Quantum Leap (2022) (Page 1 of 2)

yes , a lot of these shows are just as much about the actors and their performances. eg Star Trek - though this has managed to escape Kirk/Bones/Spock because of new story lines. It is hard to see how a new version could be much different than the old

@Deke is right... Oh Boy... is the only feeling to have right now about this.

They just released more information about the show, won't waste my time with this.

The latest synopsis expands on the above, stating, “Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it.” Ben is joined on his journey by decorated Army veteran Addison (Caitlin Bassett), appearing in the form of a hologram that only Ben can see and hear.

Herbert “Magic” Williams (Ernie Hudson) helms the highly confidential operation; a no-nonsense career military man, he knows that his bosses won’t be happy once they learn about the breach of protocol.

Filling out the rest of the team based at headquarters is Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park), who runs the Artificial Intelligence unit “Ziggy,” and Jenn Chou (Nanrisa Lee), who heads up digital security for the project.

The series follows Ben as he leaps from life to life, correcting mistakes of the past. It becomes clear to the team that they are on a thrilling journey; however, Addison, Magic, Ian, and Jenn know that if they want to solve the mystery of Ben’s leap and bring him home, they must act quickly or risk losing him forever.

So basically this is going to absolutely suck balls. There is no way I can see that they will be able to make this have anywhere near the impact that the original had. I'm bored of it and I haven't even watched an episode yet.

If the actors have good chemistry and the writing is good this could be excellent!

Well... Since you have no control about how anyone names their shows, just don't let them destroy those memories - however good or bad the new show turns out to be.

LOL, I'm guessing that is going to turn out to be pretty accurate.

I wonder how many episodes in the first season will be him encountering racism and showing just how terrible white men are?

I fear it's a one season wonder, doubt it'll get a second season.

nope just watching first eps. Just old wine in new bottles. I dont do this often I will not be watching any more of this. Q.L was any way just a formula to connect disparate stories with no real connection between them. hmm I didnt make it to the end of eps 1. Revisiting old series is usually a sign of lack of creativity.

101, so garbage and campy it's funny.  Exactly what I expected.

-Not only fake exaggerated dialogue throughout without one believable character, but,
-Ridiculously tight studio close ups. (Don't move that camera back or we won't be able to afford it.)
-That garbage over exposed TV color palette. (Why can't they just leave the hue alone?)
-There's this needless B story with the "Operation Team" back in the present. "You spend enough time in DC, you hear things."!!!???  Like WTF?  (As though Ziggy wasn't good enough?)
-Shoe string budget, can literally see the green screen outline in the van, but wait, was that a digital explosion???
-The whole production feels thrown together last minute, which is true to form to the original.

Love the old cars, especially that massive Buick back in good old 1985, but this episode wasn't paced well enough to get to know Sam or the time period he jumped into, which is the whole hook of the show, you know, feeling like you've been transported into a new era, as it just felt rushed, and I blame the pointless B story.

I had to give up after 20 minutes. Garbage.
