The Aggro of Living on the Wrong Side of the Pond

Season of 15 of Top Gear (UK) premiered this week, in tandem with the premiere of the US version (ehh...)

The problem with the US version is the HEART of the UK version. There's just no chemistry between the guys here, whereas the UK crew has the feel of guys that have known each other since public school (private school, for us Americans.) Hopefully, that will improve as time goes by; I'm sure the UK crew came together over time.

The strength of the US version is that it seems to have lifted the TG videographic scheme intact. In a word, brilliant. Some of the best camera/editing work in tv, bar none.

Season 13 is the latest season available on CD. Not as great as season 12, but good, still.
