That '90s Show

This show has it all. Diversity, 15 years old strong feminists, Winnie the Pooh, canned laughs, walking ad for plastic surgeries gone wrong, bad actors and all the other typical Netflix things. What it doesn't have is soul, jokes or anything 90' related. I watched 5 episodes and haven't laughed once, not even a giggle. I gave the show 2 stars; 1 for Red and Kitty and 1 for old characters cameos, everything else isn't worth a star.

The kids should all be replaced by real professionals or ditched all together. Bring the old crew back and make the show about them, their lives in the 90'. It would be far more interesting than this thing, whatever this is.

If it wasn't for the original cast cameos it wouldn't be worth watching. There are some good jokes from the new cast but they don't have that same connection that the original cast had. It seems like they're all still learning. The originals first season also felt that way but you could tell there was something there I don't feel that this new cast has that it factor.

Debra and Kurtwood are still on their A game and they somehow look and seem younger than in the original. Idk what they've been doing the past 20 years but they need to spill the beans because whatever it was it worked. It's definitely worth a watch tho.

Well it wasn't actually bad. But sadly it survived only with the help of the old cast, without them it would of been quite a disappointment.

The new cast of kids was not really that bad, but it was not good either. The main character was bland and unfunny as a bag of stones. The needed character to be politically correct seemed to be from the future not from the '90s. And now we basicly have two Kelsos - one good looking and one that plays football or something. I didn't really get the point of the footballers girlfriend, why is she even there?

But the biggest problem I had with the show, was the really confusing and strange '90s world they made up. In 1995 I was 15 just like these kids are and I can't recognize this version of the time. It's just not right at all.

Well today I binge watched the whole first series and I thought it was okay and yes just okay.

Being a big fan of the original series I thought I would give this series a serious go and watch the whole first season before embarking on a review.

A lot of the stories have come from the original series such as the first episode was about a keg which was done in the original series, there are many more points that you will notice this throughout the new show.

Now seeing the original cast in this series was a blessing in disguise because if it wasn't for them this show would dive right down the toilet.

The new cast are okay but the acting feels very much forced and it seems as if they're trying to hard to get laughs, which is a letdown.

It's great to see an old cast member in practically every episode and this helps the show.

When it comes down to it if it wasn't for the original cast this show would bomb. They make it. Maybe they should have made a new series with just the original cast in it, who knows, will I watch another season? Only if the original cast are in it.

Watch this for the original cast, they make it.

That '70s Show is one of my all-time favorites. I've seen it so many times that I basically have it memorized. I still watch it to this day. It was super edgy, boundary-pushing, and most importantly, hilarious.

That '90s Show is trying to capture the same formula, but without any sort of edge. The humor is multiple steps down. I laughed a few times per episode. And with only 10 episodes, they rush through a bunch of unearned and unnecessary drama.

It's not all bad and I did find some enjoyment from it. I think they once again did a great job with the casting, especially the lead. I think she could carry the show in the same way Topher Grace did... if it was better. I like most of the characters with my favorite being the dumb one (brella. Rofl).

But the worst part for me was two characters I could not stand. The lesser is the annoying neighbor lady. She seems to be analogous to Bob and Midge, the ones who would interact with Kitty and Red. But that character doesn't hold a candle to the hilarious Pinciotti's.

The character Ozzie has to be one of the worst and most annoying characters I can remember. All he does is give sassy and sarcastic one-liners. Every one of them made me cringe or roll my eyes. EVERY ONE. This is the lowest form of comedy writing.

It's probably just nostalgia, but I may check out a second season and hope that they can do better. Funnier jokes, more edge, and not so Netflixified (meaning general low quality all around). (1 viewing, 1/26/2023)
