“It was good!”
A friend of mine attended the three episode premiere in Los Angeles and liked what he saw.
“It was good! It’s very much like the original show. Very fast spaced, each episode focuses on an entirely new villain + plot point. But I think it’s building up to something bigger throughout the seasons. Probably something that will play out in the finale,” he said. “I do wish the episodes were closer to 45 minutes, though. There was a lot I wish they spent more time on.”
When asked if it’s woke, he replied, “Nothing in your face. Small little PC nod in the Third episode but it was so minor and subtle that I already forgot what happened. I just remember something a character said being kind of ‘agenda’ feeling.”
He added, “But yeah, man. They really stay true to the characters from the OG show.”
