I agree with all of the points, however, I do have a theory that Celebrity Brain Crash was kept on as a long troll on the BBC. I, for one, do not think Clarkson & Co. are above that sort of thing.

Primarily, it was fine. Not excellent (although elements were), not dreaful (though elements were), but fine. I’ll watch the second season; most of us will. The first season of old new Top Gear wasn’t perfect, either, by any means, but I think there’s a middle balance between the two that could benefit the show.

It definitely missed more than it hit, IMO, but improved as it went on. I think with time to recalibrate between the seasons they will get rid of shit that doesn’t work (celebrity brain crash, the american, shitty over the top staged challenges like the 3 off-roaders made of meat, plants, and brick) and stick to what…

I FFed the last few episodes. The last was set in Dubai, I’m thinking...oh yeah some hypercar madness....but no, a golf and an i3.

Amazon has announced JF, that it the highest rated show in their history it was noted that it in the millions said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos who bought a good Top Gear Rehash by Clarkson.

I'm trying to think of something intelligent to say by way of a reply to the fact-vacuum you just shat from your mouth.

For the sake of the audience who wants further detail, I figured I'd chime in here.

Because you make him look that way. Dick.
