  1. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth paying £80 for prime?

    It's decent enough, even better when your don't have to pay for it
     
  3. Torrents. Of course, I wouldn't use them....

    Saying that, look up "WB streams" on Facebook, my friend just posted it and it shows the full episode right there!

    Not even torrents, I watched it on a fire stick, using a well know app....
     
  5. I've got a proper paid up Prime membership.....and I didn't watch it.
     
  6. I enjoyed it.

    I have prime, as well as the app Jamie is referring to.
     
  7. Prime isn't available over here yet, so I had to be creative to watch it. Nice enough show, seems like they picked up where Top Gear trailed off in 2013/2014...
     
  8. Watched it and enjoyed it to a certain degree. Just Top Gear format with a little tweak. Cannot believe the hype leading up to this and why it took soooo long just to go the same thing.

    I have prime, mainly for the amazon shopping side for free next day delivery. I order stuff regular and the savings on postage easily pays for my subscription and more.

    I enjoyed it, as said it's just a rebranded Top Gear, it still works will though.
     
  10. That's quite simple: 12 episodes ... Do you even remember when a Top Gear season had 12 episodes? I have to dig deep. It almost skunk every season and that's a shame. I think the Grand Tour did good although I have some points:

    - The tent.
    It's nice but please ... get rid of it ... it was like I've been watching children playing around. Nothing said or done in the tent was funny or entertaining. I know the "old" Top Gear was scripted but at least it was funny! (I'm a person who always skipped the star in a shit car part)

    - The opening.
    This did it didn't it? It summed up the story behind all this perfectly. But it then felled back into something like Top Gear from 3-5 seasons ago. It isn't bad, it really wasn't but when you got THE THREE (P1 etc) ... you must do better than what they did. More drama, more excitement ... for my feeling even the six drag races felt too long.

    Now I'm just waiting for the demolition of Clarckson's house :smiley:

  12. Of course it must have something to do with a rebuild anyway. Again: Scripted but funny :smile:
     
  13. Watched it on Youtube.
    Was hoping for something a little more fresh.
    Like the new test track & how each episode is from a different location.
    Don't like the redneck stig or that they are still doing the star in cheap car shit.
    Still way better than the current Topgear which I find unbearable.
     
  14. Just watched it tonight, felt like it was on for 3 hours, dragged out and Boring
