Featured review
Is this really a good idea?
And so, American television's obsession with remaking 20th century shows continues, even though most of them are rubbish and get cancelled at the end of the first season or earlier. Of course, the original series was based on books and the multi-ethnic cast is probably closer to the source material than the all-white line-up of 1999. But apparently teen drama is so 1990s, even though we get a flashback to the cast completely failing to look like teenagers. (Apparently Max's designer stubble is there solely to make him look older in the present day.) The result: A bunch of adults who act like teenagers.
And of course, since it's 2019, we get commentary on the US' immigration policy both as metaphor and as reality. We also have Liz, who made it through the original without losing her virginity, nearly having ex-sex in a car; our first sight of Isobel is her in her underwear about to have kinky sex; Alex (originally a geek) is a crippled war vet who's gay lovers with Michael... (So in order to match up the three aliens with three humans, are Iz and Maria going to be gay too?) And there's a conspiracy, but I guess the original had that too.
Basically, this pilot is less of a story than a lot of set-up which alternates between mirroring the original and trying to pretend it's not it. So on the one hand, we get Liz getting shot in that waitress uniform and healed by Max. And on the other hand, we have a hint that the aliens killed Liz's sister. It might get better but this is not even approaching a promising start.
