Ladies and gentlemen, our long wait is over. The first episode of The Grand Tour—the new motoring show from Messrs. Clarkson, Hammond, and May—arrived on Amazon Prime today (November 18). I’m here to tell you the truth: it. is. AMAZING.

As you will no doubt remember, the Top Gear trio left the BBC following Clarkson’s late night loss-of-temper with one of the show’s producers. The BBC drafted in a new cast for the long-running programme, led by Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc, but the re-helmed Top Gear went down like a lead balloon with audiences and Chris Evans fell on his sword as a result. Meanwhile, buoyed with a budget that’s believed to top $5.5 million an episode, Clarkson et al. went to work on what may be seen as their magnum opus.
