I just fired up Parks and Recreation on my PS4 using the Amazon app. Not only do they have CC (subtitles) but you can also adjust the font size settings. Pretty good

With my partner and I being big Top Gear fans and her being a Prime subscriber, we're pretty happy with this. Looking forward to see what they get up to.
That said, I'm still pretty annoyed at Clarkson for being such a knobhead and getting let go to begin with. I hope he can control his ego a bit more.

It's clearly his evil twin from Bizarro world.
Would've preferred they went with Netflix though personally.

It's going to be topgear in all but name, good on amazon.
just wait for the bluray or dvd release, i'd prefer that then paying out of my nose for prime i'd use twice a year.

Good for them. The quality of the show's deteriorated over the past few years so I won't be bothering, especially not for 70 quid.
I have a feeling they'll lose a lot of their dedicated audience as well if there's no alternative to the entire subscription. My dad loves Top Gear but I can't see him wanting to pay so much just to watch it.

I think its fair to say that they'll be given a pretty good budget to work with and it should be noted that the lead producer is till with them. Camera work and quality is usually a side a effect of a good budget so lets hope they have that to start with.
It will not have the same production behind it. People underestimate just how good the BBC are with that kind of stuff.

more then likely yeah, less exotic road trips for the first series or two for sure.

They've still got Wilman though and he was arguably the catalyst for the show's resurgence.

Amazon Prime is an amazing service that everyone should have. I would take it over Netflix if I had to choose except for the future Marvel stuff.

Wilman and Clarkson are the driving force behind the Top Gear revamp.
I do love the efforts to diminish how central to Top Gear Clarkson is / was.

Evil Hammond?
The DC Cartoon movies on Prime are way better than the Marvel movies.

Darn, I was hoping for Netflix. Great to see that they are back to doing a show though.

He means the Marvel Netflix shows like Daredevil and the upcoming Jessica Jones. Daredevil was well worth subscribing for.

Ahh right, I have not watched those, I bought the missus a £50 Netflix gift card, so i'll check them out when she redeems it.
Well the latter point undisappoints a lot of the fans so it sort of makes sense

Is Amazon Prime even available here in the Netherlands, because Top Gear is huge here but I actually never heard of AP so I think they're missing a pretty big market.

Will we see the revival of Black Stig? I guess white Stig is BBC's stick (pun intended)
This would be the best news. I don't need another subscription service.

Amazon Prime movies/TV is only available in like 5 countries though, right? Lol. Are they expecting the same viewership numbers Top Gear got? It's one of the most wildly watched shows across the world yet only 5 countries as of now will be able to see it? Countries that get BBC programming (a lot) got to see Top Gear and others got it through syndication. It was very easy to watch Top Gear no matter where you're from.
Has it not occurred to anyone the reason they got them is to start pushing prime in a bunch of new countries? If you wanted people to sign up, don't you think a show with a big international following might be helpful?
For all their other shows you can just buy what you want to watch even if you're not subscribed.

I was hoping they'd be on Netflix. I'm not too keen on spending $90 just to watch this.
