Resurrected Rides

Here's what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't go into watching this show expecting to experience television worthy of trunk fulls of Emmy nominations (see what I did there?) You're not going to be able to draw comparisons to Masterpiece Theater. But you can expect a fun, turn-your-brain off and feel-good car restoration show. It's fantastic, honestly. And even though it's not winning a bunch of Emmys it's clever, well-made, and has a great cast. Chris Redd is a natural host. He's hilarious and kind of impish (I mean that in a good way) and seems to genuinely care about the participants, and the restoration team. The car restorations are so cool. They are over-the-top but they look awesome. The Mazda in the last episode is insanely cool. Super smart, playful and entertaining show. My suggestion: sit down after dinner and just veg out and enjoy some nice, entertaining, feel-good tv.

Starts off good with the first episode. The car owner is someone who could really use the help. Everything is going good until the shows host just demands they add a "pizza shooter" to the car. It was so dumb, a pure waste of time, and not something any car owner would ever want. Luckily they didn't actually attach it to the car, but it was still an incredibly stupid detour for the episode.

Second episode, the car owner is a spoiled kid who isn't even old enough to drive yet, and is about to get his license. He has no gratitude, no struggle in his life at all, so it's just a big gift to someone who totally does not deserve it, and it's hard to watch because it's so cringey. I'm all for helping people who need the help, but gifting a spoiled kid a pimped put car? No.

Couldn't bother to keep watching after the first 2 episodes. Show has no soul to it, like Rust Valley Restorations did. But at least they do some repairs to the cars, unlike pimp my ride.

Hubby & I are car enthusiast & came across Resurrected Rides... Liked it so much we binged on the Season 1 and hoping for a Season 2.

Great combination of people on the show and each one is exceptional in what they do. Need more good clean shows like this.

Always watched other shows like Pimp My Ride, Overhaulin', Rust to Riches, Counting Cars, so it ws great to see a new one come along.

Shows like this inspire younger generations to be creative as there will always be a need for these kinds of talents.

Really hoping for more of this typy of productions to come to Netflix and a Season 2 of Resurrected Rides.

Came across this series by accident and fell in love with it! Chris Reed is just absolutely hilarious and so energetic. I love how he connects with the contestants. The dream team is so freaking talented and fun. The ideas they come up with are just amazing, full of creativity and ability to execute. They're changing people's lives one episode at a time. The contestants' reactions after the reveal Make me tear-eyed and happy. As a car lover, I'm really enjoying this. Finally, something good to watch other than Netflix-generated romantic movies and series I'm so excited for season 2. Hopefully, it get released soon.

I think this show is great considering the amount of time they do have for eps. I can see a lot of reviews (almost every) over the internet are from a specific gender, specific demographic & it shows why this show has such bad ratings considering the incredibly short sited comments that those reviewers have made i.e. Someone can't be pretty AND have trade jobs AND is apparently are an issue because their segment is short; those same reviewers have compared the show to Pimp my Ride, talking up that show SO HEAVILY in a variety of ways while ripping down this one which is funny because that show does have it's own flaws too, even tho it is also a great show and ripping down 1 thing because you can't handle the fact that more than 1 great thing in a genre can exist is rude. You need to NOT watch, use, consume, etc and avoid reviewing the new thing if you are determined to dislike/hate because of unavoidable reasoning (timing and worker cannot change that too). I didn't give it a better rating because they introduce Lacey every ep, bring her in for stuff but then don't show much about the engine work, if they extended the episodes by 5 minutes then they might be able to fit more specifics for it but also it would give bad people the fuel to make worse comments so i see why it may have been made this way. I'm not a mechanic but i do have some training for this stuff & a bit of knowledge from being super curious, also great at figuring things out with context and the show seems great to me besides what i said earlier, some other things are cut short depending on the episode because of the works that are focused on for that episode but so far it works and the jobs seem well done.
