Little disapointing

Had the potential to be 10/10 if they just let the trio do the job with fake bullets and made it unscripted, it would have been so much better.

5 stars for the gags and 5 stars taken away for everything else!

When I saw the first episode, I thought there was a show that was going somewhere good. But the second episode seems to have taken a different path and headed into the wilderness of Whoknowswhere.

Agreed that the gags were fantastic. Every bit as biting, as cutting, as scathing and humorous as these three can get and I loved every moment of it.

Yes, the take on Edge of Tomorrow was funny, in parts, but then, as a cohesive whole, the show as boring. And this was the first time that I wanted to fast forward something made by these three.

Tip: If you really want to know what the Aston Martin Vulcan is made of, head to the TopGear where it was driven and voiced to cinematic perfection by Chris Harris!

Amazon, your money is being wasted

Coming from an old fan, a fan since there was just the tall ape and the small hamster plus a fat man.

I literally fell asleep in the middle of the viewing, resumed today and good God, it was really bad. Acting is cringe worthy, it's like watching Chris Evans again taking over TG.

It's really sad to see, after the first episode turned out decent but the studio part of the show felt forced and not that good.

The crew must step up it's game or they will be sorry they didn't retire.

Amazon should cut their loses, the trio must return to the BBC to the old format. Case closed.

Terribly boring and faked

Don't waste your time watching this. Everything is fake and even if it was real it would have been boring. Nobody wants to see them play dress up army men. We want to see things about the country they are visiting. They might as well have shot the episode at any studio.

Different, but good

It may not be a very good episode for a car show, but it is a solid piece of entertainment

Trivia
For complicated logistical reasons, this is the second show in the season but the first studio segment to be recorded. The Grand Tour chose to kick off in South Africa because the presenters had been here before and knew that the audiences are always super-enthusiastic, as you can hear.
