Like a lot of white males I was attracted by the name since many of us grew up reading the books. Casting a black lead was an opportunity to update the series but instead this is collection of unrealistic stereotypes on top of ridiculously trite dialog. They apparently skimped on the writing hoping they could distract us with special effects which are equally unimpressive.
This may be one of the worst shows currently running (as you can see from the Rotten Tomato score). I maybe lasted 10 minutes on episode 1.

A thoroughly unlikeable hero with daddy issues, he is arrogant, selfish and has a massive chip on his shoulder. The premise of this show is interesting enough, but the execution is twelfth-grade writing-contest level. Everything is drawn to extremes with little subtlety - the villain is immediately apparent even without a twirly moustache.
The core story is hackneyed, with Flash Gordan level effects, over-earnest, immersion-breaking dialogue and a plot that bounces from serendipity to McGuffins and back to magic tech mumbo jumbo.
Clearly The CW is capable of good TV (Superman & Lois, Stargirl), but this has too many extraneous constraints, competing with the need to write a compelling story.

I was expecting something like a mashup between Alex Rider and Black Panther. After all we have those as examples of highly successful, modern takes on similar story lines. But what I saw was just... garbage. The kind that has been sitting in the sun for a few days. I couldn't even make it through the first episode. The CW should just kill the show right now and replace it with reruns of something - anything - else.
I was excited to see a new possibly updated dated version of Tom swift. I thought maybe it would be for young adults but it would have some meaningful si fi mystery to it.. I mean I
would not let my pre-teen watch it but my kids are grown thank goodness. This show failed on every single account that I can think of. I am by no means homophobic but this is way over the top. The outfits are over the top those big super white shining teeth of Toms are over the top along with his wardrobe. I wouldn't even mind if the show was kind of about youthful fashion but but I can't express my disappointment enough. Im a black woman just to let you know that it's not a race thing..its just a bad bad show..Smh..CW ought to he ashamed..
Very disappointing. I was looking forward to a modern take on Tom Swift. Good news - attractive cast. Bad news: everything else. Acting and dialogue were atrocious. Story line was just plain silly. Hard pass.

- WissenswertesIt took more than 100 years for the Tom Swift character to make it the screen; there are more than 100 novels but almost all efforts to adapt them into film or television have failed. The first effort was in 1914, followed by failed film projects in the 1930s through 1960s. A television pilot was made in 1958, but didn't make it to air and is now considered lost. In the 1970s, Glen A. Larson, who had science fiction success with Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and Knight Rider, attempted a television series to be part of a wheel format; alternating episodes with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Only the latter two were developed into a series. In 1983, a one-off special starring Willie Aames was produced, but poor ratings prevented it from being developed further.
