Tom Swift

....and it got worse and worse after that. But we shouldn't be surprised because it's a CW show. And you know that the first season will be okay but the seasons after that will just suck. That's how CW works.

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..

So I watched only to see what they would do with the venerable, intrepid adventurer and scientist. They made him into a CW TV series. Manufactured suspense, gay sex with a twist of fabulous and special effects that were hardly worth the effort. As mentioned elsewhere why use the 20th century American literary character if you are going to change LITERALLY everything about him? Making this a unique character, a person of his own time and place which he is, would have made this far more successful with its target audience, presumably habitual CW viewers. The only thing the two Tom's have in common is they are both wealthy industrialists (played down in the original character) and apparently are creative inventors although all the current Tom's accomplishments are in the past unless you count the extra special detergent he's forced to create in the first episode Can't see that as one of the old books. The "adventure " seems to be a quest for pieces of a mystery. Does this show's actual audience even know who Tom Swift is?

I thought I had found another science fiction series, bot NOPE!!!. The character Tom Swift is annoying and too extra , unlike in the book series. If the book series was popular then the producers and writers could have given a closer version of the character.

When I saw this new series advertised, as an old Tom Swift Jr. Book fan, I had to watch. Unfortunately, it is garbage. I disliked the level of science displayed. I disliked the plot. I disliked the actors. On top of all that the CGI was poor.

Todays television has some amazing Sci-Fi shows (The Expanse for example) that you can watch with a much more productive use of your time.

Watch something else than Tom Swift.
