Amazon did the right thing at the right time: convincing Clarkson, Hammond and May to make the Grand Tour was easily one of the best decisions they have ever made.
Is it like Top Gear? Yes, in many ways. But it's also very different (it sort of has to be for the sake of copyright): no Stig, no putting stars in reasonably priced cars, etc. However, I'd be lying if I said the three didn't make up for what they've lost. Subtle jokes hinting at the old show are sprinkled throughout the first episode, and the humour is spot-on as always. It honestly feels like they've never left.
The bigger budget is obvious and the production team is just as good, if not better, as the old one from BBC. All shots look great and the editing is perfect.
All in all, a must-watch 'continuation' of the epic franchise that was Top Gear, don't miss it!
