How many shows of this nature are brilliant from the off?
Go back and watch the early Clarkson, May, Hammond episodes (or even earlier before May joined) and see if you think that was TV gold.
I'd give this a go if I were you, as whilst it wasn't the best Top Gear ever, it wasn't the worst and as Shane says above, it beats anything else on the idiot lantern on a Sunday night. It will feature good cars and interesting things.
Also, something that no one has mentioned yet, the cinematography remains excellent, so worth watching for that alone in my humble pinion (depends on what you're into).
As the OP said, go in with an open mind.
The Clarkson years are dead because he lost his temper. That's no one's fault but his. The BBC couldn't let his actions go unpunished.
