Winter Warmer Watchlist - Motorheads - Season One

Motorheads landed Amazon Prime Video back in May. I finally finished it over the week. OK we need to talk about these coming of age teen DRAMA.

It might be a teen drama, however hunky Ryan Phillippe also stars alongside, Nathalie Kelley, Michael Cimino (SO HOT!) Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton, Drake Rodger, Johnna Dias-Watson, Josh Macqueen, Mia Healey, Matt Lanter, Sophia Esperanza & Nicolas Cantu. 

Love Victor's Michael Cimino really is a treat to watch on the small screen. He is just so handsome!

The series kicks off with Darren Bowders & Christian Maddox race in a street race for an undisclosed beat; Maddox easily wins and leaves. 

Seventeen years later, teenager twins Caitlyn and Zac Torres move to Ironwood, Pennsylvania, from Brooklyn with their mother Samantha. Ironwood is their mother's birthplace and the twins ask her if she has ever jumped off the bridge entering the town, which she admits. 

Cate says that she will jump from the bridge too, one day. They stay with uncle Logan, a former NASCAR driver and now owner of an auto body shop. Logan is struggling to make ends meet and is forced to let some of his mechanics go. 

At school, Cate and Zac quickly meet with their lost father's legend: he was the best street racer in town, until he mysteriously disappeared one day after a heist and a spectacular police chase. 

Zac befriends Marcel, an unpopular boy, and makes an enemy of the local street races champion Harris Bowders over Alicia Whitaker, Harris' on-and-off girlfriend. 

Meanwhile Cate meets Curtis, a loner caught in the war between his father — the Sheriff — and his criminal brother Ray. 

At a party at Alicia's home, Harris Bowders throws Curtis' motorbike in a lake and Curtis steals Harris' Corvette, which he had taken without his father knowing, and takes it to his brother's chop shop. 

Back from the party, the twins, Curtis and Marcel decide to repair their father's Dodge Charger, the UNB10, which Logan has been keeping in his garage since decades.

The series is a bit of a slow burn despite the eye candy.

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't 100% into the series the entire run time of the ten episodes. However it was an easy watch, however the episodes could have been slightly shorter. The music used was brilliant and current.

I would be surprised if Amazon gave this a second season order. No spoilers but it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger.

Amazon is staying in it's lane by hedging bets on their action alpha male Jack Ryan, Countdown series along with these young adult series, like this, The Summer I Turned Pretty and recent We are the Lairs.

See you next time. We are finally at the mid point of winter 2025!
