    This is Amazing Race of the damned, with something of the open-ended, Pandora's-box mystery of Lost, and it has the potential for out-there adventure. [23 Apr 2007, p.37]

    Much of "Drive" is unabashedly derivative.... Much of it is also unbelievable... But two episodes in, it doesn't really matter.

    The plot strains credulity so much that even that action-happy audience might reject the show.

    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!… Expand

    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! There are many screwy lines and unbelievable scenarios in this series. My prediction is it will not last. It has to be believable, and this show isn't!… Expand
