But it’s also not great and compared to some of the great shows from the past, the Quantum Leap remake is weak. I like the music (I’m a Bowie fan) and it seems like the cast is giving it a go, with mixed results. The same is true for the writing; it vacillates between decent and mediocre. I like the relationship between the leads, although I think the writing for Addison could use some polish. I think the cast is too big for the story. I like Magic and Ian isn’t bad, but the other characters need more personality which suggests the story could do without them. The writers could easily meld skill sets together and go with four characters. I think that would help the story and lower production costs. If this show was competing with good shows I would not watch it, but since that’s not the case, I’ll probably keep going, until I get bored. Expand

The lead actor does a really good job becoming all of the different personalities and people and his delivery is very much spot on for all of the characters he inhabits.

Raymond Lee reminds me a great deal of Randall Park in his deadpan comedic style and delivery, and it all comes across really well. The dynamics between him and his fiancée are well portrayed and add an extra element of relationship tension to the entire series.

Unfortunately, this series leans heavily on the new conceptualization of Ian Wright, utilizing the trope of making the sciency/tech character an edgy nonconformist, akin to the red-haired forensics tech on crime shows that is always out there. The series treats this new Ian Wright as a saint-like, god-like character and Mary Sue. All the while I'm wondering why people are taking someone dressed up like a city girl from 1982 with black nail polish and patronizing attitude seriously. That last aspect broke the suspension of disbelief for me and easily ruined what would have been a fairly believable, groundbreaking series.
