Summary
Reviewers say 'The Grand Tour' is praised for its grand scale, stunning visuals, and the return of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May's chemistry. Fans enjoy the show's humor, adventure, and passion for automobiles. However, some critics argue it feels overly scripted, less spontaneous, and repetitive. There are complaints about the focus shifting from cars to more comedic and less informative content. Despite these criticisms, many viewers find the show enjoyable and a worthy successor to 'Top Gear'.

Imagine what would happen if the famous three were told by Amazon to do what they want and spend as much as you like - because clearly that's what happened here and the end result is AWESOME!
Everything is Hollywood in scale and execution. From the writing to the action set pieces, it almost has a slight Michael Bay feel to it.
All three presenters are on top form but Clarkson is clearly still the star.
'So is it basically just like Top Gear?'I hear you say. And the answer is 'yes', but imagine Top Gear better than it's ever been. The only negative is no Stig. There is Stig-like replacement but it's just not the same.
Otherwise, this show is off to an AMAZING start. Highly recommended.

I will not spoil anything for anyone other than - the final swansong for these amazing guys was without a shadow of doubt the absolute best episode of the lot. If you have anything harsh or nasty to say about this show and the 3 guys who have entertained us for 22 years - keep it to yourself. We should be thankful that we had them at all. Jeremy, Richard and of course James - Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and for all the times you made us laugh, cry, upset, jump for joy, LOL and so on these will be precious memories that shall not ever fade from our hearts. The Grand Tour team was one of a kind and what a way to end the journey!
At last - Clarkson, Hammond and May are back on our screens, and they're better than ever. Considering Amazon's budget dwarfs that of the BBC, you can imagine just how impressive their new show is.
If the first episode is anything to go by, they have successfully managed to retain everything that was good about the old Top Gear in 'The Grand Tour', especially the humour and the chemistry between the three which made the old show the success it was. My biggest fear was that the new show would lose this and become too 'Americanised', but fortunately this hasn't happened.
The camera work is phenomenal and the opening sequence was like something out of a movie. I also think the idea to take the show on the road is a nice touch. An incredible start - I already can't wait for next week's episode.

Yeah, first season left me a bit dissapointed. The first episode in general was really good and there where signs of hope along the tour of season 1 but in the end it just felt too scripted. And it seems they heard it, just look at the episode unscripted, it seems they really took the criticsm to heart.
Second season is full of all the stuff that i loved in Top Gear. Its fun, fast, slightly ridiculous, some times scary but really really just great entertainement. Love it, keep it up!

The brand was not so much the name of the previous show... The brand is this lot here making the best motoring show ever. Well done for Amazon who quickly managed to get them on board.
Without any spoilers: It is exciting, it feels familiar - yet new. Thrilling might be right word, but again - even if you sit these three around a table and let them talk about cats for an hour - they'll surely deliver.
I think what most viewers would be hoping for is a fair dose of craziness, but also exploring new heights.
I am not being objective, but yet again, who is? If you loved TG then you'll love GT....
Looking forward to seeing the trio do excitingly new challenges!
