By one definition (more countries sold to). Note he doesn't actually mention if they've made more money on it or not. Plus the sales of the next season are actually kind of more telling.

Just watched an interview they did with the LA times in which they claim they blew 80% of the first series' budget on the first six minutes of episode one. Better not skip then.

I'll give it a go since I really have to start using Prime again, but I can't say I've missed them or expect anything great.

Ok, just watched episode 1, and it looks, to me at least, that Top Gear is really going to have to up its game to compete with this.

Just tried it, basically old Top Gear. Which is why I don't care for it.

Saw it at the weekend, it was okay, but nothing special. More of the same, that said, I will stick with it for another couple of episodes, some of what they were doing looked interesting.

4.5m streams over the weekend allegedly, which is by far the most they've ever had for a show they've produced themselves.

watched it yesterday
Enjoyed it and will probably watch the next few to see if its worth carrying on
Don't like their mini track though - no matter how much they tried to sex it up

They've completely buggered up the sound for about the first 5 minutes of episode 2.

All Prime audio has been out of sync on my ps3 at least. Not happy. Not only that, bits of films are missing! Tango and Cash had a scene missing (big prisoner getting his nose smashed), and it's not the first I've noticed. They're getting an email...
