Hyperdrive

Season 1

I like it when the cool cars do cool stunts. The way they edit the action made it hard to keep up with at times. It got better after the first few episodes but they would still cut in the middle of drifts in a way that ruined the flow now & then. Also, in a lot of cases it felt like a test of the structural integrity of the cars rather than the driver's skill. That's fine in theory, almost all car based media runs into that on some level, but it felt really excessive here. I appreciate that they were willing to design obstacles around things that frustrated driver's, but it got out of hand. Also, the leveler sucks & eats up so much time in a race while slowing everything down & not really demonstrating the cool driving stunts the show is mostly about. Also really lame that that one guy just drove on with an automatic Lamborghini & did way better than he should have despite messing up most of the obstacles, just because his car was so much faster than everyone else...

But overall really fun & I hope season 2 improves on those few issues.
