What is wrong with this show?

All I wanted was some good old bants and comfy road trips. Instead we got ridiculous scripted bullshit with the exact same formular for every single fucking episode so far.

I want to like but FUCK I'm having a hard time doing so.

too much money

Just don't watch it then, cats. you stupid cunt.

I unironically enjoy that they pretend kill pointless celebs instead of giving them actual program time.

iktf

Already dropped it.

It's like old TG, but with all the parts that made TG bad.

>too scripted
>too ridiculous
>not enough car stuff
>horrible shot composition and editing

I can't believe I didn't just torrent this

WHATS WRONG WITH HIM DOCTOR?

They get more each episode in budget than the BBC gave them for an entire season.

When you have fuck loads of budget you don't make up for it in quality writing and good ideas. BBC literally let Clarkson and Co do what they wanted every year.

Amazon will want structure and things which 'appeal' to Americans. That means quality drops in writing and is instead replaced with 'big set pieces'.

Look into your heart, you know it is true.

Aiming for the American appeal was a mistake, British banter is better, instead of this shit it is now.

The newest episode is actually good.

No. The battleship with cars segment was a complete waste of time. And it's becoming pretty fucking clear that the cars are now provided by the companies so they only allow them on the show provided they jump through all the hoops for the car companies (not allowed to reveal the true weight of the cars, not allowed to reveal their actual lap times etc).

It's fucking awful. You can tell right away that the BBC writing crew was what made the original show so entertaining.

go fucking kill yourfelf u fucking faggot, with every episode its better, fucking nigger

I like how you Bryan Adams'd it at the end, faggoth

They should have just made each episode like the specials they did in Top Gear.

Vietnam Special is still TV gold

Whatever you say Kevin

The opening of episode 1 has been the only good part so far

This is what I hoped too.

Also, I think they might be getting old. Especially Clarkson looks awful sometimes, Maybe they didn't have the energy for more roadtrips.

The last two episodes were almost an exact copy of "old" top gear episodes. And Top Gear was always scripted to an extent you edgy faggot.

The complaint isn't about the scripting. Good top gear had a good balance. But The Grand Tour is literally all scripted. Every single aspect down to the gang's reactions to statements or anything is scripted.

>horrible shot composition and editing
This and this only. Painfully mediocre.

why does amrilards and britshits gave a fuck about these clowns?

nobody cares about fucking top gear on hispanic america

This probably.

But the last few episodes were pretty good.
I really liked the battleships segment of the last ep. Really showed what they can do now with the larger budget.

But trying to do Top Gear 2.0 was a mistake.

>And it's becoming pretty fucking clear that the cars are now provided by the companies so they only allow them on the show provided they jump through all the hoops for the car companies
This was always the case with BBC, and they never pretended otherwise. They even talk about it openly during one of the America specials.

>another episode of Sup Forums hates something popular

I'd say that the Hispanic America cares the most about Top Gear.

That's because you have to worry about getting beheaded and how to get into America now that Trump is the new president.

>remember when they trekked Botswana in vintage cars they stripped down
>remember when they trekked Bolivia on garbage cars
>remember when they trekked the Syria/Iraq/Israel on sports cars and ISIS'd them up they became unrecognizable
>remember when they drove motorbikes across Vietnam fucking shits
>remember when they trekked Myanmar and Thailand on crappy lorries
>remember when they used crappy slav cars to attempt to cross into Belaruse into Chernobyl

>remember when they strapped a reliant robin to an enormous fucking rocket and launched it into the sky

Just like the old Top Gear. Take off those rose tinted glasses and go rewatch some episodes. It's always been like this.

Top Gear was scripted but they would relax and veer off script while 50% or 75% through the skit

Grand Tour is relentlessly on point to the script, lots of editing and fast cuts, no quiet moments where they just react to the ridiculousness at hand

Also, I'm not crazy about the tent..... I feel like it needs to contain more audience members, to generate more noise, versus all the canned laughter

This, everything seems really scripted and this celebrity thing is terrible.

>But trying to do Top Gear 2.0 was a mistake.
What exactly were they going to do instead? Prime didn't pick the three of them up for any other reason.

>>>ITT people who like BBC

She went from super cute to disgusting generic whore in like 6 months. Porn is a bad business.

>remember NASCAR SUCKS
>remember them nearly getting gunned down

If only they found new ways to kill jlaw every episode then it would be kino

The problem i have with the scripting is i don't recognize anymore whether they are real buddies or in it just for a paycheck.
