The Grand Tour (2016)
Brilliant initially but now has become utter unbelievable
It was a joy to see them back with surprises and testing top notch cars. The comedy was brilliant and a lovely way to spend time watching the trio (stooges) tongue in cheek bantering.
However the show has become stupid and so phoney. Imagine showing James May spinning out of control over a cliff and yet within a few hours later, all is well. This ludicrous script gets repeated by the others in other episodes and then one realise the whole show is actually rigged. Virtually nothing is real and most of it is staged.
It gets repeated and repeated with worn out antics like them stealing towels and items from a hotel. Also they raced useless beach buggies and other irrelevant vehicles testing the times when it became obvious the race were indeed not real and stages throughout.
The Grand Tour has become a joke with these super rich men using their fame to draw old timers in. How sad it has become.
Top Gear (2017)
The show sucks big time !
The original format where the three presenters emulating the three stooges formula seem to have vanished leaving an utterly boring program of cars you have seen on other car shows.
When I say boring I meant it in the superlative way possible. Imagine seeing them talking so monotonous about details (useless unconfirmed figures by the participating car companies), laughing forcefully for utterly no reason and repeating the mindless pathetic dialogue script to the end of the show.
Surely the producers could have pick a few experts from the original British show and brought the same magic into it?
Top Gear under Chris Evans was never the same since Jeremy was sacked but at least it was not as bad as Top Gear America now.
Ironically is Top Gear under Matt Le Blanc and his sidekicks Chris and Rory have finally brought back the loveable joy to watching the show. There are times when one have admit it is better than The Grand Tour.
Comedy timing and delivery style with personality is hard?
Then why not learn from the Matt Le Blanc team?
