Netflix has the early seasons starting with Season two. I've watched them all, almost all of them twice. It's the chemistry of the three guys who make the show work. Clarkson was the idiot you loved to watch, and dislike, and some even secretly enjoy like a naughty pleasure.

However, Clarkson was one of those people that you just knew without having ever met him, you couldn't stand him for long. He was too egocentric, too opinionated, and too loud to be a really good friend. A road trip with him would only work if you were in another car where you didn't have to listen to him every minute of the day.

But the show worked. The show worked because the three guys were lovers of cars, and had such different ideals, and as such liked and disliked each other all the time. But Clarkson's personality was well known, and was so brash, so obnoxious that it had become a running joke in the British Isles.



Hope you enjoyed Clarkson Island. The largest collection of Clarkson's, in the world.
