We're not nerds. We're black nerds...

....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.

Unexpectedly bad

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.

Ouch!

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.

Should be fabulous, sadly it is not.

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.

This is Garbage

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.

Trivia
It 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.
