Blood Drive is an action-comedy-gorefest series that premiered on Syfy in June of 2017.Los Angeles, 1999. The world has gone to shit. Oil is $2000 a barrel, crime runs rampant, resources are scarce and things are just generally bad.In the middle of all this is Arthur Bailey (Alan Ritchson), goody-goody employee of Contracrime, doing his best to make things better for the impoverished citizens.Along with his partner Christopher, Arthur stumbles onto a hedonistic party of madness, run by the diabolical Julian Slink. He's putting on a race, the titular Blood Drive. A cross country slaughter-fest of blood, babes and debauchery. And Arthur finds himself shanghaied into participating, as does his partner, the mysterious Grace D'Argento (Christina Ochoa), who has her own reasons for racing.Now with explosives in their necks, the two join forces to combat fat Elvis Impersonators, nutjobs dressed like clowns, cannibals and all the other insanity of their America....Did we mention the cars run on human blood? Yeah, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.Cancelled following the end of its first and only season.Not to be confused with the video game of the same name, although both share similar themes. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| Blood Drive / int_19df659c | comment |
Even before it went to hell, Kane Hill Asylum hadn't been a functioning psychiatric hospital in years; rather, Heart Industries was using it purely for human experimentation. One of those experiments, involving Smax chocolate, went horribly wrong and caused the patients to take over and torture the staff. | |

Wham Shot: A pilfered picture from Kane Hill hospital featuring Julian as one of the doctors. Dated 1957. A lesser example from the same episode is Julian as the DJ at the rave where Grace's sister went insane on Red Rapture. Another old photo in episode 5 shows that Julian had a prototype of both the bottle grinder machine and the blood-running engines, called a Soul Replicator. Karma appearing out of the soul replicator, revealing she survived being put into a blood engine. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Played with when Heart decides that Julian no longer fits in with their plans for Blood Drive. They plan to kill him off and find another master of ceremonies. He earns a reprieve when they are impressed by the way he murders a man in their lobby. However, a few episodes later they decide that he needs to be replaced after all. They are still unable to kill him because of a clause in his contract that their lawyers need more time to get around. While they wait they offer his job to the Gentleman. | |

The Family That Slays Together: Racers Cliff and Domi. Happily Married, and both lovers of wanton slaughter, such that killing people is their way of settling any disputes they might have. They ultimately kill each other in an act of passion during the melee at the Battle Dome, so that they don't have to worry about outliving the thrill. | |

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Cliff gets Domi to rescue him from the Amazons, even though they had just had a big fight before their capture with Domi taking well to living in Lady Land, by tapping out in code that "if I'm going to be killed, you should be the one who does it." They ultimately kill each other, for this exact reason. Karma to Grace to an extent. She tried to keep Grace and Arthur in race so she could get revenge on Grace. | |

Bathtub Scene: In "A Fistful Of Blood", Grace lures Arthur into the bathroom while she's bathing and seductively rises out of the tub in an attempt to seduce him. The audience only sees her Toplessness from the Back or Shoulders-Up Nudity, but he gets the full eyeful. While he can't help but enjoy the view, he ultimately turns her down since he knows she's vulnerable and just wants Sex for Solace from him at that point and he's Above the Influence. | |

They are also Julian's employers, plus they created the gasoline additive that in turn created the Glimmers, Smax candy, and, for some reason, the Dionysus Strain and the serum that created Denali. One conversation between Grace and Slink sums up how much power Heart really has: | |

Bedlam House: Even before it went to hell, Kane Hill Asylum hadn't been a functioning psychiatric hospital in years; rather, Heart Industries was using it purely for human experimentation. One of those experiments, involving Smax chocolate, went horribly wrong and caused the patients to take over and torture the staff. The rehabilitation center that Karma was transferred to from Kane Hill apparently wasn't much better. The women there staged a revolt and ran off to form the Lady Land of Majora. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Blood Drive / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Grace and Karma's surname may be one to Dario Argento, famous giallo filmmaker. Episode 5's Jack and Diane, to the same song by John Mellencamp. Episode 5's title, "The F*cking Dead", and the zombie virus, to Night of the Living Dead (1968). The Dionysus Strain itself is also one to Classical Mythology, as it references Dionysus (hedonistic god of revelry, among other things), and the end stage, where the infected end up ripping people apart, was an unfortunate tendency of his Maenad followers. The town of Cronenburgh from "Scar Tissue" The basic premise of hugely inflated fuel prices and cars running on blood is similar to a Cult Classic Black Comedy film Blood Car. | |

Purely Aesthetic Era | |
| Blood Drive / int_e8465b72 | comment |
Purely Aesthetic Era: The show is set in 1999 — specifically, how a dystopian '70s grindhouse movie would've portrayed it, combined with elements of how we know the future turned out. In practical terms, it's the culture of The '70s and a combination of '70s and 2010s technology, including a Toyota Prius. The big disaster responsible for the crapsack state of the world, a massive earthquake caused by hydraulic fracturing opening a massive chasm in the heartland, is also a reference to a modern environmental concern that was barely thought of before 2010, though the manner in which it's portrayed is very much in the vein of how many such films depicted the future as a Polluted Wasteland. Going in the other direction, Jack and Diane in episode 5 also have a very strong '50s aesthetic in their behavior and manner of dress, referring to Elvis Presley as one of their favorite musicians. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Clown Dick's demise is partially caused by this, as he'd stopped to brag to (and grope) the Mayhem Girls. | |

Explosive Leash | |
| Blood Drive / int_fa73ee9d | comment |
Explosive Leash: Explosive/shock chips in their necks keep the racers from ducking out, trying anything funny, or even getting more than a certain distance away from each other, though there are ways to circumvent them. Grace and Arthur eventually get theirs removed. | |
