The Grand Tour on Amazon video... SPOILERS!
« on: November 20, 2016, 09:55:06 am »
I watched the first episode of the Grand Tour with Clarkson, Hammond and May.  It is the same old fun they had on Top Gear, which is good.  The Stig has been replaced by foul mouthed American stock car veteran Mike Skinner.  His driving was cool, his commentary was over the top and unnecessary except to make this show seem different from Top Gear.  The first episode could have been trimmed down a bit - they didn't need to "kill" more than one celebrity.  One bit I especially enjoyed was when they "shot down" their own drone.  That would be a great running gag. 


Has anyone else sen it?

Brick - to watch it you log into Amazon, you know the online retail website.  If you have Amazon Prime, it's free.  If not, I don't know.  New episodes every Thursday.  You can watch anytime.

It wasn't bad. It was much the same as before. The new test driver didn't do much for me. Some of the jokes were as funny as before, but I think there are some things they'll need to tweak to get the same quality. The cinematography was excellent, and I hear it's even better if you have a 4K display.

You might have to go down there and show him....

I kid, Brick is probably doing more tech-savvy things than I am with all that free time on his hands.

I'll check it out when my 300 hour backlog on the DVR gets widdled down :)
