    I loved this show. One of the very few shows on network t.v. that I'm willing to watch. So far it's had a storyline that interests me.

    Drive was a great show! It was cancelled initially before it even got to air back in the fall, so I knew this would happen. However, bring back Drive! Fox actually had something worth watching but instead they want us to watch and accept that American Idol has reverted to demeaning its contestants. That is not good entertainment!

    Watched the first episode. It's totally unbelievable. Unrealistic and stupidly written. When people behave totally outside the realm of rational it really makes for unwatchable tv. People are simply not that gullible.

    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'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!

    Well I don't really watch a lot of TV but I like Nathan Fillion and find him very good in the series. It still has to develop a bit but I am willing to bid my time. It is very funny at times a well.

    A truly fascinating and addicting show with a handsome and compelling lead actor. Dive shows every sign of improving with each episode that airs, and is far more involved and intelligent than the road-race premise might lead one to think.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.
