Not sure I'll bother again if it's going to be like this.
I agree.

The second episode had a couple of good segments, but it got on my wick.

Self indulgent is about right. It's also more aimed at the American audience in my opinion (understandable given the paymaster needs its revenue!).

People criticised the Chris Evans Top Gear, but a number of the episodes were better than this week's Grand Tour in my opinion.

Hopefully they'll settle back into producing some good shows, but this week reminded me why I'd grown weary of Top Gear when it was still Clarkson, Hammond and May.
