That wasn't my opinion - I have yet to see it and from what I've read
it is one of the few "remake" / "updates" coming out of Hollyweird that
I *WILL* like.
BUT, all the reviews, etc. are saying it's rather bad and should go no
further. Even many of the people who I read that have seen it are not
that impressed.
Either way, the almighty "ratings" will be high because of all the
people tuning in to see what it's like, what the hype is on about, etc.
This means the the idiots in charge will almost certainly make a
series, but most of those lookee-loos won't bother watching the
on-going series and then the idiots will wonder what happened to their
audience and then cancel it. The "ratings" system is simply a massive
useless joke.
