Clarkson, Hammond, and May’s love for machinery--and what human machinery indicates, which is adventure and expansiveness--is still present, pure, and appealing, even with the shift in networks and formats. ... Its ethos is also wrapped up in Clarkson’s glee at having escaped punishment, and in his mockery of the Prius and the bicycle for not being devoted to consuming fossil fuels as quickly and loudly as possible. The show is an embodiment of the self-righteousness of wrongheadedness.
Clarkson, Hammond, and May’s chemistry and on-camera talent can’t be denied. They are very good at what they do, and the show itself would be innocent fun for car buffs and reality fans alike. But the question The Grand Tour invites in, with its brash mockery of past controversy, is how comfortable you are watching arrogant, wealthy, white men traverse the globe in insanely expensive toys and behaving like 12-year-old boys.

Season 1 was meh. Season 2 was better. Season 3 is incredible. The true epitome of what a motoring show should be and what the "Grand Tour" is all about. The variety of episodes with the specials, the shorts, the conversations. Nailed it. Interested to see what the future holds after that last episode!

SEASON 1
Top Gear presented by these same gentlemen was a Hallmark in Car Shows. I didn't think anyone would have be able to replicate the mojo they brought to television in talking about and promoting everything that is cars, although I did think that towards the last few seasons, they had lost a bit of their touch. But surprise Surprise, they have outdone even themselves with The Grand Tour. This show is Bigger, Better, colorful and grandeur than Top Gear. It just goes on to show hat when you are really good at something no one can better you except yourself.

SEASON 1
It's just the best show about cars on the planet. Just turn it on and enjoy it. The specials around the world are amazing and lets pay respect to Clarkson, Hammond and May considering their age and a passion and effort they put to this show. It's just incredible. I wish they will stay active for a long time and the day when we'll say that they are legends is still far away.

SEASON 1
Typical Clarkson-style Top Gear of the past 5 years, with added layers of absurdity. The hosts and the unscripted banter remain as endearing as endearing as always, and there's certainly plenty of creative ideas that only this group would produce.
However, personally I found their attempts at scripted comedy got tiring and old quickly, without the BBC's producers to reign them in and keep them focused. Hopefully future seasons improve, but the first season fell short, and was just plain painful to watch at times.
Even with the shortcomings, worth watching for Top Gear fans.

SEASON 1
It feels too scripted, and it's frankly speaking, quite unfunny. A few giggles here and there, are ruined by the obviousness of the scripted comedy. The American test driver is a poor choice, as he is about as funny as a sad funeral. I heard talk about a really huge budget, but I wonder, where is that money spent?

SEASON 1
Perhaps entertaining if your 13 or American. A classic example of how our transatlantic cousins demonstrate that they never deserved to be more than a colony.
