This show is quite obviously not the original, with the British trio of Clarkson, Hammond, and May being some of the best television ever filmed. That being said, I'd wager that the majority (if not all) of the one-star reviews were bitter fans of the original who never gave this series a chance. The presenters here - Tanner, Rut, and Adam - definitely took some time to come together, although that's to be expected from throwing three strangers together. Their lack of chemistry most definitely hindered the first couple of seasons, but once they clicked (around season 3) the show took off for me. It would not be fair to compare this to the original, but after the three got comfortable presenting the show most definitely learned to drive by itself.
