I thought the appeal of Top Gear was the fact that none of the hosts are particularly good people, but that they seemed to have fun in a way that rubs off on the viewer, as long as the viewer is a cis-het-white-male who doesn't think too much about anything presented in the show.
Also I highly recommend the episode where they go to china, which was made in 2018 i think, after the move to Amazon Prime. You get to see China's progress in real time, and hear Clarkson lament the doom of Britain in particular, since his local street has potholes that are older than half of China's highway system.
the :ukkk: hosts are what make the show good though (except clarkson, he's not even funny and is just a massive removed)
edit: oh yeah fair enough, yeah that word does kind of have misogynistic connotations, I probably shouldn't use it in future

Personally I find Hammond the most insufferable, he's a literal castle owning Tory lol.
Oh I didn't know Hammond owned a castle, I quite liked him until now :sadness:
