So, I decided to give this series a chance to redeem itself after the simply abysmal first episode. I didn't like the premise of focusing on the team outside the Leap so much, but had hoped that was just in the first episode to give background. Well, this aspect only got played up more in the second episode as were the woke aspects - I mean you have a Space Shuttle Crew from 1993 and there is not a single white guy to be found. Ridiculous.
In addition to the problem of focusing too much on events outside the Leap, this show is total devoid of the humor that punctuated the original and is missing the chemistry between the leaper and his hologram helper. The exchanges between Sam and Al in the original were often the highlight of an episode and that is totally missing here as the dialogue between Ben and Addison is kept so damn serious and the idea of chemistry has to therefore be hoisted upon the viewers in the guise of them being engaged to each other.
Working under the title of the original in hopes of sucking viewers in, this is just another poorly executed sci-fi show and forced woke series attempting to piggy back on a far superior original.
