Not "new top gear" levels of bad, but the jokes became a bit too repetitive, and they steered a bit too far away from cars in their main segment. I agree. I rationalized it by thinking, "Maybe they're trying to seem different at the outset of their show for intellectual property reasons." That explains the very long, very mediocre segment in Jordan. Also, that helps explains why there hasn't been a celebrity on for a chat. Overall, I felt the episode was okay but certainly not great. | ||

I know Top Gear was always extremely edited, scripted, etc. But it always had the casual, off-the-cuff feel to it. This episode was just not what I want from these guys. A badly-scripted comedy show that takes its laughs and its audience for granted. Best part of the episode was, of course, the car. That Vulcan Aston was some glorious car-porn. But I loved the first episode, and am hoping that the rest of the season is more like that first episode. | ||

The best Top Gear episodes to me were the international challenges or the group build ones which were just good fun. If they nail those, I'll be a happy camper. | ||

This episode was great as i am pretty much Hammond 2.0 i hate Nissan Juke drivers and the car in general and i am a sucker for American Muscle cars. The hellcat was beautiful in terms of looks and sound, not saying the Aston wasn't nice (lol brown) but i would choose the hellcat over any of those! | ||

The new celebrity race thing has potential, but fuck me it needs a better guest than Hasselhoff. There was more of the banter that makes the show great, both in studio and in the main film, so that is always good. However, there is still way too much scripting in the movie. The entire closed tunnel, bad road with the Lamborghini ground clearance and returning to the town three times because of the supercharger all was so forced and weird. I know there always was scripting in Top Gear, but it never felt as obvious and as forced as it did all of the 1st season and in this episode, let's see if they can improve that some more. | ||
