Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Brilliant and touching

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This remake is a sacrilegious bastardization of a true TV classic. I understand that it wouldn't be feasible to have a 1982 Firebird fighting crime in 2008, but at least keep it within reason.One of the great things about the original is that all the technologies could exist, as futuristic as they seemed back then. Not once did KITT ever turn into a Transformer. Even today, that's so far-fetched it's ridiculous.The producers should have kept in mind the original audience of KR and catered to them. What's the point of using the KR name to develop a show that has nothing to do with the original premise? They could just as easily have called it "Fast and Furious Transforming Rider" and it wouldn't have made a difference. There's more to Knight Rider than a name and a red light on the front of a car.

what more could you ask for. its got a gorgeous good looking sexy cast and a gorgeous good looking sexy car. storyline is lighthearted and not meant to be taken serious. i mean how much further can you take the storyline of a crimefighting team and a super-car. car and man get mission to stop bad guy and man and car go out and stop bad guy. its got action, jokes, humour and i even had a tear in my eye at some points. cast are great and all gel really well. the original show was good and now they have just updated it and made it better. just don't take the show too serious, sit down, relax and just enjoy the show. i hope there is a 2nd season as it deserves one

Look it's sad to see people just commenting and reviewing programmes but this needs to be said. Any sad lonely person watch the first show and say you know what I don't like it because it's not the same. What people have forgotten is the idea a talking car that's the important bit the rest is just Aesthetics, hating on a programme because it has a turbo boost! Get out of your mother's house you sad loser…. Don't you think that the original writers would have put in stuff like the turbo boost if they had the technology this show is exactly what it should be its how the writers would have preferred it because now the car can do more than talk go fast and grapple stuff.

When I first found out that they were doing a remake to the original Knight Rider, I thought how could they do a remake of it. To me, Knight Rider is with David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight and always will be. I'm not surprised that the new version didn't make it pass Season 1. I managed to watch the 2 hours episode to promote the new version but only because David Hasselhoff makes a cameo appearances it and that was the only thing that interested in me and after that, I wasn't really bothered about watching it. Knight Rider was one of the best things that happened in the 80's and it should stay like it and plus the original Knight Rider was the one that made David Hasselhoff known for who he is.
