There's a bit of that, but the main problem for me (as someone who never enjoyed that bit anyway) is the lack of imagination in the challenges/trips. The double episode was just a bit crap, for example.

That was a good episode. I love when they do segments like the one on Clark.
Amazing. Love the new series so far. My dad has Prime, and I may never move out.
I want some battered spag bol
I thought the first Top Gear was good, but my Prime has lapsed so no more of that oh well.
That's one of the best specials they've ever done.
I quite enjoyed it.
Any news on whether the show will be renewed?
It has been renewed and they are scrapping the tent part of the show and only doing specials from now on. No timed laps,conversation street or May's brilliant automotive history bits.
That's a good sign of the show's future, then.
Hmm. I liked both.
You all need to go and watch the latest episode that just came out. Just watch it.
Yes but after you watch it,you will understand what i am on about.
Last 5 minutes tugged into the heart strings for sure.
Hadn’t it already been posted about in this thread?
They’re changing it so it’s just episodes like the specials, with no tent, times track laps or audience.
Basically they announce that the current format of the tent with the audience,laptimes and car chat is scrapped and they are only going to do big adventure specials.But you can see Clarkson tear up while saying this and showing a montage of the their best moments throughout the years with footage from Top Gear being added as well and they did mention BBC by name.But it was presented in such a way that was genuinely moving and could make a grown man cry.
It was nice that they got some BBC clips for their montage.
I can only assume they wanted to continue in its current format, but Amazon said no. Which for me is the right decision.
The last special trip they did was good, up there with the best ones (Botswana, S.America). If they can do more in that style then I might start watching again, it felt less obviously scripted than everything they've done since the switch to Amazon.
The new Top Gear line-up works weirdly well.
I meant to post about it in here. There's a bit of the "LOOK WE'RE DOING BANTER!!!" because they're still working on it but I actually haven't minded it so far.
I can't bring myself to watch it.
I was going to swerve it but then my Sky box recorded it for me so I stuck it on. The second episode was a bit more "lol banter lads" than I'd have liked but the first was solid enough.
Haven't seen an episode this series and I never will.
It’s on my watch list after my Dad said it was good.
The two episodes so far are, if nothing else, much more watchable than the worst bits of the original trio (either as latter-day Top Gear or the low points of Grand Tour) or anything involving Chris Evans.
I don't know what I want from a car show. We've seen it all.
I honestly gave up on them a good while ago.
Because I'm a car nerd I prefer a lot of the stuff on youtube from Chris Harris, Henry Catchpole etc.

I watched the first episode after hammond and co left and never returned
I fucking hate online singles.
Have I said that before?
EDIT: Ignore me.

Online singles?
The Top Gear Nepal thing was pretty good, and lol out loud at some of the overtaking in the first section. Absolute maniacs.
Still haven’t seen an episode of the LAD version of TG. Probably would have if it was any way handy to watch them on a catch up thing though.
Yeah, I lost all interest as soon as Flintoff and McGuiness were announced.
Annoying as I preferred it to The Grand Tour (I don't think I watched any of last season).
Flintoff and McGuinness are both fine in the bits where it's just one of them with and Harris but together they're annoying yobbo bantertwats.
I've never really watched much of the newer ones, I just stick with the Chris Harris youtube stuff that appears.
By the end I quite liked Joey Tribbiani on it.
The Seamen thing wasn’t great.
I bet they thought that name was absolutely hilarious too.
