"Drive" is at once exasperating and mesmerizing, utterly ridiculous if you read too much into it but utterly beguiling on its face.
-
The Sunday premiere has a nice mix of thrills, comedy and pathos, but is there a show here?
-
There's just enough punch to it that you'll want to stick around for Hour Two.
-
Much of "Drive" is unabashedly derivative.... Much of it is also unbelievable... But two episodes in, it doesn't really matter.
-
It's TV for a generation of attention deficit disordered kids.
-
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.
-
As fast-paced as it is preposterous.
-
"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.
-
With too many hints of recycled stock characters and formula thriller cliches, "Drive" sputters off the starting line.
-
It's a fairly impressive cast (of characters, not cars), albeit one left skidding around on a rather slippery premise.
-
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.
-
The twist ending of the first episode just might persuade remaining viewers to stick around for hour No. 2.
