The Telegraph Jasper Rees

Oct 3, 2023

Such is the sharp delineation of the writing and acting that they [Eve (Jess Salgueiro) and Olivia (Toks Olagundoye)] feel familiar within an episode. Freddy’s fire crew are also great value. .... Does it work? On the strength of the first five episodes, very much so. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Oct 10, 2023

Unlike the wretched reboot of Sex and the City, Frasier’s team has managed to update the comedy’s situation, incorporate Frasier’s greater age and its different challenges and diversify its casting without apparent strain. It feels like an organic progression rather than something flung together by a frightened committee. Read full review

Liz Shannon Miller

Oct 10, 2023

In comparison to other revival series to recently roll out, there’s an authentic feel to Frasier’s return that keeps it from feeling too much like a faded photocopy of the original. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Oct 10, 2023

Little may remain other than a title and an endearing snobbery, but, just like Theseus’s ride before it, the spirit of Frasier remains intact. Not quite seaworthy, perhaps, but just about afloat. Read full review

Lili Loofbourow

Oct 10, 2023

The show leans hard on the parallels between Martin’s disapproval of Frasier and Frasier’s disapproval of Freddy. That’s a markedly derivative framework: good for driving an episode or three, but it doesn’t feel capable of powering a series. Read full 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. Read full review

This new “Frasier” is no old “Frasier.” It’s as bad and cringeworthy as you could possibly imagine. Read full review
