Quantum Leap can make the leap I will start by saying, this is improving with each episode and has potential.
Our main character Dr Ben Song played by Raymond Lee is a breath of fresh air, and Addison played by Caitlin Bassett is promising. Both are great on screen.
Remember this, they are NOT Sam and Al. It's hard to not compare, but this is a continuation 30 years later.
However, they do mention Sam and Al in this and it's great nostalgia. And to be clear, the show needs that nostalgia. So give us more.
This new quantum leap has potential to explore so much more. The science behind it all, the people involved in the present time working as a team to help Ben and uncover the secrets. I loved the original, but the original was always missing something. Hopefully they can now include what was missing with some good directing and writing, less filler episodes, and in my personal opinion, the sci-fi in the new quantum leap is very welcoming.
The mystery of why Ben has leaped is an intriguing twist. Scenes going from past to present is very enjoyable and adds further mystery and more story to explore. Something the original lacked was episode continuation, and this new quantum leap does that. So far I'm happy with the writing, the story and the mystery with all the twists. I want to know how and why, especially after episode 3..
Hope it makes the leap and gets some traction.
