Maybe I was expecting more from the show, but I was not impressed with this first episode. This episode was so derivative and the time-travel love story has been done before -- and in some cases done better. I'm hoping the rest of the season gets better.
I liked this episode really much. The idea was really good, it was pretty well worked out. The cast is super good, couldn’t have been any people more fit. The music is really good. It’s a MUST WATCH for HOPLESS ROMANTICS. Its also a TEARJERKER. have fun watching it.
Felt like watching the same show I grew up watching. That’s exactly what I want out if this new series!
I quite enjoyed that episode, and it was great seeing Victoria Pedretti (The Haunting of Hill House - Season 1) who played Evelyn Porter. The ending wasn't what I would've expected, but that is good though because it wasn't.
And I am really glad to see the return or reboot of this show. Hopfully it does really well and runs for a long time. The Twilight Zone reboots have been a shit show!
How could I resist Dylan O'Brien, baby Rapp, travelling in time! even as a one-off? This was a nice little diversion.
So Apple TV, Netflix, and Steven Spielberg had a 3 way tryst and the result is a reboot (er, re-imagining) of the 1980's TV favorite which was re-imagining of the re re-imagining of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone", where we are once again handed a key to unlock the door of imagination..... Whether that door opens to a lighter, brighter palette, or Serling's originally decidedly darker tones, has yet to be seen.
In it's first offering, we are invited to consider the vagaries of time travel, with the (just slightly) PC/ woke inclusion of a same sex adoptive family, a left and right swiping millennial, but likable, Lothario, and the renovation of an old farmhouse that conceals a Tardis, er, time portal, which, under the correct circumstances, can transport anyone in the vicinity forwards or backwards in history.
When those correct circumstances do indeed occur, one lucky bloke (Sam) finds himself in the same place, but, exactly 100 years previously. Hijinks ensue as he meets a woman who, due to an untenable financial situation, and a (just slightly) overbearing Mother (in a nice turn by NCIS / Rizzoli and Isles Sasha Alexander) finds herself about to be "auctioned off to the highest bidder", in an effort to save the same said family farm. Ahh, the "good old days".
As this entire enterprise involves time travel, after the boy meets the girl, the boy loses the girl, then becomes obsessed with trying to get BACK to the girl, which he does, but, in a timey whimey wibbly wobbly twist having something to do with basement add on's and air pressure, arrives at the wrong period, however, after endeavoring to persevere, he again finds the girl, and, just as we think we're about to get the happy ending.......
We get "A" happy ending, just not the one we really really really wanted to have! I'm right there with you @ Isael Chan, as I found myself yelling go, Go, GO, at my screen when she went to investigate the disturbance in the hallway. "Missed him by THAT much", comically came to mind.
Yes, episode one was a slightly underwhelming, yet pleasantly pleasing effort, and, I'm willing to give the show-runners and writers time to find their footing, and catch their stride. Who know's, maybe maybe THIS reboot won't get THE boot.
So a bit of wood was enough to change the air pressure but all that water wasn't?
Despite Sam helping his gay brother restore houses. The show is less in your face woke, as the Twilight Zone. So far anyway.
Though it was predictable that a man who is looking for love with internet dating. Would fall in love with a girl from the past.
It’s like Kate & Leopold but in reverse. Spoiler: It’s not believable that the town would except Sam. After he is still around and she gone though. Unless they think she drowned and that he didn’t murder her or anything.
When Sam went 15 years into the future, shouldn't young Sam have been close to 15 years old, instead of around 4?
What a feel! Better than most of the feel good romantic movies.Cant get over:heart:
I hope this first episode isn't as amazing as it gets. A generic time travelling romance. Meh.
It’s better than The Twilight Zone reboot. But still little weak. Felt rushed. How did the letters survived in perfect condition? So many questions but if I start thinking about them, probably wouldn’t enjoy the show. BTW, token gay scene in the first few mins...just something completely random. I guess Tim Cook is paying for the show, so they got to throw that in there.
