Couldn't be blander. They should've used a grey Toyota Camry.

What a diabolical farce of a TV show. I was never a huge fan of the original so I don't hate it because of the inevitable comparison. I just hate it because it's bad. Really, really bad.

You'd think if you were making a show where there's going to be a lot of interior shots of people in a car, you'd learn how to shoot the interior of a car. But no. Pretty much all interiors are laughably bad green screen shots.

The special effects on the car are nasty too, derived presumably from Transformers. There was no need for that.

And speaking of the car, as Kit is a pivotal character, he needs to have some personality. And I'm not just talking the make and model. In the original, campy though he was, Kit was an integral and entertaining part of the show. In this 'updated' version, he's blander than a grey Toyota Camry.

The rest of the crew are about as wooden, the plot is terrible, the back-story is a rolling cliché. I'm trying to think of something but there really is nothing at all to redeem this show.

If the series producers or anyone from the network is reading this (yeah right, when do they ever listen to the viewers?) please don't make any more. Seriously, you're just sullying the airwaves.
