I'm a fan of the original series and made a mental note to watch this when it premiered. The pacing is quicker than the original, which reflects the change in TV production over the past 35 years (and shortened attention spans). And there was maybe a bit too much narration for the pilot. But I love that viewers get to experience the same timeframe portrayed in the original through a different cultural lens. There is so much that can be covered in this series, and I for one am looking forward to going on the journey with these characters.
