Some things I liked some I did not.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

While I'm not a big gearhead myself, I do watch a LOT of car shows on Discovery and Chrome Underground has peaked my interest faster than most other shows.It's definitely unique in having the deals take place outside of the US and often in shady areas of Mexico and South America where the potential for things to go awry is a lot higher.All three main characters (Antonio, Yusuf and Andrew) are interesting and likable guys that aren't afraid to show their emotions.The only other comparable show that I've seen would be Chasing Classic Cars, where the boring and mundane host makes it almost unwatchable, and all the deals are fairly straightforward and uninteresting.Chrome Underground does show a little of the mechanical side, but I like the focus on actually making the deals and the care taken to minimise the risks.It's a shame that Andrew most likely won't be appearing again if another season is shot, he added a lot to the show and I hope things work out for more episodes in the future, so we can actually see how the guys made out when returning to the US.

I started watching this show thinking: "wow, a new show that takes us to foreign countries in search for a rare car in a hostile environment." But after ten minutes I lost all interest in it. What are the odds of finding a US mercenary working as a bartender in Mexico and willing to risk his life to "rescue" 20000$ and only earning 200$?Yeahp, the Mclaren character is a poor actor. When you see him looking around as to check if the place is secure or not, you totally figure out that this show is has real as WWE fights.Don't bother watching. It's a total waste of time. You don't see anything that really makes us petrol heads jump on our seats. Worst TV show ever.

Complete waste of time. I will never that hour of my life back. They hardly show any cars. The acting is awful. It is painful to watch. The preview of whats coming up after the commercial break lies to you over and over and tries to make everything way more dramatic then it actually is. When they get tired of acting or coming up with fake interactions the screen just goes dark and they post some made up account of what happened while you were trying to figure out whether this is a reality show or scripted. Its obviously scripted and in the worst way. I can't believe people actually take the time and resources to make such a horrendous viewing experience.

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.
