    The cast walks an excellent line between tuned-in and too-cheeky, flaunting their toned abs and cut cheekbones as shamelessly as the show that hired them, while the series itself shamelessly veers through all manner of lewd and ludicrous territory. A lot of people will hate this show. I’m happy to be one of the people who loves it.

    The show arguably has the worst potty-mouth in the history of basic cable, and its humor often meanders the line between penile and puerile. A race driver named Clown Dick is funny, kinda; a female police sergeant screaming "Suck my dick!" kinda less.

    Rather than turning to its characters to provide a reason to tune in, the show throws every absurdist and titillating trick it can think of at the viewer, hoping one of them will jolt the senses enough each week to return for a fix of more.

    At its best, Blood Drive is sloppy, silly, squirm-inducing fun, particularly when it focuses on the race. The acting is generally weak and the writing is awful, but the effects are slickly produced and the visuals consistently evoke the many grindhouse classics that inspired it.

It is an off-the-wall show which is what makes it appealing that is if you can handle it! Not for the squeamish. It is really different. Almost a train wreck but that is also one of the appealing qualities. Not sure why it is based in year 1999, perhaps we will find out. Nearly all shows first episodes aren't great because typically the groundwork has to be laid, after that is when things can ramp up. I just cannot stop watching it. Love/hate but mostly love because it is a riot. Julian Slink is fantastic. Commercials within are humorous. Robot is just manacle! It is a show of contradictions for my feelings!!… Full Review »

It had a lot of plot holes, generally pretty average acting, and was clearly made on a low budget. But this show was so outrageous I couldn't help but love it. I don't think I've been this bummed out by a series cancellation ever. Seriously hope it gets renewed by someone else, because this show dared to be different, and despite all its flaws, it was one crazy, blood-filled adventure after another.… Full Review »

    Just pass the first impression...the first two episodes seems silly and predictable but you'll find an entertaing show with more than just humor and vulgarity.
    You'll get interested in how the story goes, how the background world of blood drive begin to show more of itself, you'll find loads of supporting characthers that are presented in a smart way (and a different one) that eliciting curiosity.
    it's dark, sexy, alternative, satirize the exploitation genere and some classic movies in a way.
    Some plot ideas remind me of "Deadlands: Hell on Earth" roleplaying game, and that is a bonus!
    I liked a lot the performance of Colin Cunningham and Marama Corlett.    … Full Review »
