i am a HUGE Top Gear fanboi and have the entire collection from Season 1. Its fascinating to see the progression of the series from when they started without James May, and in a warehouse with a handful of people milling about, to the current big budget, packed studio setup. I think last season was superb, which makes episode one of Season 21 all the more disappointing.
not sure if any of you have watched it ? if not....SPOILERS BELOW
i found S21E01 to be childish and annoying towards the end. I love when they build stuff and it all goes horribly wrong, like with their "carboat" challenges. but all of those felt real and genuine. the rubbish in this past episode felt so painfully contrived that it was awkward :-( i really hope that the season improves dramatically, coz it surely cannot get more cringeworthy?
