In a sense, this could be seen as a tongue-in-cheek version of the Invisible Man. The previous version of the series was serious because of David McCallum. But then we have Ben Murphy in this new version, his character, a surfer dude. That characterization should be taken into account in addition to the wrist watch. Because in most of the episodes, the charm of the series comes from his lighthearted and even mischievious banter with his boss, Driscoll. Adding to the fun is the lady scientist Abigail who comes off as a character who's much more tolerant of Gemini's behavior.
