How fucking WOKE this pile of fucking garbage is going to be, believe me you'll see.
NBC have went massivly full on ticking the right casting woke boxes for this utter insult to the original magnificent series with Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell from the 80's/90's.
Watch this nonsense at your peril.

Well, this thread was started and largely replied to before any episodes aired. While the show does have a woke moment or two, it's very watchable. I say that as a fan of the original show (as it aired) and someone who is annoyed by "preaching woke".
There is no "trans character". There is a character who gives the appearance of being gay through makeup and mannerism, but they have yet to push his sexuality into a script. And it seems like he's toning down his more over-the-top mannerisms as the episodes go on. Yes, the wardrobe choices are odd, but not consistent.
The show does discuss Sam Beckett, but I have no idea if they will ever incorporate his present circumstances into this series. Like all other fans of the original, it would be great to see Sam's story positively resolved. Al's daughter is a character, and at the time of this post she is technically proficient with the QLA and assisted the current sequence of leaps, but her role in interacting with the story arc is still "up in the air" for viewers.
