Sonia Saraiya

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. Read full review

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.

I absolutely love the show. The bickering between Clarkson, May and Hammond is nothing but entertaining. The best one so far was the film about the Jags: obviously, they lack tremendously in quality, but the three managed to ignore this with such a persistence... that was really great.

I know, it is a scripted show, they made even fun about this, but it is highly entertaining and it delivers spectacular shots of both cars and scenery. I love it in the English original and the political incorrectness is nothing but refreshing.… Expand

Fun, Funny, and Ambitious! While it is similar to the old Top Gear, they do some new things. And with a large budget, the cinematography is absolutely beautiful. If you like cars and shenanigans, this is the show for you! It is light years beyond the new Top Gear with Chris Harris. That showFun, Funny, and Ambitious!

It is light years beyond the new Top Gear with Chris Harris. That show was absolute rubbish.

Ignore the SJW critics that are triggered over Clarkson's exit from BBC. You can't trust them to be unbiased because they are clickbait. Also, a lot of more credible critic reviews have not been added to Metacritic at this time for one reason or another. For this show, in the meantime, trust the user reviews.

The show will be available on Amazon around the world in December. Some people have reported that a free trial from Amazon UK still allows you to watch the show, regardless of IP. Definitely worth subscribing to Amazon Prime and not just for the free shipping. This isn't a paid endorsement, just my personal opinion.

Have fun and enjoy the show!… Expand

Honestly, nothing bad to say. I'm glad they kept with the cinematography style from Top Gear. And we can also see they made great use of their budget. And it even looks even better than Top Gear in my opinion.

Seeing some reviews criticizing irrelevant details like how the cast is all white or the controversy surrounding Clarkson but, the show is good.

Make no mistake there is obvious scripting and what not yet I've been surprised every now and then by documentaries like the Lancia one whichSeeing some reviews criticizing irrelevant details like how the cast is all white or the controversy surrounding Clarkson but, the show is good.

Make no mistake there is obvious scripting and what not yet I've been surprised every now and then by documentaries like the Lancia one which are by themselves amazing. Don't expect the specials from top gear or having as many episodes in the frequency they used to have. The show is all about the trio and their misadventures and I've been enjoying the ride so far, bumpy roads and all!… Expand

While the scripted parts of the show are scattershot at best, the prefect chemistry between hosts Clarkson, Hammond and May as well as Amazon’s lavish spending makes The Grand Tour one entertaining ride.

Grand Tour takes the gang's Top Gear self indulgence to a new level and is too long.

Still liked it though and I look forward to the next eleven weeks.

As overrated as it's fanbase is biased and stupid.
The show should've died with the disrespectful host.
Not funny at all.
