The second half is really good. There's just no other way to describe it: The characters are good, the story gets much more intense and the action is amazing. Aside from the shitty CGI driven toy commercials, but hey, it’s a TV show for kids after all. So is it worth sitting through the first half to get to the good part? Absolutely. Because while the first half isn't great, it's not really terrible either. It's just a bit too plain and generic for its own good. But it's not that bad.

At the time I was a bit pissed about how long it took this show to finally get into gear, but looking back at it even the early episodes had some great stuff going on too.

I recommend Drive and I like it. I think it's a fun show with some flaws, but it gets rid of most of them halfway through the show and then it gets really good. I'd say people who haven’t watched it yet should give it a chance.

While I haven't hit that magic sweet spot yet, I've enjoyed Drive, for pretty much the same reasons you gave. It's tough to go back to as I'm entrenched in Agito, but I will - I know there's a pay-off coming.
