Anyone else get a "Burn Notice" vibe from this show
I am going to push through and see if this gets any better.
shareWell Burn Notice was known for being inspired majorly by the original MacGyver. The whole duct tape thing was the major running joke as a comparison between the two shows. So this one is kind of like a combination between the original and Burn Notice. I wanted it to feel a lot more like Burn Notice, but unfortunately it didn't. I'm still going to watch because I love action shows. I was actually surprised to see just how low the rating on here was. I didn't expect it to be a 10, but I definitely wasn't expecting a 4.6.
shareI agree with you. I do not feel the vibes with the cast yet

Which was another "good premise, exceptionally bad execution".
This is the answer to another thread where the question was why people didn't just tune out and ignore what is/was going on with the show.
It associates a stink with a particular project and to overcome it, you'll have to wait another five years or find an alternative; e.g. Burn Notice.
Instead of coming up with some concept for an episode or series which is real, they come up with something and worry about whether "is it plausible? at all?" or how little they have to change to make it plausible. They'd rather go with their imagination, not that of someone who has knowledge & experience about a topic.
And there is plenty of reality which is far more interesting than their shortsightedness.
A perfect example is juggling. If someone talks about someone capable of juggling 15 balls in a movie or on TV, you know they aren't on Earth. The first online discussion about the limitations created by Earth's gravity was about 25 years and people posted the necessary math to show 13 was the limit, even if it's with a machine doing the dirty work. You could juggle more, say on the moon, but you'd have to have a machine start the pattern and then you'd have to steal it.
