Second of all: I have seen the whole first season, all 8 episodes. It may have been financially prudent to attach the show to the well-established brand because it helped sell it around the world but I feel like the inevitable backlash this always creates when certain expectations are raised and subsequently disappointed may have done more harm than good, as evidenced by most of the user reviews on here so far. This show shares some of the DNA with the aforementioned property (most noticeably parts of the iconic soundtrack) but it's really its own thing.
First of all: Don't expect this to be either a remake of the original movie or even a sequel, as has been advertised.
