The BBC just sold me a subscription to Amazon Prime.
I tried watching it, but I just couldn’t. It was that bad.
There is zero chemistry between Evans and LeBlanc. The studio dialogue between them is done so horribly, it’s as if they just dubbed in the table reading.
Someone tell me how a white-Ferrari enthusiast can keep up with a seasoned Nurburgring specialist on an airstrip.
I got partway into the Reliant thing when I just turned it off. Chris Evans has just such a shitty personality. Running around chanting “We got custody! We got custody!” isn’t very cool.
Now bring it on.

Meh, I liked it... As usual with TG, you’re gonna have to give them a bit of time to get chemistry. And I liked Leblanc’s Nomad review.

The early early episodes when James May just joined were great. Sure, they weren’t being childish and entertaining most of the time, but they genuinely did work well as a trio both in a serious manner and an entertaining manner.

As said in a previous thread, sack Evans and replace him with Tiff Needell. The other big thing is that they tried WAY too hard to do what the Three Stooges did. They didn’t try and do their own thing. The parts without Evans were pretty enjoyable to me. But god, he is insufferable. And not even in an entertaining way like Clarkson. Just plain annoying.

The kind of chemistry they had is the exception, not the rule. You cannot except it to be the same... It’s a fresh start, you have to see it as a new show.

Except they’re trying to make it like the old show. I would have loved it if they returned it to what it was in the 20th century, just nothing but cars. That would have been nice.

Yes Tiff would have been the perfect guy... Especially now that he is out of a job...

They are trying to make it like Top Gear... Just like TG USA, Korea, France or Australia... Top Gear is a concept not limited to the 3 stooges.

Tiff Needell, Jenson Button, and Sabine Schmitz. That would be the perfect lineup for me.

Alright, let me revise my last comment.
They were trying to make it like the “three stooges” version of Top Gear, which can only go one of two ways. For me, it went south quickly. What they attempted requires strong chemistry between the hosts, which they didn’t have at all.

Because this is the base of the concept... problem being that this concept only worked once for now, in spite of being tried all around the world.
Give it time, we’ll see how it goes. The Nomad review was entertaining and the second part of the English USA challenge was not bad either.

This Top Gear is in a weird place for me. It could be very good if they do two things. Drop the reality TV bollocks and scale back Evans. He doesn’t have to be in every damn film they shoot.
Also let’s talk about Extra Gear. Extra Gear was fantastic and it’s the proper car show I wanted this Top Gear to be. They have a relevant news section. Interesting automotive pieces and car reviews from the only car reviewers on the show. All which makes me ask. WHY ISN’T IT IN THE MAIN SHOW!?!
Anyway back to Top Gear. You should of watched all the way through because it does get better in places. Matt’s Nomad review was quality and the Jeep vs Series 1 part of US vs UK was what that but should of been and nothing else.
Also back to Evans unfortunately. Cut The Fucking Panto!

I just started watching it, the intro is the same and ripping off Jezza’s humor. I feel dirty watching this. Sabine makes me moist, so I don’t care about that. They said the Vette was better looking than the Viper, uh no.

At this point I’m not even going to bother watching Top Gear tomorrow. Everything I’ve read has made it sound so meh and not worth my time. Time to buy Prime I guess.
