The ability to write original, thought provoking, or at least interesting plots seems to have eluded film makers for the last decade, save a few directors/writers (nolan, favreau). Sadly, this series falls in line with that drivel. There is so much potential with this series. It plays like a well shot pulp action MUSIC video witb some decent fight sequences. But it is marred by helpless, hapless, brain dead characters who are often caricatures of these tyles of "stereotypes" we have seen repeated at nauseum. It is hard to care what happens to any of the characters since there is no affection built for any of them. The only character that is of any interest is that of the villain, and she is often cartoonish in her antics. Because of covid this series is watchable, but it just wears on you and grinds along at a slow crippling pace. Perhaps when they do a reboot of this series in a decade they will get it right then.
