The first ep started where about episode 209 was in the original. Willie Loomis had a very, very whittled down version of the character here when the original series Willie pulled a knife on people and all this new Willie can do is talk tough (a little). A mega-massive letdown is his character.
When they show Willie trying to find jewels and discovering Barn's coffin and you can see some camera shadows or whatever. Outside of those two weaknesses and seeing Willie aggravatingly cry this is a good ep. The women are beautiful in it too matching the beauty of the original series ladies except for the lady playing Vicki and Alexandra Moltke had a regal beauty ( she came from nobility in real life) and this very comely lady is just one percent less beautiful.
When the show gets to the 18th century it just stinks. The entire show looks like horrible PBS type production though this was made by Dan Curtis--who also made the superior original that had a far more appealing 18th century look. I choose most the original over this in every way but one.
Lara Parker was a very bad left-winger in real life --she was radical Jane Fonda's roommate in college ( see the PS below). New show had a much better Angelique.
PS Ho Cho Minh was a mass-murderer in the 1950s in North Vietnam. Even Ken Burns, the documentary filmmaker himself, showed this of Ho. You can see how wrong Fonda was in her supporting North Vietnam. Lara Parker was a leftist and all wrong too. The new Angelique here in this show had an advantage of not being quite in that terrible league of misguided humans!
