Dr. Ben Song, lead physicist of a top-secret government time-travel program known as Quantum Leap, makes an unauthorized leap into the past, awakening in a different body with only fragments of his memory intact. Guided by Addison, a colleague in the present day who appears to him as a hologram that only he can see and hear, he discovers the only way for him to leap again is to correct something in his host person's life. As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right what once went wrong, his team in the present tries to figure out why he leaped and bring him home.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This more serialized reboot of Quantum Leap has enough heart to merit a look from viewers with the luxury of time, but it often forgets to have fun with the episodic structure that made the original a classic.

It is cheesier than a brie fondue with a mozzarella dipper, but it’s entertaining. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 10/18/2022
NBC is banking on this Quantum Leap scratching the same tonal itch as its predecessor. So far, it’s doing the job in the only way it really ever could have. Go to Full Review Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle 10/04/2022
It remains to be seen if it’ll manage to match the original, both for its timeless whimsy and thematic thoughtfulness, but oh boy, here’s hoping. Go to Full Review Karl Puschmann New Zealand Herald 02/12/2025
It's clearly not a prestige show. Some of the effects would have looked ropey even back in the original, but it is a breezy watch and a solid family show. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 01/11/2023
3/5
Meanwhile, it offers enough backstory to help those unfamiliar with the original appreciate the quirky, sometimes chaotic situations Dr. Song finds himself in. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 01/10/2023
It’s clear from the care and attention shown onscreen so far that the creators definitely have an affinity for the sensibilities of the series. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jess L. @JessLee Nov 30 Full review on season 2 note as well! I will say i liked the start of this whole thing but quite frankly it should've ended before a season 2 ever started. My main disappointment with this is that it dragged on way longer than it needed. Not just the seasons but the story line itself was nauseatingly long and off topic in general. Some of the episodes were good for what they were. Other than that I am confident in my grading/ rating of this series. I will say season 1 was the better out of the two but not recommending to anyone because as soon as it gets good. It ends See more Andrew M @RT05645219 Nov 19 I found the story's in the best part to be ok but having all this gender bull jammed down your throat in every second episode to much to bare. Some of the disenjenous character building also took away from the story line.

If you’re hoping for a Scott Bakula cameo, don’t. It’s watchable but not as much fun as the original. The actors don’t feel like they’re comfortable in the skin of their characters. Perhaps this will improve as the show goes on. See more Read all reviews
