I’m done with The Grand Tour. Top Gear was getting stale and rather than try something new they’ve just kept on doing the same stale bits they’ve been doing for the last few years.
Plus I’m not really that eager to see each new episode and I’m skipping about half of each episode so continuing to pay for Amazon Prime is just dumb from my point of view.

I’m not quite sure it’s one of the best episodes by the three ever but it’s by far the best GT episode. The build-a-car challenges are always the best anyway.
I agree with you on all the satirical parts, if that’s really what they were going for then it’s about 10x better.

I’ll take your word for it. They’ve lost me to Roadkill. And Jeremy Clarkson is a knob and I’m tired of him.

James said “Oh cack” instead of “Oh cock.”
