Time After Time (2017)
Avoid this mess at all costs. Watch the 1979 original movie instead.
I really wanted to like this since the original movie is one of my favorite movies ever.
Horrible writing, bad character development and nothing positive. I finally had to turn it off for good when (SPOILER) Jane had knocked THE Jack the Ripper unconscious and helpless at her feet... so she takes another possible victim and carefully steps over one of the first and greatest serial killers of all time.
Even if I was not the intended victim of Jack the Ripper, which she was, I am betting I would do better than carefully stepping over him so he could continue his murder spree for at least another 11 episodes.
Jane sees a newspaper showing she was the latest victim of Jack the Ripper BUT when given the chance to kill, or at least capture him, she carefully steps over him (instead of smashing his head in with her shoes or anything in the room). If I know someone intends to kill me, I fight for my life... not just leave him alone to make sure he can kill me and others. Once I see a movie or TV where the intended victim lets the murderer go free to kill again and again and again and again, I turn if off and never look back.
Save time you will never get back and be sure to carefully step over this "poop". It will hopefully be canceled soon anyway. I need to go back in time and make sure to warn myself to avoid this mess. Go back and watch/re-watch the incredible 1979 movie.

Please eat the kid and horrible writers now !
Bad writing that gives a bad name to bad writing.
I suspect this was written by some hacks that were doing drugs or smashed out of their minds... or else trying to write a parody of bad f rate movies. I took it as the latter just to get through it.
Perhaps it is supposed to be a comedy horror like "Scary Movie" but many of the characters are written so badly that it comes off as written by high school dropouts. The bad CGI and rubber monsters is laughable but probably not intentionally funny. SyFy has done many fun movies (like Sharnado) but they have smart, funny writing... this does not. It plays out as if someone had a few days to churn out a sequel and no real budget.
I want to see an alternate scene where the kid slips, falls in the lake and is eaten in one bite. They SPOILER kill the dog but not the kid? Some of these characters are so stupid it is amazing they managed to be as old as they are. In a weird turn, the stupid kids somehow manages to transform into Magyver. I guess they wanted to redeem the stupid kid so he is suddenly is useful.
Inane characters and stupider plot lines but a few glimmers of good dialogue every so often. Colin Ferguson and Michael Ironside do the best they can with the script and Yancy Butler gets in a few good lines but most seem like too stupid to be anything but croc snacks.
Most of the time I am cheering on the crocs.
Instead of just one giant croc, they have two large ones and several ones as they go after several groups (teens, croc hunter, family) where the plots intermingle.
SyFy has lots of fun movies but this seems unintentionally funny (WTF type, not Simpsons or Scary Movie funny).
