Our Review
Quantum Leap (2022) is a drama and science-fiction series from NBC. It has built a run of 31 episodes at roughly 60 minutes each. It premiered on September 19, 2022. Viewers rate it 5.6 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What Quantum Leap Is About
It’s been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song, has been assembled to restart the project in hope of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 60 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 31 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its drama/science-fiction roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Raymond Lee, Nanrisa Lee and Caitlin Bassett to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Raymond Lee, Nanrisa Lee, Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, Ernie Hudson and Peter Gadiot lead the cast.
Key roles include Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song; Nanrisa Lee as Jenn Chou; Caitlin Bassett as Addison Augustine; Mason Alexander Park as Ian Wright; Ernie Hudson as Herbert "Magic" Williams.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, science-fiction and mystery have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside NBC’s other originals, a 5.6/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2022 and carried by NBC with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and science-fiction viewers.
How Quantum Leap Compares
If Quantum Leap lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/science-fiction lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Quantum Leap is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Raymond Lee and Nanrisa Lee doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/science-fiction roots, It has held up since 2022 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Quantum Leap is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and science-fiction lane, at 31 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 5.6/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 5.6/10. Watch it if you want drama/science-fiction you can settle into.
