The chemistry among the cast members pushes this series from good to exceptionally funny in an endearing, dysfunctional sort of way. They capture the absurdity of rebooting a show that has no business returning and turn that disaster into great comedy in the process. Read full review

Semantics aside, Reboot is still a very funny show that hits hard at what’s wrong with everything from Peak TV culture (Krista Marie Yu plays Elaine, a Hulu executive who does her job by metrics and spreadsheets) to legendary sitcom writer hackery (“he lost his job because he falls asleep whenever he hears a bell!” offers up a TV writer played by former Hill Street Blues actor George Wyner), and proper workplace conduct in a post-MeToo era.

There’s no question Hollywood loves to look at itself and a TV show about a TV show is more than a bit indulgent. But audiences also like to look at Hollywood and “Reboot” at least manages to be witty and entertaining. Read full review

Reboot has a structurally sound plot to support itself and a perfectly assembled cast to work with. All it needs is a tad more retooling. Read full review

Reboot is a show that is going for actual, out-loud laughs and very often gets them — thanks to clever writing, a crackerjack cast and a cheerful willingness to go for the broad humor of, say, an avalanche of popcorn (albeit with a knowing wink). If it’s neither as cutting nor as heartwarming as it could be, that is, in a way, part of its charm. ... Finding and maintaining that balance does sometimes prove a challenge, however.

“Reboot” benefits from a great cast – Judy Greer and Paul Reiser are among the show’s series regulars – and some funny moments. But occasionally it feels like there’s something missing. ... Still, “Reboot” has enough going for it that I’ll stick with it to see how it develops in later episodes. Read full review

The show’s overqualified cast—which also includes Keegan Michael-Key and Judy Greer—at least wring mild comedy from even hackneyed cracks about clashing age groups and the sort of timing-based gags that tend to involve the phrase, “He’s right behind me, isn’t he?” Read full review

Perfect. Zippy jokes. Good character chemistry. Just the right amount of heart. It’s got a little Arrested Development, a little 30 Rock while still being its own thing. Highly recommended.

I quite enjoyed this show. It has a great cast, an interesting premise and some really funny scenes. I think it could do a better job showing the parallels between the Dad & Daughter's relationship and their history and the show they are producing as that was sometimes clunky.

I think it could do a better job showing the parallels between the Dad & Daughter's relationship and their history and the show they are producing as that was sometimes clunky. Really enjoyed the scenes with the new and old writers discussing jokes and their lives. I like that it connects the younger woke writers and the older boomer ones and they can often find common ground and some mutual respect.… Expand

A family sitcom that was a hit 20 years ago is revived with the original cast, played by Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville and Judy Greer, plus a young new writer (Rachael Bloom, and you can't tell me they didn't have Liz Lemon in mind when they created her look). Naturally, the passageA family sitcom that was a hit 20 years ago is revived with the original cast, played by Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville and Judy Greer, plus a young new writer (Rachael Bloom, and you can't tell me they didn't have Liz Lemon in mind when they created her look). Naturally, the passage of time has altered their lives and relationships with the other cast members. Steven Levitan, who's best known for creating Modern Family, has infused surefire humurous energy throughout and mined the comic abilities of his talented cast. Ironically, most of the funniest moments come from the culture clashes in the writer's room, which is a combo of young "wokes" and old school types. Like most classic TV sitcoms, Modern Family had 24 episodes in the first season to establish itself. This time Levitan only had 8. While the show isn't at the level of Levitan's biggest hit, with some time it may grow from a mildly amusing comedy into a truly hilarious hit.… Expand
