I’ve seen a lot of stuff with J Lo in it and never once did I come away thinking she was someone who could play a serious sci fi role.
This trailer kinda affirms that, a lot.
I did come away from this thinking she could do well as a cheerfully out of touch middle-aged mom who is pretty sure she's a dork, but isn't 100% convinced she is.
I guess if the trailer just makes me focus on someone pretending to be the character, it was probably miscast. The rest of the trailer also looks like expensive B-movie half-assery a la Red Notice, so I'm not going to get too worked up over it, though.
The whole thing, unfortunately, just doesn't look particularly good. Usually Sci-Fi shows are either complete trash or get cancelled after a couple seasons (typically when the plot thickens).
She is a strong actress, I really liked her in Shades of Blue. But yeah, she can't really play in sci fi.... It's just green screens and computers.
