Finally got to sit and watch episodes 2 & 3 to be primed for 4 tonight.

Episode 2 was just plain annoying, I couldn't sit through it. Its like they decided they no longer are a car show and are now a (really bad) sketch comedy show. Episode 3 was a little glimmer of hope, perhaps a return to form of some sort, but still didn't feel "authentic" unlike the other road trip episodes (the US and Vietnam trips come to mind).

Also, like others have mentioned, why are they still doing the dead celebrity gag, thought they beat that horse dead on the first episode? Same with the lack of car reviews. I guess Amazon wanted a variety show for the masses, not a car show...
