Hyperdrive

As others have pointed out this show has a lot going for it - lighting, original obstacle courses, great cars and genuine semi-professional drivers who give their best and push their cars to the limit.

There are also unexpected twists and mishaps that keep the show interesting to the very end. It didn't feel biased to me - simply the mix of drivers was all over the place with some bordering Ken Block-ish levels of control while others driving like my uncle after 5 rakias (or whiskies).

However - the commentary and dramatization a-la "Deadliest catch" or "Orange county customs" detract a lot of value from this show. This typical American dumbing-down of the content is not really doing them any service.

They could have excelled by showing us more of the technical stuff about the cars, how they were built or some performance analysis instead. And yes they could have definitely chosen their slow-mo shots better as someone else commented before me.

Well worth the watch though and I do hope they read the comments here for Season 2 :)

Binged this show! Love it, need more, Netflix needs to stop spending budget on Adam Sandler movies and make more like this!

This car contest it is very well made , great presentation and congrats to the producers

Admittedly I enjoy most car shows, but this was something different. Part obstacle course, part drift track, part ridiculous, all fun. The negative reviews clearly didn't get very far into it, or missed the point. Don't let them stop you from giving the show a go, but make sure you have a good block of time clear to watch because it's absolutely binge-worthy.

I've always loved muscle cars & driving fast. This shows has both plus more!! There are drivers that are financially secure and do this as a hobby and there are drivers that have sold everything and work four jobs just to be there. There are young and old, guys & gals - competing to show their talent.
