'In Search Of' episode 3 review: 'Monsters of the Deep' doesn't live up to its name
Three episodes in, Zachary Quinto appears to be the show's only redeemable aspect with little else holding up to the high standards of the original
'In Search Of' got off to quite an inconspicuous start considering the lofty expectations set by its much more famous predecessor. It would be the second time the show would be getting its reboot after History's first misguided attempt to have Mitch Pileggi host the show in 2002, but this time, they got smarter with their casting. On board came Zachary Quinto, very much the like-for-like replacement for the venerable Leonard Nimoy. After all, who better to take up the mantle than the man who took up the role of Spock in 2009's 'Star Trek'? All things considered, the first two episodes do indicate that Quinto was an exceptional choice. Unfortunately, he appears to be the only good thing about the show.
