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.
