First the original trio left after the BBC decided not to renew Jeremy Clarkson's contract back in 2015. Then new host Chris Evans stepped down after only one season. And now -- almost two years after the trouble began with Clarkson's infamous "fracas" -- the series has been revamped.
Sunday's episode was the first with a new core trio: Chris Harris, Rory Reid, and Matt LeBlanc.

But judging by the early reactions, things are looking promising.
