I watched the first episode of the reboot and it was awful. Everything you would expect from a CBS / NBC / ABC style show - characters who are broad caricatures, schmaltz emotional pulls and a tidy ending.

Yeah the first two episodes are actually pretty terrible. Jump straight to the third episode and give that one a chance. They changed showrunners very quickly

Yeah I hated it at first but think it's sort of okay now.

Quantum Leap is one of my absolute favorites, but yeah I only got 10 mins in to Ep1. Spending all the time with Sam and all the mundane everyday stuff in the lives of the people he leaped into was what gave the series heart. Splitting time between characters and time periods makes it a whole different thing.

skip to 3 or 4

it's still a network procedural, but it is less terrible after the first two
