Season 2 Review:
The new Frasier isn’t as awful at the beginning of its second season as it was at the beginning of its first. But it’s not great, either. The recommendation is because of all the guest stars that we’re going to see this season and a hope that the first episode of the season won’t be an indicator of what the rest of the season is like.

Season 1 Review:
There are some decent gags in the revival, but the hit rate is undeniably spottier, leading to plenty of moments when the (apparently real) crowd is losing their minds as you stare at your screen, stony-faced and numb (maybe that's just me). Still, Frasier stands out as one of this year's most pleasant surprises – albeit, partly because the potential for failure was so huge.

Season 1 Review:
The new “Frasier” is perfectly palatable, especially for someone who’s worn out every episode of Dr. Crane’s previous escapades. And after a rocky first episode, the cast settles in a little better than one initially fears. But it’ll have to do a lot of legwork to lift itself to the annals of David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee’s iconic sitcom.

Season 1 Review:
The jokes start to become increasingly and glaringly repetitive, relying on the confusion of the characters rather than a more clever sense of charm. Frasier's return could easily find its footing as time goes on, but there is much that has proven to be rocky in the early stages of this return.

Season 1 Review:
This doesn’t really work, not for a lack of trying. It really lies in the writing—where old Frasier’s jokes and character signposts were witty and incisive, new Frasier’s are hacky and hammy, covering too-familiar tropes and topics. .... For all my issues with this revival/spinoff, something undeniable is that Grammer has still got it.

Season 1 Review:
But what's the value of recreating the same dynamics in the namesake character’s life without establishing new challenges for him? The revival forces us to ask that question, especially in the creaky two episodes currently streaming, directed by the legendary James Burrows.

Season 1 Review:
In time, the formula may work. But right now, the organic warmth that inspired the pandemic binging isn’t there yet. .... Grammer overshadows everyone sharing the screen with him other than Lyndhurst, an English comedy legend best known for the 1980s sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
