Just terrible.

Really, don't bother.

It isn't even worth pirating, it's that bad.

You would spend better time cleaning the tiles in your bathroom with an old toothbrush.

I I could go back in time and unwatch it, I would - although that is only about 35 minutes - which was about 15 minutes too far. I was hoping it would get better, but it just didn't.

How did someone manage to get funding for such a piece of dross as this? Surely there would be better things that VC could do with money than to fund something like this - just go to any of the crowdsource early investment sites. Your money would be put to a better use and you might even make the world a better place.

I am old enough to remember and have fond memories of The Tomorrow People, the ITV production from 1973 that was the source for this reboot.

The premise is the same - the next evolution of mankind is manifested in these teenagers 'breaking out' with new powers - telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation, in the latest iteration.

They are on the lookout for the agents of 'Ultra' - a governmental agency tasked with rounding up the new breed and turning them to the governments will.

After viewing the pilot episode, the series seems to be a high-quality reboot, with the to-be- expected lowbrow US scriptwriting, full of teen angst and bad guys that whisper. But, I will persist, if only in homage to the original series that was the staple fare for teen sci-fi nerds in the 70s, along with Blakes 7 and Doctor Who.

it isn't a bad start, it remains to see if it stands the test of time - that is if the network doesn't kill it off at the least sign of a dip in ratings, something we in the motherland have never had to endure. We get to see a show mature and grow and thus, grow it's audience.
