I watched all three eps and I'm still finding an opinion for it. The first two episodes were really good but the third one wasn't all that great.
What I like about the show it how it's shot. Very cool. The characters are interesting and the plot is engaging. I think the show has potential.
Spoiler:
What I don't like about this show is how the race organisers seem to be everywhere. Like in the third ep for example where Alex gets arrested for a murder a few years ago. Now, I thought that was such an interesting twist to the character. But in the end, it turned out to be a joke. Kinda anti-climatic and a bit pointless. Alex was right - why go through all that trouble because they just wanted to give him a car? That annoyed me a lot. Kinda felt like I was wasting my time watching the ep.
If the writers keep putting in new twist but in the end we find out that it's just the organisers messing with the contestant's heads, I don't think I'll be very keen in watching this show.
It can get very irritating that every random person the contestant meet turns out to be one of the organisers.
Overall, the show is alright. Has a lot of potential if the writers know which direction to take. But if the show is going to be anything like the third ep, I wouldn't be surprise if the show doesn't last long.
As some of you might know, others might have missed. FOX has cancelled Drive after only airing 4 episodes. There are 2 more episodes finished but I have no idea if and when they will air.
I think they're getting better at this, next time there will only be one episode aired before cancelation of a show *sigh* _________________
I read that FOX would be showing the final two episodes in May. But apparently, they are still deciding whether to show it or not. Not sure why.
I'm actually not surprise. Honestly, This is FOX, you can't expect anything less than this. I was just waiting to see how long it would take for FOX to come out and can the show. They seem to be against smart shows like Drive and Firefly. It's either they don't get it or they are just bias against anything Joss related.
Though the show is weak in places, I thought it had the potential to do better. I mean, how can you tell after 4 episodes whether the show is good or not? You have to give the show a chance to blossom before passing judgement.
*sigh*
Poor Nathan Fillion. He's probably thinking that he's curse now as both shows he's a lead in gets cancelled.
Sadly the two episodes never aired. They put them online for streaming but if you, like me, live outside the states, you can't watch them. I think this is just horrible. The show had potential and then they just killed it off, told people that 'yeah sure we'll air the last two episodes in may' 'no wait, july' 'no wait, online' 'oh.. it's only for the states, sorry!' *sigh*
Minor good news though. The team that did the intro has been nominated for an emmy or something for their work, and Drive will go down in history as one of the first series to be nominated for their work while streamed online. So that's always something.. but still. I would have loved getting more of this show before FOX did as they usually do - killed it. _________________
I kinda lost interest in this show when I heard they weren't going to air the last two episodes. I find it very silly of them to do that. But then again, this is FOX that we are talking about.
On a brighter side, Fillion will be a regular in Desperate Housewives next season so I'm happy he is still finding work. I'll definitely watch DH for him.
It's just sad to see FOX killing off so many good shows and then just letting others run forever that isn't that great.
Had I been one of those tvshow creator types, I would have been trying to find whichever network to pick up my show EXCEPT fox, because otherwise I'd know my show would be gone within the year.
I'm still curious of the show but now there's just no point since I'll never get any answers. We didn't even get to see Amy or anything. I would have loved seeing the last two episodes but considering I live out of the states, I won't be able to.
I'm definitly looking forward to seeing Nathan on DH. Been watching the show from the start and personally found it to be going downhill for a while now so I look forward to seeing it pick up again with Fillion. At least I'll have something yummy to watch each week
