At the end of the day I think Season 1 was a throwaway, likely under contractual and legal constraints by the BBC and again, most shows need a few episodes or a season to find their groove, these three are a known quanitity and will improve to the mean.

As for loving/hating Clarkson, look, Hammond and May probably know him better than anyone else...in the world, and they stick with him. So maybe its a schtick or maybe hes a genuine jerkface, but these three wouldnt have stuck together if there werent redeeming qualities.
Like you say with may and Hammond coming with him, leaving cushy BBC jobs to do it, says a lot. A lot of the backroom staff and production did as well.

He doesn't have a filter and he seems to have a temper, but in general he seems a decent bloke


Excited for the new season less scripted like hhh mentioned would be great

Season 1 was fun and was always going to have a few things to workout
