I can understand updating and sexxing up the storyline to make it more attractive to current young audiences, and CW's Riverdale is an excellent example at how well they managed that.
But this time CW went too far and forgot that story .... is not just the most important thing but the only thing.
Tom Swift is Black ... and gay. And likes to weld bare chested. He talks a little Gangsta and so does the family's taste in houses, cars, fashion and .... swag. Ok maybe it's supposed to be camp ... but if it is, it's not funny. People die on an exploding spacecraft sent to Saturn and a security guard gets his neck snapped.
I will not be watching another episode. I was simply too embarrassed for all the people involved in the production. It is nearly unforgivably bad.
