Loved the original series! This show is slow, just off, and to focused on being woke.
I really want to like this series but the more it goes on I can’t help but feel it’s trying to pander to every woke persuasion going. Ironically trying to target the very generation that’s never going to watch it.
Tv & movies are supposed to be about entertainment & enjoyment not lessons on how you should think, which is why I’d be amazed if it carries on much longer.
The original series’s I loved but this is just tarnishing it more every episode.
don't compare it to original series. this one is good
The 2022 series is as good as the original QL and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
Didn't see the original, but this one is really bad. Watched 3 full episodes and managed a half of the fourth.. Enough
I love the references to the original series' characters so it's a continuation and not a reboot, which I'm very happy about. I love the mystery & open-ended questions. I love the original - one of my favorite shows. This show is really good.
I loved the original. Whatever this show does they need to get Bakula and bring Beckett home.
A man gets trapped in time because he decided to tamper with the time machine right before using it. It's hard to have any sympathy for him.
The time traveler has no memory of before using the time machine, so he doesn't even know he's trapped in time. He could just be happy where he is.
The choices the time traveler makes are not realistic, such as randomly jumping in a get away car and offering to be the driver to escaping bank robbers with guns. Nobody would ever do that!
Everything else that follows that is not realistic because it would never happen.
His main concern should be getting back to his old life, or figuring out how to find a job and make money in the time period he is stuck in.
But they try to imply if he doesn't help people he can't get home. But, every single episode will be him helping people and NEVER getting home!
I'm sorry, but I couldn't finish the pilot. I had to turn it off.
Please please please don’t suck!!!
Well I've watched the first episode. I'll comment later on this. As a child of the 80's, I love the original! There was chemistry between the Sam and Admiral. They linked the show together with the constant shifting cast and time period. My comment about this new show is this, it tries too hard to focus on Ben thoughts or feelings. It thinks less about saving someone/something in the time period he is stuck in. I ask, why do we need more characters based on Ben original time period? They don't add value to the story (They seem very emotional), in-fact this distracts from the problems and challenges of Ben ward/mission. I think the budget for this show was tight. So they spent less time trying to make a show about time travel (More props and locations) and more drama about people worried about someone stuck in time travel. If it was me, I would use this should show to focus on some of the best and worst periods of our history. Eg War in Afghanistan or Iraq, the signing of The Paris Agreement (Climate change), women's rights, LGBT rights... and so much more.
So far i'm liking this show. no reboot can top the orignal but its a good show. Dr. Sam beckett needs to make an appearance and i think he will if the show stays on the air.
:heart:x8
This is a very worthy reboot of the original show. What I really like about it is how the stories involve the team behind the scenes at home base (point of place and time of his original leap). This brings a really good balance to the show.
As the went ont this first season it became clear that leaping is much more complicated than it weas ever depicted in the original show. This too brings a great new depth to the story-telling here. There are soo many places this show could go.
Prediction regarding the first episode in season 2 Sam Becket is going to jump into the now not Ben - but Becket will almost immediately jump back out in order to help save been .
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
It takes time for actors to settle into their characters.... If there is a second season, we will know if we will be able to count on a 3rd.
Could be epic, but rice and repeat and the ongoing story drags on.
Let's hope for better in the next series.
So far so good, living the behind the scene story that was missing from the original, hoping that Sam Becket makes a reapearace in future episodes
It's okish If you can leap into it.
I'm not really sure how this show got switched from Tuesdays to Mondays, but doesn't matter how many weeks in a row. we try to find it on a Monday. it's never out so please don't let yourself get excited for it
Main character has to play new role every episode. I think Lee will have problem with even one of them... I hope I'm wrong. Even Ernie Hudson would be better choice for Ben.
