- TriviaOriginal series star Scott Bakula declined to return for this sequel, despite lobbying for a continuation to the original series for more than 20 years. Fans even speculated that Ben Song was actually tracking Sam Beckett (Bakula's character) through time to rescue him after the conclusion of the original series, which ended up not being true. Later, in interviews both Bakula and the producers of this show have admitted that the original pilot script for the reboot featured a cameo by Sam Beckett but disclose what his role was. However Bakula backed out and refused to reprise the role as either a supporting or recurring character, without the presence of Dean Stockwell who died in 2021. The producers have since said they have an "open door" policy with Bakula, and that he would be allowed to appear in the show at any time should he change his mind.
- GoofsSeveral times in the series the holographic observer (usually Addison) is able to sit down next to the leaper (Ben), as if they are in the past with him. This shouldn't happen since the imaging chamber doesn't have a seat in it. Technically the observer should phase through the seat they are trying to sit on.
- Quotes
[Opening Narration Season 1]
Addison Augustine: Dr. Ben Song risked everything when he used the Quantum Leap Accelerator to travel back in time. Now our team is working to find out why. As he leaps between bodies with no memory of who he is, he still has one hope: that his next leap will take him back to the place and people he calls home.

They removed everything about the original series from it to make it into a series without substance. They barely give you any reason to care about Ben & no reason to care about the people he's helping. The original series did that. You grew to care about the people that Sam was helping in the episode & not just Sam himself. Instead they decided that they needed to make it into a flat action adventure series. There's also way too much split focus, going between Ben trying to help people back to the project isn't needed. This is a case where telling the viewers that the team was working on trying to fix the problems with Ziggy & figuring out a way to get Sam back was better than showing us what they're doing in the present to get Ben back. What is the point of making the team suspicious of Ben & his motivations? Why did they think they needed a mystery about Al's daughter?
If you want a good time traveling TV series with good storytelling, watch the original. If you want a forgettable action adventure series with an element of time travel watch this I guess.
