Man, it's dead in this thread. That's sad.

I thought it was a really good first episode for a revival. Felt as close to the spirit of the original as any "way after the fact" revival series I've seen.

Yeah. For as much as this show came up in this subreddit over the last decade I’d have expected more fanfare. A lot of the articles about the revival made it pretty far up the front page. I really hope this does well, I already want a season four after just one episode.

I feel like Starz has done their very best to market the hell out of this, so I can’t blame them.

That seems to be the case for most revivals and Rob Thomas's other big 00's show Veronica Mars is a good example. Lots of talk and then people don't actually care when it comes back. Hopefully it's just a Friday thing and people watch over the weekend.

The problem is probably that no one has Starz

Seeing this thread surprised me, forgot they were making a new one. A decade ago I would be pumped but it's just been to long I think. No Lizzy Caplan also hurts.

I might check it out one day but i'm in no hurry.

For what it's worth, I thought the whole thing felt very natural and a worthwhile continuation that everyone involved seems to be all-in on.

I like Lizzy Caplan but I didn't particularly miss her presence in this episode. It didn't feel much different from when they swapped out Jane Lynch for Megan Mullally (both of whom are in this revival).

Good to know. I see it has Jennifer Garner, always been a fan since here Alias days so that moves it up the queue.

it looks like she might be a regular cast member?? she's playing a totally different type of character than her kickass stone cold Sydney Bristow character, very bubbly and friendly and super charismatic (closer to 13 Going On 30)
