Have you watched the first 2-3 seasons of new TGUK? They're particularly miserable, it takes time to find that on camera chemistry and 2/3 of them aren't actors. UK had the benefit of ~5 years of being a 'pokey little motoring show on BBC2' while TGUS had high expectations going in, especially after seasons 10-15 of TGUK.
Glad to hear it's picked up since I stopped watching.

you don't have to have a James May, Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, and a Stig to be called "Top Gear". You need those to be called "Top Gear UK".
I am fully aware of the first seasons of Top Gear UK. Any enthusiast with netflix should be ashamed of themselves if they are ignorant to them.
Top Gear US, needs those type of seasons to get comfortable with eachother and develop their OWN kind of relationships and personality. Not mimic.
