It is likely a new incarnation of the old series (I have seen some
re-runs of it). A bit like Mission: Impossible or Star Trek.
I wonder about the effects of series like this. They often have
anti-transhuman messages, but at the same time they spread the ideas
about cryonics, uploading etc, making them part of our culture. That
should not be ignored, the trick is to make sure they get the right
positive valence.
