Meh.. it's a 5 ... it's not terrible, but it's not memorable or remarkable in any way either. Definitely NOT a "must see" or close to it.
A mix of "The Hitcher" and "Texas Chainsaw" (sans chainsaw) to a degree.
I gotta wonder.. where are these attractive women driving trough deserts in classic muscle cars??? Funny how its never a Civic, Accord, Camry, Escort.. always a muscle car.. although the 80s Mustang in this film isn't really the same genre as earlier muscle cars.. it's still a Mustang.
Anyway... film was okay.. exceptionally "talky" in the middle.. the social commentary among two women in the car about domestic abuse was really not necessary and had a CLEAR ulterior agenda. Pointless, unnecessary drivel.
As a film.. it dragggggs then stalls completely, then finally moves. But even when it's moving it's not terribly original.
Character motivations were largely unclear... acting was okay, well... for the most part.
No sex or nudity, one minor adult situation.. which seems rather irrelevant given the violence and foul language. It's labeled "psychological" a few times for a reason... it's more about mood and setting than any on screen gore or "terror". There's blood.. but this is more a thriller than a horror.
Continuity error... keep an eye on that taillight.....

Are these "comedians"?? There's pretty much no "funny" anywhere.
This series is a loose knockoff of Mythbusters... ask a question.. find the answer basically. But, to be honest, Mythbusters was funnier at times.
I'm sure all these cast members are great people - and may be the funniest person in their individual cliques or circles. But the "funny" here isn't for any audience. They aren't "performing" in ANY way.
Any humor is the type of humor that may make you grin or perhaps chuckle if you were in the room with them, in that setting live with the surrounding atmosphere, but pretty much NOTHING is funny merely watching the episodes.
It's lackluster at best. Questions being asked are rather uninteresting or just outright stupid if not entirely solipsistic. Again, it's like they don't really account for any audience and just film a group of friends (or coworkers) doing stuff hoping it's funny to others - it is not.

The idea, the concept, is a decent one.
The actual execution and much of the writing is poor.
Roughly 1:20 actual run time... a good 1:05 of that is talk talk talk talk. Some of it is building characters and tension... much of it is just inane chatter.
Acting was overall decent, passable. However, I don't think anyone will win any awards for their performance.
The plot is a tad nonsensical, especially the last act.. where the story is underway.. character actions ans motivations just lack credibility in terms of realistic behaviors.
It's watchable, but it is far more talk talk talk than anything else.
---- meh .. I've seen MUCH worse. But this isn't anywhere near a "gotta see" list.
