BTS was better than the original, easily. LIS had two key moments that were super powerful, at the ends of episodes 2 and 4, but a lot of it was nonsense or filler. BTS's writing was consistently strong, largely because of the dynamic between Chloe and Rachel, and I'd much rather listen to Chloe's thoughts and watch her actions than mousy Max.

LIS certainly should have been better. The premise of being able to rewind time has so many applications. There just weren't enough places where you could do that meaningfully, and then it evolved into other weird powers later on rather than sticking to what should have made it work. But because LIS takes the time to cultivate all these characters, it's that much more powerful when we see the continuation of them -- even if it is a prequel and therefore we know where these people end up. Simply seeing how Chloe changes from who she is during that gulf between her happy childhood with Max to the counter-culture defiant bitch she becomes is extremely rewarding.
