This is my first review because I am totally against most of these low reviews about this show. I am old enough to have been able to watch the original series in re-runs but I didn't... more of a Star Trek AND Star Wars fan.. that being said, this is a great show! I am an avid TV/movie watcher and don't understand what people these days are looking for in entertainment. Critics shred most of the tv/movies made now (which I don't pay attention to) and then there is the rest of us, who post whatever we want, no matter if they actually give anything a chance. This show is a new version, new stroryline, and all around new basis of an old story premis. Watch it past the first couple of episodes to get to the "meat" of the story. The acting is good, the story line is good, and it is different. It's ENTERTAINING. That's what it is supposed to do entertain! So many shows die before they get started because EVERYONE wants to be a critic now but won't watch the whole series and then give their opinion after 20 minutes of 1 show. So I would say to the mass of low review watchers and to new watchers give it a chance. Watch more than the first episode with a new mindset of a NEW story and watch it through at least 3 episodes. It's highly addictive if you look at it with a fresh perspective on an old story. And get used to this people, the way Hollywood is moving this won't be the only re-make/re-boot of an old storyline that we will see coming our way.
