Where have we seen this all before?

There's no doubt in my mind that this show is a retread.

After 30 minutes of the opening installment my deja vu is pinging all over the place from a bad fantasy mini that I remember from a few years ago.

The opening scene with the Oracle and the character getting wounded and healing himself (Chris Lloyd in this version), the woman saying that she's "just a lowly human" ... I've seen it all before.

Pretty bad when you can't even afford an original script and make alterations to a script from a bad show from some time back.

I checked the year expecting to see that this was a rerun from 2005 or some such, and was really amazed to find out that this is supposed to be a 'new' 'original' production.
