But thats not what we meant with executive meddling. Yes KR shows focus heavily on the toys in those episodes but thats just a normal thing for these shows. What we where talking about was just that the first 25 episodes or so of Drive where pretty terribly written and full with unbearable comedy that ruined the little bit of drama the show had going for it.
Compared to especially Double where the same writers had much more creative control to do what they wanted Drive just felt much more controlled by the studio instead of the writers and producer.
