MaxFly Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 My wife and I enjoyed it a lot... and I mean, a lot! It was so fun seeing a reimaging of something we've seen so often and know so well. I've always thought that the general story lent itself well to a more serious, dramatized version, and I think they did an excellent job translating it for a modern audience. The easter eggs are fun and really test your memory of the original. I'd suggest that anyone who is a fan of the original avoid watching it again as preparation for the remake. Test your memory and familiarity with the original by seeing how well you can connect the new version to the old. I have a bunch of other thoughts (mostly positive) regarding some of the casting and story choices they made, but I'll hold off and let others chime in.

Admin Hero1 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hey man - you need to join me for a podcast about this. I thought Jabari Banks was really well cast, and does a great job as Will. I’m definitely invested after one episode. It’s something completely different, but that’s why I like it.

Big Willie Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I thought it was pretty dope. Once you learn to isolate it as it’s own project rather than relaying to the original, it’s actually a really cool dramatic spin. The occasional nod to the original series is excellent too, and a few familiar faces show up at time. Really enjoyed it. Much better than the Saved By the Bell renewal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I’ve finished the season - I enjoyed it. My fav characters are Hillary, Jazz and Aunt Viv in the new version. It will be interesting to see what storyline’s they have for season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
