Ehhh I’ll give it a shot. The whole complaint seems to be that it’s the same show as before? That’s what I want…
People that use “cringe” unironically are typically referring to others that are simply not embarrassed to be open or outgoing. I could see that being the case about this show.
Is anyone surprised? When has a TV
rebootrevival worked?Futurama was revived multiple times. The quality of the Hulu revival may be debatable but the Comedy Central revival was undeniably successful.
Whether you like Family Guy or not, its revival was definitely a major financial success for Fox.
Financial success isn’t my personal benchmark, but I don’t argue your point there. I think the first revival of Futurama was worth it, since it was cancelled too early, but the latest stuff has definitely made me say “just leave it alone at this point”
I was really digging the Saved by the Bell reboot. I thought it had enough awareness and edge to really tear into the original’s classless, atemporal premise. I think streaming has kind of turned media consumption into an amorphous firehose of “content” and slop where anything struggles to register. I do think that if SbtB had hit a little earlier, on a service anyone gave a fuck about (Peacock? are you kidding me?) it might have found its footing.
I guess Cobra Kai is my real answer.
I very much enjoyed Dexter Resurrection. New blood was Ok, but I think it was due to that aweful ending on the original ending
While the show might be bad, using “cringe” in a professional media review article is just embarrassing. The word even in casual use is just bad and says more about the speaker than what they’re speaking about. In a “professional” critique, the word provides absolutely zero information other than the to the quality of the article itself.
*Just watched the first two episodes - it’s Scrubs, but updated. Nothing wrong with it unless you don’t like Scrubs in the first place.
