I wonder if they can capture the mood of the original series. It was very fitting for the period in which it was made (1978-1981 during the cold war) and was a dystopia warning us of an all controlling central government.

I wonder how they would translate that with all  the changes the world has seen in the last 30 years (internet, smartphones, collapseof the USSR, etc.) Even if they set it 120 years later, the whole story would change.
