I thought it was pretty good, especially for a first show. Yes, Chris Evans needs to settle himself down - too hyper and too loud, but I'm sure he's got that message. Matt Leblanc was really quite good, IMO - well-spoken, knowledgeable, charismatic, and, because he's an actor, he can read from a script and make it sound natural. I love the new off-road segments to the track. The SIARPC segment was getting boring - this adds a new life to it.

Keep in mind the first few seasons of top gear were pretty bad - it took a while for them to assemble a cast and get comfortable with each other. I think there's a potential for a great show here, once they work out the bugs.
