Review by JackHammer69

The Wonder Years

7/10

Up to episode 8 and enjoying it

There is an agenda in this show, yes. But it's delivered in such a way that they're not clobbering you over the head with it. If they were to make it realistic, the show would have been another HBO style R rated (or NC-17) drama/thriller. We've already seen "Them" and we get the point. Pretty sure anybody with a heart will never be able to watch that tragedy again.

I think the people who are really upset with this show are probably hardline Christians - and Aryan fanciers...

To me, this show contains some of the spirit of the original with its lessons, Dean's overly dramatic daydreams and some of the family dynamics. However, Bill Williams is just cool - he's no terrifying Jack Arnold 😂 Just a look from Jack scared the crud out of me when I was a kid.

The original show and this one contain some filler, but life contains a LOT of filler. It's good to chill out a bit while watching things.
