Season 1 Review:
Malcolm's creator Linwood Boomer and his collaborators put the passage of time front and center. Life's Still Unfair doesn't try to act like it's normal that all these people are acting the same way after decades have passed. It's entirely about how unhealthy so much of this is. It only occasionally resembles the highs of the show's younger incarnation, but it's acknowledging that challenge the entire time.

Season 1 Review:
This finale certainly has a heartfelt moment or two, but the show overall is wholly unnecessary. Aside from Cranston and Kaczmarek, who remain pitch-perfect nearly three decades later, none of the other jokes truly land or reveal anything significant about the original sitcom — the majority of the comedy in “Life’s Still Unfair” feels clunky and forced.
