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

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.

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

While it has modernised the story (there are smartphones, although, handily, these are left behind during time travel), it feels like a relic of an earlier age. So many recent reboots have felt pointless; this hasn’t escaped that trap, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying it. Read full 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

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.

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.

Is it better than the original, no. Is it the heaping pile of crap that people at least right now seem to be making it out to be, also no. I’m giving it a 7.

I waited a lot for this reboot, I'm a fan of the original series, Ben Song's jumps are entertaining and the series has good backstory, the problem is that this production is another one that adds to the gay propaganda!

I have nothing against gays and trans people but pretending to include them by force in everything is annoying, I just saw episode 12 "Let them play" and it is an apology to the normalization of transsexuality, I can't watch more series of this type! at this rate I'm almost giving up even watching movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quantum Nope is lazy, repurposed rubbish. When will Hollyweird do something original in Sci-Fi?… Expand

You had shuch an amazing consept to work with and you could have i tegrated the old show. But no you think you are better at writing a show than the original team. This could have been great. But you did the original an injustice.

The original series was mediocre, and this re-make makes it look brilliant.

They basically took the original series and then ran through a check list: Mentally Ill Gender Weirdo? Asian Woman? Black man? It has everything... except the White guys who made the original seriesThe original series was mediocre, and this re-make makes it look brilliant.

They basically took the original series and then ran through a check list:
Mentally Ill Gender Weirdo?
Asian Woman?
Black man?

It has everything... except the White guys who made the original series watchable to begin with.

Forced-Diversity-Leap is an unwatchable crap show. This was a one and done for me, one episode was enough to know I'm not going to be watching a second, ever.… Expand
