    As if the prospect of two Firefly alums on a new tv show wasn't enough, we also have a unique new drama to combat the sickening spread of reality tv.

    This show finally brings to TV what most shows cannot bring: an adrenaline rush. It's too bad that Fox cannot hold up on a show that has potential. It seems like Fox needs to have an adrenaline rush with its old age. Too many shows that focus around the younger crowd are being cancelled. Get it together Fox.

    This is a great show. I guess putting it on Fox was a mistake of Tim Minear because Fox obviously doesn't recognize a quality show when they see one. Mr. Minear should take this show to another network which will see this for what it is, an awesome show. If this is indeed canceled, I wont be watching the Fox network anymore.

    While not the best thing on tv, Drive had action, character, and mystery. With each episode we were treated to just a bit more about the race and its participants. I was interested to see where it went, and was conflicted with the idea that only one character could win. Now I guess we'll never know.

    After Monday's regular episode, I think this will tide me over til Heros shows up again. Reminds me of amazing race, but with less drama and less acting, but still quite compeling, bit of mystery thrown in for good measure and invariably some puppet-master pulling all the strings could make for a good season. The racing scenes aren't too shabby either.

All in all, I think this is a great, *original* show that should be given a chance before it is brutally beaten down with small detail. Another thing I'm hearing is how they use "recycled" storylines, characters, etc. Um...what? This show is a) 2 episodes into the season, and b) *new* (how often do we see that now?). The fact that I've never seen any of these "varients" of characters before also conflicts with that notion. Dont be afraid of a new show out there just because it actually sticks out from the regular drones of reality shows flooding the channels. Not everything is for everyone. Just me, but I think if you're going to write a review for a show, how about you actually...y'know...watch it. Kinda, what you're getting paid to do (or at least what you're *suppost* to do). Give the show a chance to evolve. It cant unroll its storyline if you arent letting it. If maybe a witty show "with an IQ" is a bit demanding of you, just watch something else. Do you truly have nothing better to do than to berate a show getting off its feet for the first time? Leave the criticism to the professionals. Professionals, (see above).… Expand

    Silly, implausible, sometimes outright lame (every car AND driver performs at the same high level?) . . . and a total blast! The fast pace, good (for TV) production values, and decent acting -- plus the variety of scenes -- makes it good, if brainless, fun.

    Horribly bad premise. Just stupid. The driving 'stunts' are exceedingly poor, and glamorously showcase driving behaviour of the very worst order - It's bad enough that we have to endure this sort of stuff in real life, let alone actively encourage it amongst the more impressionable out there. Two thumbs down.

    Drive quickly asserts itself as an enjoyably diverting peel-out — brainless but not stupid, a well-stirred conspiracy/action mixture in keeping with Fox’s no-seat-belts hits 24 and Prison Break.
