Let me be the first to share how awful that first episode was. I kept thinking it had to be a dream sequence as there is no explanation for the bad filming, completely ridiculous plot and the 11 shark jumpings in 11 minutes.

I only lasted half way through so maybe it ended up being a dream (or my nightmare) at the end.

i agree it felt like it was made in Yorkon or.. Moose Jaw

very amateur and tried to make up for it with blinking lights and lasers.

It jumped in guns blazing and didn't stop for the whole episode. It was no dream sequence.
I give it 6 episodes before this awful remake is cancelled.

I had enough when KITT "transformed" into a pickup truck !

Come on !!!

The show is officially off my PVR recording schedule.

I thought it was pretty funny how the car was on fire and the 2 lead actors absolutely HAD to take their clothes off to avoid literally dying of heat. Any excuse to show a bit of skin.

The "eye-candy" was the only thing that kept me watching the whole episode. Agree with everyone else, the acting, effects, story and especially what they did to KITT (pickup truck, ridiculous spoiler and hood scoop) made me almost stop watching.

I can't believe how far they strayed from the two-hour movie they made, which I actually thought was quite entertaining.
