I gave up on it.

When I was a kid, I remember loving the episodes involving the future and wanted to see more of the project. This new series was a monkey's paw situation for me.

At least early on, the balance between Ben and PQL was awful and the leap felt pretty irrelevant. I realized quickly I didn't care about the team and had loved the original show for Sam figuring things out with his wacky sidekick.

The new show seems like it has bigger stakes in the abstract and yet smaller stakes in the specifics.

It's a fine enough show for what it is, I suppose, but it didn't scratch the itch for me as an original series enjoyer and felt way too 2020s Network Television to me to continue.

honestly, you might just want to skip to episode 6 or 7 - those were the first two really decent episodes of the series. 7 was a good Halloween episode

I made it to episode 8.

After that, I kinda fell off over the winter hiatus. I let the episodes pile up for a while until I realized I just had no drive and got rid of them.
