Not a fan of the second episode. Some funny moments, but overall didn't really work for me. A bit too much audience pandering for me as well. The show looks great though. The camera work and cinematography is top notch.
The worst part though is the american test driver. Seriously get rid of that guy. He isn't funny or interesting. His schtick of anything that isn't an american V8 is communist is downright awful. For a show that loves cars to have a professional racing driver "bash" the Aston Martin Vulcan while driving it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand this aspect of the show at all. I suppose it's Clarkson's way to make fun of Americans, but it's a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
