The Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
Season 1 Review: "Drive" is at once exasperating and mesmerizing, utterly ridiculous if you read too much into it but utterly beguiling on its face. Read full review

Newark Star-LedgerAlan Sepinwall
Season 1 Review: The Sunday premiere has a nice mix of thrills, comedy and pathos, but is there a show here? Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesCharlie McCollum
Season 1 Review: There's just enough punch to it that you'll want to stick around for Hour Two. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamara
Season 1 Review: Much of "Drive" is unabashedly derivative.... Much of it is also unbelievable... But two episodes in, it doesn't really matter. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's TV for a generation of attention deficit disordered kids. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Season 1 Review: The first hour left me a bit cold, but the second, which arrived yesterday, filled in enough of the blanks to take me as far as Monday. Read full review

NewsdayDiane Werts
Season 1 Review: "Drive" is less the sort of textured character study we've come to expect than an action-packed joy ride. That's not to say you won't wanna hop in. But it's hardly a journey you've gotta take. Read full review

Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
Season 1 Review: With too many hints of recycled stock characters and formula thriller cliches, "Drive" sputters off the starting line. Read full review

VarietyBrian Lowry
Season 1 Review: It's a fairly impressive cast (of characters, not cars), albeit one left skidding around on a rather slippery premise. Read full review

Wall Street JournalNancy DeWolf Smith
Season 1 Review: After just one episode, I was interested enough to make a mental note to watch the final one someday, just to see who won and what the race was all about. People with more time on their hands and a tolerance for utter implausibility may choose to make the whole journey. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
Season 1 Review: The twist ending of the first episode just might persuade remaining viewers to stick around for hour No. 2. Read full review
