I finally watched this series from the beginning to the end just this year. I really enjoyed the first season and immediately started watching the second, that's were they lost me.
I think I know what they were trying to do, unfortunately you can't hold the viewers by basically doing the entire first season over while only basically rehashing the original with minor flashbacks to the first season. Maybe the entire backstory could have been accomplished with a six hour long movie. If they had made it to season 3, I think the ratings would have been better, if the watchers could get past the letdown of season 2.
I think a redo, with some better writers could be a great success with all of the interest of the "Superhero's" shows today. And it's been long enough that most that watched the original series have probably forgotten the show. Not to mention all of the kids that were to young to watch the first time around.
I know this will never happen (bummer) so here is hoe I rated it: Season one I give a 8.5. It held the audience, was suspenseful when it needed to be, and while it left me with questions, I though they would be answered in season 2. Didn't happen, they basically just showed rehashed the first season. With a few changes.
Watch the first season, if you don't believe me, watch season 2 and I believe you will agree with me. BTW, my only reason for writing this review so long after it's demise is the hope they might do a remake. It won't happen I'm sure, but it can't hurt to try.
