Knight Rider
Where is the new Knight Rider series going wrong?
A few weeks ago, the all-new series of Knight Rider ditched its original, secret service, anti-terror premise. The agency was shut down, krazy KARR made a brief reappearance, and Sarah became a billionairre thanks to her father's timely death.
And so, the gang (Mike, Sarah, Billy and Zoe - I'm glad they kept Zoe!) formed their own secret organisation which was more in keeping with the original Foundation for Law And Government (FLAG) from the 1980's series. Devon Miles would be proud.
For my part, I'm glad they ditched the secret agency thing, blew Michael's memory loss storyline out of the water and returned to the 'one man can make a difference' premise of the original series. The military backdrop was a great re-introduction to the car and cast of the show, but terrorism quickly became tiresome. I just hope that Michael running around the dusty midwest helping damsels in distress doesn't become equally as tiresome. Besides, in this era of cybercrime, how many rednecks and shady businessmen are out there making hardware store owners cower in fear?
