On the back of my recent revisit of "Firefly", it came natural to finally catch up with the show that reconnected Tim Minear and Nathan Fillion; "Drive". It also put them back together with Fox, and that's something of a disaster. Anyways. Nathan Fillion and Emma Stone are reasons enough to at least run through the 6 episodes they got to make. Got to admit Emma Stone (whom I recently watched in Paper Man; and scored 74/100 @ Criticker) is fast becoming a new favorite of mine.
Unlike the case of "Firefly", there's plenty of reasons why "Drive" never caught on. The story is a bit all over the place, there's way too many uninteresting characters and there's too many actors and actresses claiming their stereotypes as acting. You can hardly make a really good case against Fox in this case, especially as the ratings wasn't much to brag about either.
Well. At least I've been there and seen that. One more check-box checked at both Fillion's and Stone's end.
★★☆☆☆ Overall Quality
