Episode 3 was awesome. Busted out laughing at least 4 times.

Episode 4 has been the best of the bunch so far. Hilarious.

Guess I'm in the minority, but I think The Grand Tour has been pretty bad. Seems like the budget has gone to their heads and everything seems forced. Too many takes, I guess, so it seems way more scripted than Top Gear was with the three.

I too think it seems way more scripted and forced than before. It always was but seemed more natural on top gear. It almost feels like they are trying to live up to themselves instead of actually being themselves.

That's why episode 4 has been the best. Seemed more old school than the prior ones.


It's way way way better than their replacement and is still an entertaining show.

The sports car bit is always ruined by Clarkson and his obsession with alfas. Every time they do one is the worst film of the season.

Can we get Clarkson to stay out of at least one film this season??? He added nothing to the sports car or Mustang films

I think May's segment was my favorite of the season so far. 'Murica

That was a great segment on the ford gt. Hated the christmas bit.

While the eco friendly car bit was entertaining, hammond cruising europe in the hellcat got me fully on board for this new show.

Finally caught up. The Ford episode was good.

I really enjoyed the Namibia special.

There have definitely been some hits and misses, it almost feels like they're trying too hard. I didn't really like the first Namibia episode (although the beer part cracked me up) but the second episode was a blast.

it seems that Hammond is actually pissed at Clarkson and not just 'fish heads under the seat' mad. Does make for good TV though.

The Top Gear specials were always contrived, but they managed to make some of it feel real. The first part of the Namibia special made it feel like they only had permits to drive one stretch of beach, and had to milk it for every ounce of screen time. It felt like a jumping the shark moment.

They kinda admitted as much when they hit the salt flats.

Finally got around to start watching. Watched the 2nd episode last night, didn't really like it at all. The bit with the military training camp in Jordan just seemed to drag on forever. What the hell was even the point of that whole segment?

Just a humorous segment as a parody of Edge of Tomorrow. That's all, really.

This comment feels extremely appropriate again. No comparison or even screen time for the new Jag XE in a very competitive class, just so Jezza could slobber all over another Alfa.

The conversation street shadow art of Hammond was surprisingly amusing.

Just finished the beach buggy episodes. Had to fast forward those a few times, got pretty boring.

that was a horrible film and Clarkson should be fined once episodes pay for thinking that was an idea at all

I could watch Hammond and May battle Clarkson on Alpha Romeo every episode. I love how much trash they talk about them and that Clarkson will not stop loving them.

I chuckled at the sat nav scene, but the launch control literally made me laugh out loud.
