Top Gear - Season 24

[Ounce]

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum but seems good enough of a fit.  Did anyone else catch the latest episode (won't air on BBC America until next week for those without other methods for watching) with the new group?  I thought it was a huge improvement over the reboot with Chris Evans last year.  Much better chemistry now that the loudmouth is gone.  

I'm a big Chris Harris fan already so having him get more screen time and lead off the begining was great for me.  The segment with the FXXK was absolutely amazing.  I was grinning ear to ear hearing that beautiful engine rip through the gears.  

I thought the return of the original test track was a good move, though I've never really cared that much for the "star in a car" pieces. 

The Kazakhstan part was really solid overall with some decent humor.  Some of it still seems a bit forced between the presenters but chemistry isn't made overnight and I think it will improve as the season goes on.  The filming and production for this part were really incredible, great overall narrative and the shots of the salt bed and rocket launch were very well done.  

Overall I think they are back on the right track, looking forward to the rest of the season.
