Knight Rider

A modern reimagining of the classic 1980s series, this revival follows Mike Tracer, a skilled operative who is given a state-of-the-art, weaponized, artificially intelligent Mustang named KITT. He joins the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG) to fight crime and injustice, often operating outside the law with KITT's advanced capabilities.

The 2008 revival of Knight Rider received a generally lukewarm reception. While some appreciated the update to the iconic franchise and the sleek new KITT, many critics found the storylines to be formulaic and the characters underdeveloped. It struggled to recapture the magic of the original series, leading to a relatively short run.

• Appreciated the updated KITT technology and action sequences.

• Found the plot and character development to be lacking compared to the original.

• Considered it a decent, albeit forgettable, reboot of a beloved classic.

Google audience: Viewers were divided, with some enjoying the high-tech action and the updated KITT. However, many felt the show didn't live up to the nostalgia of the original series and found the plots predictable.

The new KITT in the 2008 series was a Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang, a limited edition model that was also released to the public that year, albeit without the artificial intelligence.
