My wife hasn't got too much of a sense of humour (years of being married to me doesn't help). She rarely laughs at blokish humour but she loved both the first and second episodes.
I think the programme need editing down a bit - it's too long. The special forces feature went on too long for me.
Standard TV work that is though, put a lot of effort into episode number 1 to hook people, put all your filler etc in episode 2 as people will gloss over it and focus on how good the first episode was. Then ramp it up again in episode 3 and you've got 80-90% of your audience hooked for the rest of the series no matter what.
I actually enjoyed episode 2. Apart from the American. The show isn't Top Gear and you can see for legal reasons why, so they have to try new things. I think the first season will be hit and miss whilst they work out a stable new format.
The first episode was great. Them back to their best.
The second episode, seriously WTF was that SAS training segment thing?! Was that actually an Audi S8 review? It started off funny but after a couple of mins, it was tedious...and had lost the will to live with 5 mins to go.

Some good parts, but disappointing so far.

All in all its a good watch.

So hope episode 3 is better!
