I have just started to watch this series... I too remember the original from when I was kid, (It was filmed in Homossassa near our cabin), but this series so far is a bit strange...
Mind you, I have only seen 3 episodes so far, but already they went from a po-dunk little research place to some high tech facility between the 1st and second episodes, then by the third episode the "civilian" research scientist was all of a sudden a Navy lieutenant???
I realized they picked up navy funding, but yeesh that was a super swift change!
The acting is mediocre at best, and the stories so far have been kind of cheesy... but I will give the whole series a view over the next few weeks to see how it pans out...
I give it 3 stars for being middle of the road... its watchable entertainment, but I have seen a lot better!
One small plus is seeing Jessica Alba before she was a big star hehe
It was funny seeing Murdock (A-Team)/Barclay (Star Trek the Next Generation) as a villian in the Green freak.
I'll update the review as I watch more of the season pan out.
