I'm bound by compulsion to write something about this show. That Thad from Blue Mountain State would be a lead has to be one of the most on-the-nose brilliant casting decisions a show like this can make. What makes this powerful though isn't the "it's so *its genre!* but that it allows for the flexibility and creativity muscles within the genre to flex. It's not enough to simply be into cheese or camp, this, somehow, managed to make you intrigued by the individual characters at least as much as you want to see the next obscene sexual or violent act. It managed to go so over the top in episode 5 that it became something of a performance art piece for me. It's not "trying too hard," it's just simply trying, and you can respect the creators and story-tellers behind it. This isn't a show I sought out, this isn't a show that I normally lean towards or advocate for, this isn't even a genre I find overwhelmingly interesting, but this show pushed the magic button in my head that made me stop watching it at 1.5 or 2x's the speed, not because the dialogue is brilliant or the plot is intricate or hard to follow, but because it's actually fun to ride along. I look forward to the next balls out crazy shit thing they're going to get themselves into. It slips in enough aberrant mysticism or weirdness here and there, but doesn't rely on it, and it's happy to slap you in the face as often as it takes until you're crying out for more. Hats off, Blood Drive. I hope it keeps the pace and I look forward to sticking with it.
