Its been the fashion of late, to reinvent once popular shows without any conception of what made them popular to start with. Calling a show Quantum Leap, isn't a magic totem, it doesn't make the show automatically work.

Such is the case with this "new", old series. The original series starring Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell worked in large part, because of the great chemistry and wry humour, these two shared, as much as it was, the shows time travelling adventures.

The reinvention isn't utterly awful but its a long way from being the original.Indeed, aside from the name this show could have been called anything. It bears only a superficial semblance in terms of overriding story.

To my mind, its not helped either by this incessant need, on the part of contemporary entertainment, to push social justice and woke ideologies on the viewing audience. Its not as if we don't notice and speaking for myself and no doubt many others, its tiresome.

If people don't believe in something or are not interested (I'm in the latter category) incessantly trumpeting the message, if I'm anything to go by turns people off and I suspect, hardens resistance.

In summary, moderately watchable, The chemistry between the leads found in the original series is largely absent, as is the humour.Usual dreary woke messaging does nothing, in my opinion, to enhance this series enjoyment.

Watching a couple of episodes of this re-boot has just made me want to watch the original series again.

Don't know why they bothered with this 2022 version of Quantum Leap... the characters are insincere, the stories are hollow, the drama is over inflated. It's just not interesting.

Watch the original... it still works as well today as the first time I watched it. The adventures (leaps) are totally engaging and the chemistry between Al and Sam is magic.
