"From the previews it seems they're trying too hard to be campy and cerebral, and are failing."
You got that right.
It seems, too much these days, the studios are trying to 'remake' instead of 'make'.
It seems there is no new talent, no new ideas, anymore. It is just simply trying to make the best into something better 'for the modern way of thinking'. And it never works.
It's funny. I was so excited about this new Prisoner, and I told my 13 year old daughter about it. So we were both looking forward to watching it.
I think she had watched some of the original series when she was really little, but she does not remember it.
We watched the first episode of the new Prisoner, and at the end she said she was not really impressed.
Tonight we watched 'Arrival', the first episode of the original series. She liked it, and said it was more interesting than the new show. The actors and acting are better, and the storyline is better. The music is better too. I am sure she will want to watch as many episodes of the original as are available, but she cares not for any more of this new series.
I wonder how much money was spent on this piece of crap. As I said, it was a total let down.
