Three Monkeys, Ten Minutes

I have commented about expectation before. It is a tricky thing. How your expectations are set going into something colour your resulting opinions. Coming into Drive, my expectations were all over the place. First it is a Tim Minear show starring Nathan Fillion - that just has to be great right? But it is another show for Fox, disappointment awaits. Also it isn't SF - not necessarily a minus at all but I tend to give genre shows a bit longer. The premise seems a bit hokey - a cross country race seems so lame. But then again it promises all sorts of mysterious Lost type stuff. Actually, that may not be a plus - derivative is not usually good. So I really didn't know where my expectations were at so that I could allow for them. Why not just watch the show.

Two episodes in. I am so hooked. Forget the rest, this is now my #1 priority.

I bet Fox cancel it after 5 episodes.
