The channel has recently favored slick, futuristic dramas, full of gleaming cities and high concepts, but Blood Drive is a gleeful detour into grindhouse gore and raunch.

It is miles ahead of Sharknado (which also lives on Syfy) and on the whole well-produced and directed, though its effectiveness varies from episode to episode and even from sequence to sequence.

While it is no heir to what Rodriguez and Tarantino did, Blood Drive is an indulgent Grindhouse for all the modern direct-to-video goofiness and weirdness you can only watch at home now anyway.

In a medium prone to artistic pretensions, some realized and some damningly elusive, there's some value in a show that just aspires to be a bloody, leering, disreputable hoot and largely succeeds.
