There’s no doubt that Clarkson is one of the best motoring journalists on the planet and it’s in this expertise and not his increasingly flabby prejudices that his true wit lies. The producers obviously think we need some more of the latter, however.
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.

Truly excellent show. Each season getting better than the last as they iron out the kinks, but even the lesser episodes are still better than most shows. The better episodes (most of them) being seriously great.

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.
Time to gingerly crack open the shed door and see what they’re up to in there. Nothing of great note is the answer, at least in the opening episode, which takes the barnacled bros to Detroit to mess about in muscle cars. As always, it’s lushly filmed, with a fine eye for a startling location.
You will spend more time laughing then watching just don't eat popcorn while watching

If you are a fan of Topgear (pre Clarkson's removal by the BBC) then you will like The Grand Tour. It's got a higher budget and better shot overall. The best episodes are the specials - with the usual crazy adventures. Not so much of a fan of "Converstaion Street", felt all a bit scripted. This is the worst problem with The Grand Tour compared to old Top Gear; The feeling of everything being scripted is a theme of The Grand Tour. The fact that old Top Gear had this feeling of more impromptue events and dialogue, even if that feeling is misplaced. That is why The Grand Tour is not a good as top gear. I love the charisma between the 3 presenters, but it just isnt what it used to be. Now we are at season 4 and its starting to feel a bit tired, the team need to think of somthing to spice it up or it's lifespan may be coming to it's end. Having said that, i still love James, Jeremy and Hammond. Lets hope they find a way of putting life into this series again!
