Nov 16, 2021Just another in a long line of UltraWoke TV shows. Almost the entire cast is one demographic only. Is this reality? No, but it certainly is the delusion from racist Hollywood. Here is the plot: All white people are bad and racist. All cops are racist oppressors. This show will die off just

Oct 27, 20217 minutes in and I just can't anymore. If this is how shows are gonna be from now on I'm moving to another planet. Not just the premise, but the acting is just so horrible. Even for CW standards.
As a fan of the original I really wanted to like this, but they're not making it easy.
I expect critics to love this, because ... you know. But fans will probably hate it. -
Nov 3, 2021this reimagining is a a vehicle for lumpen metaphor, every painfully obvious box being ticked, anachronistic sexism, An idealistic hippy who can change the world (literally) with their mind, musical theatre as a super power.... sheesh. Feels a lot like the Doctor Who misstep of being a little too preachy and finger wagging for it's own good.

It's sometimes soggy and silly, sometimes sharply insightful; sometimes a politically correct sledgehammer, sometimes waspishly funny. One thing that seems certain is that it's far more ideologically attuned than its predecessor. The original version certainly had a political bent, but only in a broad, traditionally sci-fi way: ruthless totalitarians bad, smiley-faced anti-totalitarians good. The new show is far more specifically tethered to the woke politics of 2021.

While 4400 may need to smooth down some of its more noticeable tone hiccups, it has set up a very interesting mystery with undertones of issues that are very relevant to 2021.

The storytelling is all about keeping them in the same room or so, sitting and talking to each other. It’s a dull visual approach, and brings out the corniness of the premise that needs to be distanced from for this to work.
