I remember watching the first episode about 10 years ago as a teenager and thinking, "This is the greatest show ever!" Then, somehow, the rest of the series didn't really have the same vibe or atmosphere as the pilot episode did, it was totally different I can't really explain it. It was okay, but ultimately it was a mediocre show. No wonder it has been literally erased from existence. I never heard a single person talk about since it came out. Hell even when it came out no one was talking about it. For those who may not know the show was cancelled after 1 season, like Limitless. Limitless was a great show that didn't deserve that.

Either way though, I feel it could have had some potential if they did it right, but the CW rarely does things right. I think they did most of The Vampire Diaries right but I can't think of much else. Even The 100, that show sucked, but just from watching it, you can get those "CW vibes" like you know it's a CW show even if you never look it up. I'm not sure how.

There was an old BBC version that was gripping as teenage me.

I recall it being hyped up and then falling flat, but that is about I can remember.

I used to watch the original british series back on Nickleodeon in the 80s. CW remkes are usually not good.

CW anything is usually not good to be honest. It has its moments though and does deserve some credit but largely that network does not produce quality content.

Flash and Arrow...

The one 10 years ago was a reboot of the one form the 70s or 80s, I remember watching it back in the day

Oh yeah, it has been rebooted 3 - 4 times. I think the original was Australian?

Pretty sure it was British

Yeah, they really didn't know where to take it. It was based on an old 70s show from England that was riding on Doctor Who's coattails, but for some reason even though Doctor Who was incredibly popular, again at the time, the CW decided to make their version this weird blend of Alias and X Men and the story just never got going.

Was that the one where they could teleport? I remember it starting off pretty good but nothing else was memorable.

Yes exactly that's exactly what I said in the post. It really did start strong and then it became so generic CW trash.

i remember it. I think they did Smallville, Dawson's Creek, Do Over, & the first half of Arrow & The Flash right, but that's it

I remember it being the top reason I switched away from Nickelodeon to see what else was on.
