I've just finished the first two episodes. As a fan of the original movie and being in my fifties, this series is definitely not for me. It's got none of the suspense, tension or build of the original, a weird teen genius who eats apples and appears to be a moron, super-fast synthetic children in adult form who move painfully slowly at all times. Sorry but I just found the whole thing utterly ridiculous.

Also - it's still just set in a spaceship, it just happens to be crashed into the side of a building.

Very disappointing.

I loved the Accountant. It had heart. It showed the main character and built on his personality and behaviours throughout the film. His savant tendencies were well explored and it was intriguing to see him execute his sniper skills with equal aplomb.

Film 2 has none of it. It's just a Jason Statham style shoot-em-up with poor plot, little characterisation and ... I'll say it ... what happened to Ben Affleck's face? He's obviously had work done and looks like a different actor.

The whole story lacks depth, I don't love any of the characters and I don't hate any of them either.

Like almost every sequel - fails to live up to the first one.
