I've just binged this entire series and the premise is great. Sourcing scrap type cars cheaper from Mexico and bringing them across the border to Texas to refurbish them back to their former glory. The problem however is the cast and the quality of the restorations. Apart from Rabbit the team on this show are pretty lacking in personality and their time on screen isn't very engaging as a viewer. Is this because they are serious car people and not TV personalities? Sadly no, the quality of work these guys do in comparison to other shows of the same kind is way below par. When they finish cars and take them for buyers to see you can see shoddy finishing on camera, bad paint work or the design they have chosen is just not nice. Take for example the Opal in the 1st episode with the honeycomb design. Just a horrible colour choose and hood design. The worst bit about the show though is the terrible scripted dilemmas and accidents that happen to find them. From an angry lady with a shoe as a weapon who thinks they are stealing a car to being stopped by federales moments after buying a car it's all insulting to the viewer. I've watched 5 seasons of the Gotham Garage show Rust to Riches which is also a Netflix show and this one is obviously try to emulate it but Gotham are leagues above this garage and the production on that show is so much better. Rust to Riches is obviously also scripted but it's done in a much more subtle way. If you haven't seen it spend your time on that and leave this one alone until it improves if it isn't cancelled first.
