It's a continuation of the original series - 30 years later - which brings with it all sorts of interesting and fun possibilities.
Remember it's also 30 years in the future for those of us (including many of the reviewers) who enjoyed the original series. Now that we have smartphones and streaming services and special effects and decades of several unbelievably good shows, we have to all remember that the show should not and cannot recreate that original magic. It needs to make its own original magic.
So far I like the characters. The cast is solid. It's the first episode. It wasn't perfect, but it is interesting. I appreciate that the writers have shown us a glimpse of some of the new possibilities/magic.
Let the writers tell us the story. Sit back and enjoy. Or get off the ride.
