Chrome Underground

I used to watch this show when i was in 5th grade and loved it. I just revisited it and I enjoyed it. It brought back memories. I know its fake but I love it for nostalgia and I liked the action and badass cars. This idea would make a killer movie. I recommend the series if you want a quick binge.

This show is so bad that it should be classified as science fiction comedy , the situations are so fabricated that it makes you laugh, the exaggerations are so unnecessary, the situations are mostly out of place, the characters of the show look more shady than the people they deal with, the shows tries to give the perception that the rest of the world is just a Tijuana like slum, these type of shows are an enormous disappointment to viewers that are trying to find something authentic and a let down from Discovery, that in most cases is considered a channel with quality shows and content. I hope my review is not considered a spoiler, since it clearly describes the show.

Clearly scripted, poorly written, terrible acting and completely unbelievable.

Camera work is also hugely annoying, zooming in and out all the time and crazy panning over and over in an attempt to make it seem more manic is just stupid.

I really don't know why this show exists and I certainly don't understand why any network would buy this complete garbage.

Discovery, you cheapen your brand every time you buy one of these over sensationalized scripted syndicated shows. You would think you would have learned your lesson on jungle gold and that awful gem hunting show , but apparently not! Whoever keeps buying these shows needs to be fired! Do not watch this show, unless you are looking for fiction. This is another discovery scripted show that is in no way a reality show it will only take you about five minutes to to realize this and turn it off. I expect to see this kind off stuff on tru TV , but not Discovery, I really do not understand why they keep buying this stuff. The script of the first show is literally identical to the gem hunting show that bombed. In fact the gem hunting show bombed over seas and they bought it anyway. Would not be surprised to find out this was tested and bombed elsewhere only to have discovery pick it up.

No other show takes you to the slums of the world in search of valuable cars. If anyone has ever traveled to the countries that this show has gone to thus far, they know that outside of the tourist areas it can be really dangerous, especially when you are sticking out in high valued automobiles. The fact that this is the number seven ranked show in the United States on Friday nights speaks volumes to the greatness that it is. Obviously not every aspect of this show is worth a ten rating (some of the plot lines are weak and are really easy to figure out early on), but for an hour long show it moves fast and keeps you entertained the whole time.
