Drive Premiere
I had been seeing the commercials Fox’s new series Drive for awhile. They barely caught my attention and I had no intention of adding this new show to my viewing roster.
But luckily for Fox, I had the TV on in the background tuned to The Simpsons while doing other stuff when Drive came on before I realized it.
I was hooked within the first 5 minutes.
Might have had something to do with Nathan Fillion who I’ve been drawn to ever since his days on One Life To Live as Joey Buchanan. (Of course we all know he was great on FireFly too.)
I even skipped watching Desperate Housewives to see the 2nd hour of the premiere.
Drive is about participants in an illegal cross-country road race for $32 million. But if you are expecting an unimaginative show about cars and speed (like I was) change your expectations now! Many of the “racers” have been coerced into the race by various methods (not yet completely revealed) such as Fillion’s character, Alex Tully, whose wife has been kidnapped by unknown persons affiliated with the race. The race becomes almost secondary to the individual characters, their backgrounds, and their varied motives for winning.
Unfortunately, Drive seems to have not done so well in this week’s ratings with only 6 million people watching on Sunday evening. Has me wondering if it will suffer the same fate as other much loved but fast canceled series?
If you are interested and missed the beginning you can catch it online at Drive’s official Myspace page.
