When its trying to be a show about cars , its good . Honestly , the only change is to dump the american and change it to The Skinner . Let the man work without having to be a caricature of what people think Americans are like . When it tries to be an entertainment show , its a very strong meh . Sometimes i get a good laugh , but it always feels like something is missing , and its usually the cars . The Celebrity death skits , the Jordan skit today all felt pretty forced and , honestly , just not that good . It feels like theyre trying to really stretch out the chemistry of the 3 , but its showing signs of straining . Especially with May , I feel like they ' re really hitting him hard compared to Hammond and Clarkson . When it tried to be a car entertainment show , however , I think everything really shines . The Holy Trinity part of episode 1 really felt like they had picked up where they left off . Jordan felt like they went too far too fast , and they threw in the S 8 because they needed a car for the skit . Its season 1 , theres bound to be some bumps as the trio find their way . I ' m not worried , but i do feel like things need to be toned down a bit . I look forward to the 3 car challenges that might be coming up . Also stop killing off celebrities . It was funny the 1 st time , its not funny on the 4 th , and by the 10 th it ' ll be annoying .
