The original central character,Colton Donovan ( Casey Deidrick) is Very, very believable, flawed, pure sex- the character straight out of the Bromberg novel. His connection to Olivia Applegate/ Rylee, is perfect. They are lovers, adversaries, and the tension between these two pours off the screen.
If you want a tight story, the best of actors, the purest of emotions and sexual chemistry, you will love the first in the series, DRIVEN.
--------
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the part of Colton from Season 2 on, is played by Michael Roarke. Sorry, but he simply does not have the acting chops that Deidrick has.
The "chemistry" with Olivia, the believability of emotions and pure sexual tension, does not exist. The audience now goes From gut wrenching realism to Flat and emotionless lines delivered, He simply is not Good enough to play Colton as created by Bromberg.
Sad: From a grade A movie to a lot, lot less for the rest of the Series. No interest in watching.
