    Como toda serie media "reboot", parte de los clásicos cambios de las series de hoy en día. Diversidad, orientación y ciertos aspectos que apelan a la nostalgia para intentar conectar a la vieja audiencia con la nueva.

    Super biased rating here. When my fiancé and I first met, we watched that 70s show on repeat for months, it was our nothing show. Now we’re years down the line, with two kids, in a completely different place of our lives, and this show comes out. It’s like one of our favorite shows has evolved with us. Call it bias, and nostalgia, because that’s what it is, but I love this show.

    If you like the original you will like this. Perfectly balanced, one of the first reboots that actually works.

    Anyone bashing this didn’t watch That 70s Show… The Acting was not Oscar worthy then either… The show captures the energy of the original and leaves so much room for note for a season 2. Hopefully prime stay with this so we actually get a season 2!

    It was not that bad omg people are just rating it low just because it's cool to do that. The 70 is still better than this but it was a nice 1rst season maybe a second season will be greenlight but i'm not sure,

    Diverse for the sake of being diverse and checking as many boxes as it could. Not to mention the acting is terrible

    I couldn't make it past the 5 minute mark. The laugh track every single second is unbearable. It laughs when there aren't even jokes.

While That '70s Show was very cool, calm and fun, That '90s Show is hectic, forced and painfully unfunny.

It's pretty much like watching a bland generic teen show on Disney Channel where everybody act unnatural and over-energetic. The new cast doesn't have any personalities - or they're just intended to be new (really bad) versions of the old - and the old cast have lost theirs. Why is it so hectic? Why is everybody just standing around awkwardly waiting to say their lines? This is horrible writing, horrible acting and horrible directing. This is something you would expect from your local theater group.… Expand

    Even the adorable humor of Red and Kitty couldn’t save this trainwreck of a show. The entire set is one awkward combination of botox, plastic surgery, and pedophile jokes.

    I came in with the most bitter, jaded view; used to the woke garbage Netflix puts out -- but I was gladly surprised! Yes the cast is " diverse " and immersion breaking for a show set on the 90s but the kids do a great job and they are all very likeable; the gay asian guy is hillarious, the main chick looks like a hot young eric foreman and kelso's kid has the SAME smile.

    I enjoyed the nostalgia of the Forman house, Vista Cruiser, Red & Kitty and the rest of the 70s show characters. I generally find myself struggling with these late spin-off/sequels (I'm looking at you HIMYF). But '90s Show manages to do a decent job of being its own show and paying homage to the original.

Where HIMYF tried to deny the connection to HIMYM (unsuccessfully), '90s Show works with it. It feels more like a classic sitcom than you generally see these days.
    There are some chuckles to be found, and I liked most of the new characters. Although I sometimes found Jay, Nikki and Nate a little annoying.

    Overall, it's a decent, fairly entertaining show to watch once. Still, it lacks something I can't put my finger on.    … Expand

    It's a bland generic (and very badly written) teen comedy with a 'XXs show' label slapped on.

    Obviamente tiene que tener un valor de producción por el simple hecho de traer muchos personajes de vuelta, por nostalgia, y conservar la escenografía por tributo y porque es una secuela directa de la anterior... pero en el contexto actual con la cultura despierta y de la cancelación, el humor no puede ser mas que insulso y por encima de todo aburrido, soso y forzado, talvez algun dia,Obviamente tiene que tener un valor de producción por el simple hecho de traer muchos personajes de vuelta, por nostalgia, y conservar la escenografía por tributo y porque es una secuela directa de la anterior... pero en el contexto actual con la cultura despierta y de la cancelación, el humor no puede ser mas que insulso y por encima de todo aburrido, soso y forzado, talvez algun dia, pueda volver haber series entretenidas… Expand

    Pale imitation of the original carried by cameos. Love Kitty and Red, but the new kids are vapid recreations of the originals, and they simply don't resonate. The daughter and neighbor are fine, but their friends are boring ripoff of the old show. I really thought Foreman's daughter and the neighbor would turn out gay, given the current trend of shoehorning that into everything, but wasPale imitation of the original carried by cameos.

I really thought Foreman's daughter and the neighbor would turn out gay, given the current trend of shoehorning that into everything, but was pleasantly surprised they weren't (it may be the 90s but that was still a big thing for a comedy show). No, the little Asian kid is gay, buy they made him so bitter and unlikeable, the opportunity is wasted. Shame, as the kids needed to be the focus, and they are overshadowed by the adults, unlike the original.… Expand

    It was kinda boring, nothing like the original. I kept watching it, waiting for it to get better, but it never did. I liked the Leia Forman and Gwen, but the other actors were lacking something. The group in general lacked the charisma of the original.

    It was not worth watching.

    A decent show that only works because of its predecessor. The new mix of teenaged characters definitely grows on you as you watch, but the old cast, particularly Jo Rupp as Kitty and Smith as Red, really shines.

    That's not for fans of That's 70s show. It's more for kids that were entertained by Nickelodeon or Disney shows back in early 00s. It's completely different vibe.
    They broke original characters and story line from original series. Leia is turning 15, which makes her not Eric's daughter, if show is set in '95. Also Eric get stupid as hell. I don't like it.

    The idea of the new series is essentially to recreate every single dynamic of the original, just with new young actors playing new teen characters. It doesn’t work. .... The whole thing reeks of a crass ploy by Netflix to capitalize on nostalgia, while missing entirely what it was about That ’70s Show that made it good or worth revisiting in the first place.
