Season 2 Review: The series makes full use of guest stars, introducing heavy hitters who seamlessly integrate into this wild time-jumping story. Season 2 of Quantum Leap also welcomes its new cast members in a staggered and organic way that avoids overwhelming the audiences with too many new faces and moving parts. This is especially applaudable as the season is wider in scope and higher in stakes. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The refreshed "Quantum Leap" takes barely a breath in establishing its back story, its premise or its characters. ... The new show has a number of welcome nods to the past, including the presence of Ernie Hudson ... The possibilities are vast and the ideas elastic. As the show hardly seems poised to put off loyal fans, let's hope it's given time to fully exercise its evident sense of mischief. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Raymond Lee makes a decent first impression as the new Leaper, physicist Ben Song. ... The new “Leap” does have the added element of a connection to Beckett and his hologram companion, Al (the late Dean Stockwell), but that serialized story seems destined to drag on endlessly unless and until Bakula reprises his role.

Season 1 Review: That earnestness can be a double-edge sword, of course, and at times Quantum Leap can veer into the cheesy territory, but that cheese is mostly kept in check thanks to the main cast. Read full review

Season 1 Review: NBC’s Quantum Leap reboot has a charming star and slick action scenes, but gets bogged down by corny dialogue and dead-end mysteries. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While the premise stood out at the time – representing the kind of unorthodox swing the late NBC executive Brandon Tartikoff liked to take – its formula of using the past as a window into the present feels decidedly less distinctive now, and balancing that with the serialized component feels a trifle strained at first blush.

Season 1 Review: The pilot for this new Quantum Leap is 41-ish minutes of nearly nonstop exposition and hand-holding, making sure both that new viewers understand every aspect of the premise and that returning fans understand the connection between this update and the original — no matter how irrelevant it ends up being.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm really enjoying this reboot. I loved the original and I love that this one is paying homage to Sam and Al. Great idea to put Magic as head of the program.

At first, I wasn't sure about wanting to bother with the people in the present, but then, in the original, I remembered that I had wondered about what was going on in the future. The future plotline is growing on me.

I have to say, though, I'm struggling, much like the characters are, with what on earth could make Ben leap in secret with the help of Janice Callavicci and risk his whole life and future. And, if he comes back, he has to know his future will not be a good one. He has some questions to answer. Ben just doesn't strike me as a 'throw it all away' guy. He seems like he's a lot like Sam Beckett... loyal, moral, tries to do the best he can. That's not a guy that skulks around on his girlfriend and betrays everyone and everything he's worked for. I guess we'll find out eventually. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the show and the leaps. I hope they can do a crossover one day and actually find Sam, even if they don't bring him home.… Expand

It took the first two episodes to fully develop the characters so all of them make sense now. And the overall story arc is the best part as it matches the original: Ben and Addison (and team) leave things better after they leave than it was before they arrive. Just like Sam and Al. Bravo!

I find myself looking forward to the next episode, just as I did with the original. Highly recommended!… Expand

Why this exists? The original classic title told a story with quantum leaps. The 2022 version - leaps with... scenes generally resembling the inferred story, but to be made sense of later. Author quantum leaped fast-forward. No sense. Can't exist.

I really wanted to like this show….and I’ll continue to watch it’s eventual cancellation. Overall way too much story about the team back at HQ. The whole point of Quantum Leap was between Sam and Al. They were the story. I Have no problem with Sam and Addison. But need less story withI really wanted to like this show….and I’ll continue to watch it’s eventual cancellation.

When I watched the trailer I knew this could happen, but I was hoping I would be wrong. And unfortunately I was not. This "sequel" doesn't feel like a sequel at all.

If you watched the original 1989 show then you know all the problems in that time, more than less exist in what the show saysWhen I watched the trailer I knew this could happen, but I was hoping I would be wrong. And unfortunately I was not. This "sequel" doesn't feel like a sequel at all.

If you watched the original 1989 show then you know all the problems in that time, more than less exist in what the show says is 2022. So basically technology apparently didn't progressed at all in 33 years.

The character is still sent through time into the body of another person, and has to complete a series of tasks before he can come back. Which he doesn't because he'll keep leaping from several periods in time to others. Essentially the same story of 1989.

The series is trying to make itself more interesting than what it is, by already showing a possible cabal that might also have ties to the project the main character was involved in, and quite possibly another group also time traveling. They were so sloppy in the way they brought things up, that they basically already revealed what the show will be all about.

Maybe it will get better with time. All I know is that for a first episode it left several things wanting.

The show should've at least improved on the original concept, and started from a point where the main character was attempting to correct the timeline. That had been messed around by someone else, before the effects hit the present.… Expand
