Season 1 Review:
Reboot is at its best when it takes shots at a business that could withstand more of them, leaning into the meta spiral of a show about a show. ... Handling the meta-sitcom is trickier; Reboot struggles to differentiate its fictional stars from the caricatures they play, on Step Right Up and off.

Season 1 Review:
At its core, it’s about a program within a program that’s being pushed and pulled between old-fashioned comedy and a more progressive brand of humor, and there’s a meta reading of “Reboot” itself wherein it’s doing the exact same thing. This is interesting on paper. Sadly, that doesn’t make it funny.

Season 1 Review:
In the end, Reboot seems caught between wanting to skewer the old ways and desperately missing their simple satisfactions. There are twists in the series opener that came as a genuine surprise, but nothing is so messy or nuanced that it can’t be settled by a good punchline. The show wants to have its meta-cake and eat it too.
