Top Gear - Season 14



It took forever for season 13 to get here, but 14 came right after. Maybe they just wait until they have a full year's worth of content before shipping it overseas? In any case, seven more episodes of Top Gear means seven more hours of enjoyable content. The Bolivia special might be the show's most harrowing episode yet, as the intrepid trio have to drive some pretty poor vehicles through jungles, along roads at the edges of cliffs, and up hills so high that both they and the engines become starved for oxygen. In another episode, they try to build a better electric car and fail spectacularly in the way only they can. In another, they build an art exhibition for car-based works in a museum, and seem to find every conceivable way to mess up the presentation. Jeremy finds new and exciting ways to review cars on the cheap, James attaches a car to a hot air balloon, and the Stig continues to impress with his driving, whoever he is. Not much I can say about the show's future that I didn't say a month and a half ago, so I guess I'll just keep waiting for the next season.
