This was a show that had such amazing potential, some memorable moments and good action. The only downside was that it was cancelled so early, mainly because nobody watched episode zero ( the pilot episode which came out earlier before the ‘08 series started ) and started to poorly judge it. Honestly, I hope that someone picks up the pieces and continues where this series left off. As someone who really enjoyed both the original and ‘08 series would really like that.

I enjoyed the CONTINUATION of the original series, Yes I did love the original as well! such a shame many did not see the movie online before watching series in which ultimately lead to its cancelation due to the fact people FALSELY ACCUSED it being just another remake. Should have watch the online movie which lead to the series to begin with, there where many hints in it that where perfectly clear the show was NOT a remake!!😠
