Avis à la une
Matt Okine should seriously apologise to the original cast of the original show. This is AWFUL in every sense of the word, it isn't funny, it has NO heart and takes everything away from the original, ABC should send out an apology to everyone that had to endure the first season... And apologize to the audience for the second season it's about to get.
I cannot believe this was greenlighted in the first place. It was one of the WORST shows that aired in 2023 and that's saying something there were some shockers but this one takes the cake.
Nothing good about this being tacky, with two main cast members who are actually good comedians but the terrible writing and script throws it for a loop and out the window.
Truly trash, watch the original instead because it is so much better then what this version served up.

If you never heard or watched any episodes of the classic iconic great Australian comedy from 1980s-1990s, then you will probably enjoy this series more. I personally wish this new reboot had nothing to attached itself to the old classic. Unfortunately they have taken characters names and well, the rest is completely new. In fact, I feel by using the same character names it somewhat offensive and will upset the older hardcore fans. They should have created new identities, and not even called a reboot.
The other problem I have with this show is a complete lack of understanding of dementia and carers. The writers did not do their homework. I myself am a carer for my elderly father. My dad has good days and bad days. And I do connect with Arthur'd frustration. But the writers are completely clueless of different issues affecting the elderly. And the writers certainly do not know about any of the financial assistance available and the different services out there to assist. They have created Arthur as the son who seems more like a freeloader bum by making out there is something wrong with Maggie who had an accident while cooking one day. Meanwhile, Robbie should be investigated for taking advantage of her Mother and have any powers limited. In all following episodes, there is actually nothing wrong with Maggie. Is this done on purpose?
I initially watch this new comedy thinking it was gping to be a possible laugh out enjoyment. Its not funny. But did enjoy it for Arthur's story. And for that I gave it caring 7/10.

Who thought this was a good idea?
If ever there was proof that Australian TV is a cultural desert, here it is. Also proof that you need a lot more than the inclusion of minorities and "box ticking" to make something memorable in a good way. Not a single laugh out loud moment in the first episode, or any tangible pathos or even a moment of authentic affection. All hallmarks of the original series. Why do we not have any directors who will play a straight bat with the "talent" and tell them that this is not Home And Away and you need to show some skills here. Denise Scott may have pulled it off with a proper script but the casting just didn't work.

This remake was a real missed opportunity. Unfortunately it seems it was more about box ticking instead of making an entertaining and endearing show. I like Arthur, and the actor who plays Maggie, but the other changes were a bit much. The original Maggie was more senile, the new Maggie is just more like a sour old lady who plays 'the victim'. It's not endearing.
I also disagree with changing Robbie to a female and being in a same sex relationship. That's purely a box ticking change rather than one that adds to the show's likeability. It seems they were more worried about being politically correct than making an endearing show like the original. It is perfectly fine of course having the family as multicultural, the actor who plays Arthur is perfect in the role. They could have simply evolved the story around this. Even having Robbie as a female is okay, even though her personality is off. If you're going to change or have certain elements in the show they need to add to the story, not just to tick boxes to be 'politically correct'.
This sadly makes it a drama about a son and daughters struggle with a sour about life mother whom they love, rather than a comedy.

EDIT : its not because I loved The old one and wanted to see an identical remake .... Re Imagined would be fine , if it didnt suck
OK I gave it a shot ..despite the obvious ...politics installed
It was worse than i expected ... remaking classics is usually a bad idea But remaking a classic with every joke made in those classics thrown at you in the first few scenes is ... i cant think of a word.... pathetic ? Ridiculous ? Uncreative?
I tried skipping a bit ...thought maybe a new cast ..first few scenes first day ... no it got worse.
Acting is atrocious!!
Jokes ...been have done and out of context are not funny I really wish the tax [payer could fund some reasonable comedy shows these days Comedy is comedy because its funny , not because someone re wrote an old joke inserted a minority group and used as many cliches as they could think of
save yourself do not watch.
