About this show

It began life in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Relaunched in 2002 in a longer format, it pulled in an international audience of around 150 million viewers around the world. Irreverent, witty and unbiasedly honest, the Top Gear team and The Stig take cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're any good or not. If you want to know how big the boot is, look elsewhere. Full of stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive and passionate, giving authoritative information, entertainment and no little style.

I've been a long time viewer. Loved it up to season 23. Current season (23) is worse than awful. I don't hate it. I'm actually just bored. No chemistry. No humor. No inappropriate jokes. No fun. No reasonably priced car. No homemade funny challenges. LeBlanc is ok. And Sabine is fun. But they can't save the canned writing, the fact that this season feels like they are trying to wear dad's suit and that the original stuff they tried to do doesn't work and the old stuff they kept just belong to the other guys

I had to give the new Top Gear (Season 23) a fair shot and just as I suspected, it was terrible. Chris Evans isn't really great at all. He's got tons of enthusiasm but just isn't a good fit for Top Gear. The whole thing actually feels super scripted and forced. Without the dynamic trio of Jeremy, James and Richard there just isn't a Top Gear. I'm looking forward to the Amazon series those three have been working on.

This is rubbish. Even Matt Leblanc left for a new sitcom in the USA. But the lucky 3 stooges cannot do wrong. Jeremy gets canned, James and Richard leave, and they end up at Amazon for a lot more money. Was it planned? Maybe.These guys are smart. Glad I have Amazon Prime. $99 a year is worth Amazon video alone. With the Grand Tour... over the top. Don't buy this NEW Top Gear. Watch it for free on BBC America, then puke.
