I watched last night.

I was not impressed.
A shortened version of a hyped movie.

It doesn’t have the same ‘feel’ of the original.

It’s sort of Hawaii Five-O meets Miami Vice. It’s also an ensemble show, whereas the original had Jack Lord as the star with the other characters used as props.

The original show had excellent production values and lasted for 12 seasons.

some show just can’t be remade because the star becomes so identified with the character. magnum pi, hawaii 50, true grit.
i will see if they offer episodes on line and go back to watching castle on monday nights.
