Not Taken for Granted! Clarkson, Hammond, and May have all three made a name for themselves in the motoring world. Along with Andy Wilman and Richard Porter, they created a format for expressing their passion for cars years ago. With The Grand Tour, that passion has been refined into the most entertaining automotive program ever. Each of the three hosts are talented in their own way and allow their personality to be highlighted, unabashedly. Yes, their sense of humor may seem childish to some, but what's the point of life if you're so serious all of the time? These three know that they have one of the best jobs in the world, and they don't seem to take it for granted. This show is not written for people who want to know the science and development behind each car they feature; after all, that's what documentaries are for. The Grand Tour is not a documentary. It's made to make you laugh, feel inspired, and to dream big. It takes the essence of what it means to love cars and captures it perfectly. It's the perfect embodiment of that ten year old kid who sees a Lamborghini in person for the first time. It's a show about the rush of joy you people get from loving cars. Clarkson, Hammond, and May make million dollar cars accessible to all of us and that is something I do not take for granted.
Not all segments are perfect or will suit everyone, but there's usually a little something for everyone. That's why it's made in the platform that it is. They do a great job at appealing to many different people, and that is one of the reasons why their programming has been such a success. Many of the people who work on this show (besides the three obvious people) are incredibly talented.
The quality of the cinematography cannot be denied. The Grand Tour is filmed in 4K and deservedly so. It's a beautiful program. Whether you like cars, travel, humor, passion, silly celebrity games, or entertainment in general, this show is hard to pass up.
