    Intriguing concept, diverse cast, interesting characters, most promising new show I've seen in a spring filled with dull repeats, carbon copies and those unbelieveably dull "reality" shows. Gives me a reason to watch FOX on Monday nights again.

    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.

    I absolutely loved this show. I discovered it by accident and was riveted from the first minutes. I ignored baseball and other "priority" events on TV to watch both episodes they've aired. As usual, if Fox manages to find a good show, they have to cancel it. So, I will return to not watching Fox. They don't have anything good on.

    This show was so well directed it kept my attention non stop. The writing would improve with time as with "24". I saw this as a returning series with completely new characters and actors each season, like the "Survivor" of action dramas. I hope someone else picks up this Fox Fumble and runs with it.

    Didn't go from 0-100 in 5seconds, but by the fourth episode it was well on its way, and showing great promise for the future. Too bad it's on triggerhappy FOX. Cancelling a show after its third airing is preposterous at best.

    It doesn't get much better, Nathan Fillion with Amy Acker guesting as his wife (fond flashbacks to Firefly & Angel), Tim Minear behind the wheel (more fond flashbacks to Wonderfalls, Firefly, Angel, etc), and a story with great momentum and interesting characters. Gritty, edgy, a 'drive' into the unknown and unexpected which is so rare on TV these days. Give me more, I love it.

    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.

    I personally love the show, sadly fox doesnt realize that with the kind of show where you dont know the beginning, until you see the ending, you have to show all of the series. Now, im not going to complain too much about this show not being on the air. but i will ask them to at least release the whole series onto iTunes, or DVD. just my 2cents. Mark

    This is a fun show, my biggest beef, was the fact that there were mountains in the background when Tully and Corrinna were supposed to be in Florida. No mountains in Florida Fox. Spend some cash on some on-site filming, or some better editing equipment

    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.

    it's a good show with a strong fan base - I just caught up with all the episodes online, only to find out it's over(!?!?) I'm sorry I wasn't home those days, or I would have watch it when it aired, maybe that would have helped.

    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.

    I've watched all the episodes so far and I'm disappointed as hell with Tim Minear. Expected a lot more. I mean - come on! All the highway scenes looked like they were shot using the same stretch of road! And they want us to believe that the race is a cross-country one...WTF!

    I'm only giving this show a 2 because of the lead actor, who I enjoyed in the cancelled series "Firefly". The debut of DRIVE was a big letdown. The plot and dialog was not believeable. A mother of one was going to kill one of the contesants and then backs out and the contestant actually joins her in her car, abandoning the group she was with. Come on!

    Most boring tv show ever. Dull and lousy characters. Implausible story. (Lost, 24, and Heroes looks more believable compared to this mess). Fox can surely do better.

    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.
