I was really hoping to see a remake of this series as the original was one of my all time favorites. As far as the characters go it was great. What I did not appreciate were the gaping plot holes. I'm sure there was more to this that was cut out to fit a time slot. If this had been split into two 2-hour shows it would have worked a lot better. The parts that were missing would have made the whole story work better. It's hard to get into something when you get lost in the first 30 minutes.
