There are alot of TV shows out there and sadly quite alot of them get cancelled and thus fall into TV obscurity. As such I thought that i'd take a look at one of those very shows today which despite getting both god ratings and good reviews was sadly cancelled after it's first and only and season and so then join me as I review the season premiere of Blood Drive with the episode in question being called simply just "The F...ing Cop" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is a cop is forced to embark upon a deadly race across a America where the winner receives ten million American dollars. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was genuinely really engaging and was also genuinely quite entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is former Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star Alan Ritchson as Arthur Bailey , Christina Ochoa as Grace d'Argento and Thomas Dominique as Christoper Carpenter. Also starring in this episode is Marama Corlett as Aki , Colin Cunningham as Julian Slink , Andrew Hall as The Gentleman , Darren Kent as The Scholar , Craig Jackson as Cliff , Jenny Stead as Domi , Brandon Auret as Rib Bone , Altovise Lawrence as Sergeant Gower , Carel Nel as Rasher , Nathan Lynn as Junkie , Adam Pelkowitz as Fat Elvis , Paul Pieterse as Clown Dick , Bjorn Steinbach as Barry and Jesse Suntele as Todd.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best. Which given that this show aired on the SYFY network is something that I kind of expecting to be the case even more so when you take into account that all of this episodes main cast actors and actresses aren't that very well known in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then I personally saw bot this show and of course this episode as a lot more of a demented version of the classic Wacky Races TV series. I mean both shows have a vast diverse amount of characters all of whom have there own wacky personalities with cars that help sell you on those personalities all of which convinced me that this show is a more demented version of Wacky Races in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Look to be really honest here I really do feel that this show aired on the wrong network since this show is basically a horror show that for strange reason chose to air on the SYFY Channel. Which just doesn't make that much sense to me since there were places like Netflix around back in 2016 which would have been a more perfect home for this show and we would have gotten a few more seasons out of this show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I say this because everything about this show and about this episode just doesn't look like that it would do well enough on the SYFY. With my point being proven with the fact that this great show that had loads of potential was cancelled after it's first and only season and so why the makers of this show and of this episode chose to go to the SYFY Channel with this show is well and truly beyond since both Netflix and Shudder would have been a much better home for a show like this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I will very much admit that this episode does something which I didn't like and that's the fact that this episode didn't set up any plotlines for the rest of this season. Which is something that all good first episodes of any TV show should be able to do no problem but yet for some strange reason this first episode only sets up the main plotline and nothing more then that which just leaves us with a bunch of characters that we don't know and that were not quite sure that we even like yet in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode had / has an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and eight seconds. Which is the bog standard length for any TV show that claims to be an hour long even tho it airs on a network that airs adverts but even so this is perfect running time for an episode like this one to last since once you've set up the main plotline of the show there's not really that much left to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then I have absolutely no idea if this show is classed as a horror show or not since there are plenty of horror elements in it but at the same time the show isn't even listed as being a horror show since it's instead listed as being a science fiction action television series. This is despite the fact that this episode has a the best death scene that i've ever seen in any kind of horror TV show which i'm not going to spoil here but it will make you look at car engines differently in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this episode was a really solid opening first episode to a really solid and a really underrated TV show with this episode being a really good example of how good and how crazy this TV show can get in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Wikipedia , IMP Awards . Com an Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
