There were a few funny moments, and I think most of the cast did well enough, Tim Allen's still got it, but it feels kinda detached compared to the three films it was based on, it's still early days and more episodes need to come out so I'm sure the show will find its own identity but feels a little shallow to me at the moment, I don't know it just feels like it's a sardonic take on everything and has none of the warmth, the original films had a good balance of both And the few little bits of social commentary have regressed a bit from the originals as well, they went from "not everyone celebrates Christmas and that's fine" to "you can't even say merry christmas without being called problematic anymore" and that kinda whinging in the writing, but that's a whole different topic in general I'm finding myself pretty tired of most producers nowadays trying to capitalise on Nostalgia rather than take bold steps towards making something new that will also grow to be iconic, there's no faith in originality anymore and that kind of saddens me, people are too afraid of taking risks so instead of going into uncharted territory with something that might be bad but original they just kind of follow a formula and it's pleasing but it's bland predictable mush, regurgitating beloved and successful IPs is good for profits but not for the audiences and the artists, not everything needs a follow-up or a remake too, it's okay to let a story end.
