De Volta aos Rafters

This reboot is definitely worth watching for so many reasons. My only complaint that Carbo is so annoying to the extent he almost ruins the show. Bring him back for 2 minutes....but does he need to be is so many scenes. Would of been so much better to bring back Coby....he was a character with watching.

Viewer of original series. First few seasons were funny, warm, challenges overcome. Reboot season one of Back to the Rafters. Same enjoyable sibling relationships between brothers and older sister. Same capture of love amid struggles between Julie and Dave. Same fun energy. Ruby is written to be agenda-driven. No adorable addition to the family. Look at Home Improvement TV show to see what a child her age can get into with comic results. We already see agenda in the news, do not need it shoved at us every time we tune into Back to the Rafters. Nate should see professional success if he has to attend graduate school to do it for a redirect. If a season two is forthcoming, turn up the humor and tone down Ruby. Actors are wonderful.

The overall show is quite enjoyable. The character Ruby is played by an amazing little actress, but the character is written to be an insufferable little brat that will likely grow up to be jailed repeatedly for violent protesting.

Agree that I, too, am missing many of the original gang including Jake, Coby etc. In the original series, I found that some characters grew on me but, alas, not the much loved Julie who gave new meaning to passive-aggressive. And for goodness sake, get a hairstyle! Or a comb! Missing the original Rachel, too. Only one episode into Back and yes, Ruby does seem beyond precocious.

It's great to have the Rafters back but the show really needs to tone down Ruby's character. The first six seasons weren't super 'woke' or 'pc' so why does so much of it need to be now? Literally shoved down your throat every five minutes and it feels out of place. If there's a season two they really need to tone it down.
