I like it so far, it's definitely not the old Night Court but it's beginning (after 3 episodes) to feel a bit familiar.
It certainly wouldn't be as good without John Larroquette....he's definitely the soul of this version. It. Melissa Rauch and Lucretta are funny and seem to be relaxing a bit more in the third episode.
In time it will, I believe, do a bit better and be a little more funny. It sometimes takes these shows some time...especially when it's a reboot of such a beloved show with such a memorable cast.
I'm continuing to watch it and will revisit my rating after a few more episodes.
This is one that I really want to like so I'm giving it a chance.

My son and I went to see the movie about one and a half weeks ago and it was enjoyable enough. First things first, it's absolutely a stunningly beautiful piece of animation. The only issues I had were with the story...it's the same old "evil settlers vs the peaceful natives" storyline. It's overused and beaten to death. Way too predictable, you know exactly what is going to happen before it happens. The characters are the same, too predictable to the point of being boring. You know exactly who is going to be captured and held for "ransom", who is going to fight back & get killed and who is going to be "defiant" and screw up all of the best laid plans. It's BADLY formulaic, simplistic and a bit silly.
Finally, it's just too long for the plot. It got to the point where it was just dragging on for the sake of dragging on.
Overall it was ok, not nearly as good as the first one.

I read the novel YEARS ago, it took me quite a while because Frank Herbert just stretches things out SO much. Then came the first film, the theatrical version was HORRIBLE...it was too much to try to plug into a couple of hours. The DIRECTOR'S CUT was better, but it still suffered.
Now, this new version has gotten it so much better, it's still not perfect BUT you simply cannot translate everything in the novel onto the big screen. Still, this is just ONE HALF of Denis Vilneuve's vision...and so far I am VERY impressed.
