Everyone is rating the show poorly on only episode - the pilot episode. Yes, it's different than the original. It has to be. Ricardo Montablan and Herve Villichez are no longer with us. There was a nice homage at the beginning to Mr. Roarke. Unfortunately some shows take a few episodes or a few seasons to find their footing and become really great story telling devices. Be patient. Give the show a chance. It has a good foundation.
