    The plot strains credulity so much that even that action-happy audience might reject the show.

    No, "Drive" isn't awful... But the show still lacks the charisma that a serialized story requires to keep viewers coming back for more.

    Bad timing and bad taste damage Drive. No repair job can salvage this vehicle.

    At least "Lost" and "Heroes" give us a sci-fi excuse to forgive illogical stretches of the imagination.

    It’s a television series as a prolonged [car] commercial, and it absolutely crosses the line.

    Muddled and befuddled from the outset, "Drive" represents a new kind of automotive hybrid -- a scripted treasure hunt designed to look like a reality show, well-stocked with the worst elements of both. It's basically "The Un-Amazing Race."
