What Went Wrong With Knight Rider Sequel………?
Hey people! So the new Knight Rider TV Show is here to entertain us all. But everything does not seem to be right with this sequel to the original adventure cum action drama. Whereas the original series was an instant hit the new series has barely been able to stand on its feet. Perhaps that is why the series has been cut short by four full episodes and at least three characters are also being removed from the series. So I just thought to take a look at the reasons behind the series inability to get the success that the original series enjoyed.
Well, personally I feel that the popularity of the original series rested on many reasons. First, the concept of a former police detective fighting crime with the help of hi-tech car that could even talk was very innovative at that point of time. It was an era when things like auto navigation, artificial intelligence, talking machines etc. were not things that common people talked about. Secondly, the idea of giving a new face to an almost dead human being was also not very old. Thirdly, the series covered crimes that could be faced by any common man which appealed to the audiences in a more personal manner.
As for the sequel, the series has premiered in an era when science fiction has acquired an entirely new meaning with series where the adventures are related to an extra territorial world. So the concept of a crime fighting car with an ex-cop at its helm seems a bit obsolete. Also the series, rather than focusing on neighborhood crime, has covered the broader concept of terrorism which even though has affected most of the people does not have a personal appeal. Thirdly, the series also suffered due to a collection of characters which seemed totally unnecessary. And finally I feel that the show has suffered most due to its becoming an advertiser for various political agendas. I mean come on who would like the idea of being fed with political thoughts instead of being entertained!
