Fast Layne

Basically 2/3 Knightrider and 1/3 Herbie the Love Bug. Good directing, acting, editing, and special effects make this much much better than you would expect from a limited budget Disney sitcom. I found it appealing for all ages. The 8 episodes complete a story-arc so you can watch it and feel satisfied. (but wanting more!)

Sophie Pollano plays Layne Reed, a tightly scheduled over-achiever with two scientists for parents. Sofia Rozinsky plays Zora, Layne's best friend, a rebellious home-schooled girl living across the street. Brandon Rossel as Cody looks like a young Fonz or Teen Beach Movie biker. He provides Lane with help and a budding romantic interest. Winslow Fegley as Mel, is Layne's annoying cousin who ultimately redeems himself.

The opening premise is that Lane hears someone calling for help from her neighbor's abandoned shed. She investigates and discovers VIN, a car with artificial intelligence and the maturity of a child. Get ready for cars chases, crazy stunts and sarcastic humor.

The producers hoped for a TV series but only got a contract for an 8 episode mini-series. Reportedly, Disney exec's wanted more of a silly Love-Bug story line. This puzzled me as I don't care much for Love Bug.

I absoutely love this show I can't wait to see more of it I also hope they continue it on past Season 1 I really wanna see what happens after Season 1.this show is so good words can not describe how good it is. I find myself watching the epsoides over and over again more than once.

Knight Rider rip off, BUT, what seems to be a good & funny one, I'm 50, so !, but we'll see how this pans out, has promise, short plot line per episode, and not dragging the plot of each, so far!

I remember watching this limited series last year on Disney Channel and it was entertaining and pretty good for a Disney series made for children. It really was better off as a limited series with 8 episodes with the continuous plot wanting more while they obviously had a really good budget. I do know that they won't bring it back with a second season as they already passed on the project.

This show is Not inappropriate for kids. It is more of a show for pre teens tho. Fast Layne is entertaining. I watched it when it first came out and was upset when there was no second season.
