Knight Rider: Knight Rider
(2008)
Episode 0, Season 1

No family show, NO KNIGHT RIDER
Summary line says it all. No sexual scene needed. I don't consider this as Knight Rider if kids can't watch it. As simple as that.

Bad calls on the choice of the car, empty plot. Original car looks (still!) way more futuristic than the new one. There are sharper looking more high tech up to date domestic cars around, obviously producers are blind. I just can't look at that car because it's so NOT KITT.

Yet another example of "Nothing beats original". The original gave kids the dreams, this show offers nothing but Ford commercial. Instead of keep ruining many good shows in the past, they really should make something new from scratch.

Steep downhill
I used to enjoy this show better but odd and convenient story twists get more and more annoying in the last half of the season 1 and progressively getting worse.

  • Originality


None worth mentioning.

  • Acting


Surprisingly unnatural and static. Almost like poorly re-voiced foreign shows. I don't think the actors are fully responsible though.

  • Characters


As many as LOST but not as colorful. Lacking basic character development beyond the super-natural abilities. There are only 3 major characters or the point of views in this show, the good guy, the bad guy and the gray guy, not much detail for each character. Too many worthless characters for the story. A few talented and motivated regular casts with few more recurring characters could do the better job if writing is decent but...

  • Writing


Many many inconsistency and disconnects. Too convenient. No logic, no good theme and no fantasy. Too many meaningless hold backs. The spaceship in 23rd century firing phaser makes 100 times more sense to me...
