Are You Still Watching The Grand Tour?

With the first series of Clarkson, Hammond and May's new car show over the half way point, we wondered how many of you guys are still tuned in
Are You Still Watching The Grand Tour?

There have been some Grand Tour episodes I’ve not been too fond of thus far, but the two part Namibia special that’s just been on seemed like a high point. It felt just like ‘old times’, albeit with more budget and a little more swearing.

Clarkson, Hammond and May were at their witty best, the familiar chemistry backed up with some great action, truly epic cinematography and a dash of drama. But here’s the thing: I had to do a little catching up on the series to reach that point, as I’d fallen behind.

Are You Still Watching The Grand Tour?

This perhaps shouldn’t be surprising: all series - whether they’re on a conventional TV channel or a streaming service - tend to have a decline in viewership after the first episode in a season, and it seems The Grand Tour isn’t immune. There are no viewing figures available from Amazon Prime, but certainly on CT we’ve noticed fewer people talking about the show, and a diminishing interest in the episode trailers when they crop up.

Like I said, nothing unusual: the ‘hype train’ has to depart at some point. But with the first series now a few episodes over the half way point, we thought we’d see how many of you are still keeping up with it, especially since the trio’s switch from TV to online is going to have a big effect on how you consume the content they make.

So, assuming you have been watching the series already, make your voice heard in the polls below, and then let us know your thoughts in the comments.

If Amazon sees people very little people are watching The Grand Tour, it’s probably because people are watching it illegally

I still watch TGT because i simply love cars, but somehow it doesn’t have the spark TG had with those 3. Yes they are funny and the chemistry between them is amazing, but the shows are a bit…poor. Celebrity brain crash doesn’t amuse anyone and they could maybe make more reviews on cars. I think the show has a lot of trips, cause in every episode they travel somewhere and it gets a bit anoying…

cars are the issue no one cares about them anymore, look at flop gear 23 and all the boring reviews they did fact.

Yes I am watching! And I am loving it so far. The 2nd and 4th episodes were meh but the others were superb. Episode 5 and 6 especially were exceptionally good! Looks like the guys are finally settling in and episode 6 was proof of that. Obviously there are some things that aren’t good like the Celebrity crash thing and the American and I hope they go away in the next season. Apart from that, I’m enjoying it.

After the second and third episodes I lost all interest in TGT. I finally caught up again over the holiday period and I must say episode 6 was far more what I was expecting from this series from the beginning, but tbh those first few snore-fest episodes have ruined it for me and I don’t have a huge interest in actually keeping up with the series.

I still watch it. But they need to get rid of the american and need to do something different with the celebrity brain crash.

You bet I am. Although a lot of people are upset that it’s not a carbon copy of old TG (for some reason), I think it’s great. I’m not a big fan of “the American” because the stereotypes involved with him are really stale, but everything else about the show is basically spot-on.

Other than the tranquilizer part of the Namibia special it was fantastic
