The crew is a bunch of likeable guys. The struggle is real in their shop and it makes the show more enjoyable imo... The builds are getting better and better with every episode. It's what Fast n Loud used to be when Aaron was still around.

After watching Fast n Loud i stumbled on this spin off show, and found that I actually prefer this show to the original. This is a good underdog series, once you start watching you find yourself rooting for them as they try to make a success of their Garage.There is a competitive element as they try to outdo Gas Monkey Garage and it is thrilling watching the guys fight through the hardships they face to get a car ready for sale.Like Pringles, once you pop you won't be able to stop. Very addictive

And that's just fine in my book. There is no way the premise of this show is anything but just some idea that Richard had to keep the glory of Fast n Loud on it's new market as the show moves into a higher bracket of car build, but still keep touch with that initial work that Gas Monkey started with but generally don't go near (or show at least) now.1. Thomas & Richard have known each other for years, if there is a car wheeler & dealer that Richard can trust to make good deals, it's Thomas (he wouldn't ask Dennis, he's already a millionaire & would just look for Holy Grail cars). 2. Tom & Jordan know their way around a car inside & out and Jordan always showed himself to be a conscientious employee on Fast n Loud putting in the long hours to bring a build home. 3. Tom was ridiculously popular with the viewers. How to utilize that? Give him his own show & let him shine. 3. Tom & Jordan (or Scott) don't have the bearded wonders hipster cred. 4. The format with Sue is exactly the same. 5. Richard is always coming around to see his "tenants", he does this because he's the puppetmaster pulling the strings.If you make comparisons with Fast n Loud & expecting the same, you're making a mistake & will be disappointed. If you're taking it as a spin-off / extension from Fast n Loud that's entertaining in its own right & does all those things that Gas Monkey used to do, you'll love Misfit Garage. The guys put their heart & soul into each build, Thomas brings the market nous & it seems to be working for them, plus they have the naivety of Soup Bone to keep you amused, he's the Fire Up Garage version of the shop cat.Very entertaining & recommended viewing.

Misfit Garage is quite simply better TV than Fast and Loud.The guys are struggling to raise the cash and buy parts to build the cars, and this adds to the tension and drama. The underlying storyline of trying to create a new successful business and make some cash gives this show an addictive drive.Thomas Weeks, Tom and Jordan are the core of this show. Without either of them the show wouldn't work. Scott is not a great miss. He came across as unlikeable and rude. Austin was clearly not funny at all, despite his best attempts at being the joker. Thomas is a very likable guy, his car deals are fun too watch, and to a UK viewer, he is as American as apple pie. He is a proper car man. No leather jacket, scarf or ripped jeans needed. Baseball cap and fleece and a magical way with words are Thomas's tools. He don't need no Dennis.Tom is unique, a huge personality, impossible to dislike and probably the show's biggest draw.Jordan is the master mechanic, seemingly underrated by Richard, the guy can turn metal into money. The silent assassin. He knows cars better than he knows the back of his hand, and he clearly is one of the best mechanics in Dallas right now.I watch this show with a huge smile on my face. If you miss the early days of Gas Monkey, then this is the show to watch. Fast n Loud is still an essential watch of course, but where's the drama?
