I thought it was decent, took it back closer to the format when JC was in charge. Better than LeBlanc who was more false than Freddy was last night, and always turned it into a US cars better than European cars debate, and much better than Evans.
I agree that Freddy is not suited to studio presenting but nor was LeBlanc - He was much better in the filmed stuff though. I think Chris Harris is the best man to do the actual reviews, enjoyed his piece on the Ferrari and Maclaren.
A shame that they don't seem to be doing a random celebrity in a car though, used to enjoy that, broke up the program a bit.
I think because it was the first week they wanted to do a "special"type episode. Next week i believe there will be 2 guests and the track lap segment as per the traditional setup. |

Watched short 6 episode German comedy (satirical) on Netflix called "How to sell drugs online (fast)"
Worth a watch.

Just finished Killing Eve season 2, even now not sure whether it is really good or just absurd!
The lack of little denim shorts this series may have clouded my viewpoint?

Echo what has been said about Chernobyl. Fascinating, frightening and absolutely horrifying.
Did anyone watch When They See Us? Another terrible indictment of the American justice system, as if another one was needed. One thing that didn't sit quite right though was the glossing over what happened in the park with that group. I guess it was difficult as they didn't want to suggest any of the five had been involved, it just seemed a bit of a cop out.

Yes. I've found it quite interesting in terms of the intelligence stuff. Stick with it. Good to see Gomorrah is back. Can't beat sharp haircuts and some intense staring. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

3 episodes in to new Top Gear and Freddie is getting more annoying. I cannot stand him. Paddy is not much better.
They seem to gang up on Chris, who to me should be at the forefront of the show but they seem to belittle him every chance they get. Its just unconformable viewing.

They're trying to copy the Clarkson, Hammond & May mould of three blokes pratting about in cars, and I'm not sure that I like it.

At-least Chris is the only one they trust to drive the performance cars. |
