I can't stand it because I keep thinking they are talking about the good looking Chris Evans so I open the link to be confronted with that Chris Evans.

LBR Jeremy will gloat no matter what :)

My hope is that both shows will razz each other and such, but that it will eventually be a lighthearted sort of thing, perhaps even a few crossovers, get a real rivalry going for the fans to enjoy. It doesn't feel like that now. It might take some time

I thought the first ep was pretty cringe, but it made me laugh a couple of times, I'll definitely give it a chance, maybe they'll come into their own.

1) they need a third "character"
2) chris has to stop trying to be clarkson and find his own "voice" (also not try to antagonize people for more views - it's just chasing off fans, he can't be a low rent clarkson, he should just be himself)
3) find their THING - right now it feels like a cheap knockoff of the old Top Gear. they need to find their own way, idk what that will be, but they must have something original to bring to it

the guy in the middle looks like he has a brain tumor

And weirdly, now that it aired, everyone liked Matt! That was not what I expected. (Everyone hated Chris, but that was obvious.)

Don't they have a bunch of other hosts now, too?

I dont get it

Can anyone explain why this show is such a big deal? It just seems like a stupid show about cars and stuff. Typical dude bro type of thing.

Why is this so popular in fandom circles (which are mostly female and don't usually care about cars and gears type of stuff) and why do I keep seeing this show brought up all the time? Comparable shows where I live definitely don't have a fandom and and if they do, the fans are certainly not female.

Lots of guys like it. Fandom w/ women tends to find one or more of the hosts attractive. But overall, I think all the fans over whatever the gender mostly just like the humor of the show. If you've watched it, it's "about cars" but in a large part, it's about silly humor. Think "three men in a boat" with cars.

It's slightly dudebro-ish, but the appeal of it goes beyond cars. To me, Top Gear is a sort of lowest common denominator type of entertainment. You don't need to be a gearhead to get it. You don't even need to know anything about cars, because it's all pretty basic: expensive cars driven at high speeds by morons.

a) it's ridiculously funny
b) the hosts (the previous trio) are entertaining, clever, have good chemistry, and can be found appealing by women (cos tastes vary, you know)
c) it's beautifully filmed
d) it's really quite funny

e) if you see the original airing, they use awesome music.
