Motorheads

Take fast n furious franchise remove the star power, crazy stunts and dial up the tween cliches and tropes.

High school stuff from the likes of tokyo drift with even dumber decision making and Nathalie Kelley ! (vanessa from tokyo drift), you could even say it's like what cobra kai did for karate kid but with cars and street racing instead of karate and dojo rivalry.

It's pretty standard stuff, all the high school cliches and tropes are here, with occasional car race and build montages

So if you want tween angst drama grab the pop corn and enjoy, if you want cars probs keep your thumb on the fast forward ;)

seems well directed, the acting is mid occassionally high, effects seem balanced if on a budget for some stuff.

Ryann phillipe feels like he's trying to channel vin diesel a bit :D.

This was an easy and interesting watch. It was campy at times but what coming-of-age show isn't? I liked the underlying mystery that they slowly developed over the season. I do think some of the drama surrounding why characters aren't with each other is unnecessary but I think they're playing the long game for a show with multiple seasons to come. My favorite parts of the show were the characterization of Dottie's life lessons and Marcel. Even though his character is that of sidekick, I think he arguably had the best character development in the whole show and the person I most rooted for. The only sticking point for me was the music. This show desperately needs musical direction. It was primarily top 40's but it was all over the place with pop, country, rock. For a show set in the Rust Belt, I think it would benefit from some edgier off-radio choices.

I saw some photos of the premiere from actors I followed (Drake and Josh) that peaked my interest, but I have to say, I truly didn't know what to expect when I came across this on Prime. I was pleasantly surprised by the plot and acting in this show, so much so that I binged it in a few days! I really love how things kept flowing and wasn't dragged out and boring like some tv series can be. Same goes for the acting, I'm always afraid of the dialogue and dynamics seeming 'forced.' Truth be told I really loved how this series built up over the episodes and the chemistry with the cast is undeniable!

Motorheads has most of the stuff you'd expect in a teen drama-drama, relationships, and a bit of rebellion here and there. It does have a car racing angle, but in my opinion, it feels more like an extra layer than the main focus. Still, it adds a bit of freshness to the overall vibe of the show.

The character backstories are decent and add some depth, even if they're not particularly groundbreaking. The mix of teen drama and light automotive elements helps the show stand out slightly from the usual crowd of teen series.

However, the acting does fall short in places. While it's noticeable, it's also somewhat expected, as many teen dramas struggle with the same issue. It didn't take away too much from the overall experience for me. Yes, there are moments that feel a bit cringeworthy, but they're forgivable given the overall pacing and storytelling.

All in all, Motorheads was definitely worth the watch. It's better than several teen shows I've watched lately. Personally, I wouldn't rate it a solid 7-I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. It's not perfect, but it's a fun, unique take on the teen drama genre.

Why was this the cutest show! If Prime cancels it like they do everything else, I'm rioting... I NEED a second and third and fourth season! This show was super easy to watch and enjoy thanks to a great setting and storyline, likable characters with good development, plenty of action and excitement, and just enough mystery with exciting reveals to keep you coming back. The acting may not be the greatest, but that's kind of what you can expect from teen-centered shows, and I did still really enjoy the whole cast. Will absolutely binge again, and I wholeheartedly recommend if you want something fun, exciting, and decently wholesome to watch!
