    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    This infantile show is a far cry from Top Gear. The "American" driver should talk less and drive more. Other than the car reviews, everything else can be fast forwarded through.

    I'm watching now GT and new Top Gear (with Evans and Le Blan) and I'm confused, because I like TG more than GT. Amazon made Clarckson, May and Hammond absolutely not crazy

    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.

    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.
