DRIVE

I'm so glad I remembered to watch the premiere of DRIVE last night. I wondered how hours of watching people drive in their cars could remain interesting, but it really is full of action. Also, the story, while about the race, is more about the people involved. You get the sense that every driver/partner has a secret, something in their past - a reason for being selected.

It's action wrapped in mystery, and the different characters are terrific. Nathan Fillion is awesome as Tully, a supposed landscaper whose wife was kidnapped. Like Firefly's Mal, he is a hard-ass with a dry sense of humor. The pilot continues tonight, in case you missed it last night.
