Not sure if these are spoilers or not.. best to be sure. This has started as a great series... a solid 8/10 for me. The builds are cool, with some great big trucks to lust after. The shop's team seem a great bunch of fun lovin' characters.
After 3-4 episodes a familiar feeling crept in. Was I watching Orange county diesel? Of course, all of these types of shows are for self promotion of the company, but the plugging of own brand products came on strong. Here we go, their own tire brand, sporting a 'patriot' theme, stars and stripes... manufactured elsewhere. Then a local dealer 'drops in' at the exact moment needed for a TV victory! Dropping in interest 7/10.
I am holding on in the hope of a recovery. Now the latest episode is the 2nd of the 'sponsored builds'. Brands looking to buy prime time space by commissioning a build and getting exposure. Is it wrong?.. maybe not, but it is played out. OCC, Fast N'Loud and a bunch of others just about burnt up this premise. Time crunch, missing parts.... amazingly all coming together at the last moment.... 6/10 and dropping.
Man, hoping it recovers and goes somewhere.
