If we imagine for a moment, that this show would have been called differently and the name of Richard Hammond would be omitted from it, would it hold? Because we are lead to believe that Richard knows nothing about business, can't plan anything and discovers absolutely primitive business details from another meet with his accountant one bite at a time.
Seriously, it's too over the top in portraying Richard as incapable businessman because he is not. It's plain stupid to portray him as he's on the verge of bankruptcy because he is not. I believe the entire 'business' angle is wrong for petrolheads because we are not seeing enough wrenching, enough cars, enough meat to chew on. The show in its current state lacks the identity and I honestly expected season 2 to be better, but it is not: Richard is still being 'half broke' and as illiterate as he could be in business terms. It became so annoying, that I've stopped watching as I saw him purchasing business books. If this thing ever wants to evolve to be liked by car crowd, this entire business angle needs to go. I somehow believe that Richard meeting with famous Youtubers who are working on their cars would have been a better idea.
