Riverworld (2010)

I thought the 2003 version of Riverworld by the Syfy Channel was a travesty, but their latest interpretation makes the first version look like a work of genius.

The script is a mess, with little to do with the books, the acting is deficient, one dimensional Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse) does not have enough talent for a lead role, and the direction is cringe worthy. The characters of Samuel Clemens and Youseff provide the only glimmer of entertainment. Not even the addition a cute female samurai to the story can save it.
