I was a big fan of the original, this is garbage. I can't imagine anyone who is tuning in because they were fans of the original lasting more than a couple of episodes.
Where the original had Sam and Al there's now a squad of additional "diverse" characters to meet some network diversity target. If the viewer notices your shoehorned-in walking hashtags then it's not working, in this case it's literally every single recurring character.
In the original you could believe that Dean Stockwell was a character with a vast life experience that could be called upon to assist Sam. In this remake I don't believe that the super-fit 20 something woman has much life experience beyond going to the gym and having her hoo-ha waxed. The grizzly old dude, gruff Vietnam vet is there but shouldn't be, the dude is long passed retirement age and would never be in such a job. The uber tough head of security is another hot young woman, just like every head of security I've met (cough). The tech geek is, I'm not even sure what that person is, but is it even acting when you rock up to set wearing your every day man-frock with your fav lipstick and eyeshadow?
Additionally a time travel show needs a certain level of attention to detail and this is absent even in the early episodes where I gave up, clearly the makers have decided this is tween plop and tweens won't notice stuff like fashions, hairstyles, music, props, vehicles etc being completely incongruous to the supposed time period.
In short this is junk TV made entirely and exclusively for gen-Z and younger and will likely trigger anyone who has been alive for longer than 15 minutes.
