I watched a bunch of the Scott Bakula decades ago on a marathon. It was okay. Sort of.
The new series was getting such hype, I thought I would give it a look. From what I saw, nothing has changed. Like most broadcast TV offerings, the characters are all pretty stock. They had the whacky gay character. They had the overbearing boss. The male lead has lots of quips. In the first episode, the Leaper goes to Philadelphia to stop the burglary of the hope diamond and save the man who's wife is on dialysis. And the production team didn't do a lot to convince me the city was actually Philadelphia, especially when they did a car chase under a very iconic pedestrian overpass in downtown Los Angeles.
It was all kind of meh and very 1980s TV.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
