    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,

    Im surprised as hell. This is a solid show with jokes on par with the original: most of them good, some of the great, some of them bad. I laughed and I don't remember the last time it happened for me watching TV. The essential thing is to remember it's the 90s as the show is not very focused on the aspect of the situation. Born in 84 and really happy this show exist. I'm aware it will beIm surprised as hell.

I'm aware it will be review bombed because one of the characters is gay, but I really hope for S2.

    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.

Kitty and Red deliver solid performances, and the stories follow basically the same formula from the original show before it started bleeding characters. I recommend it!… Expand

    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

    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.

    Very cute show that manages to be both faithful to the original and do its own thing. Definite recommend

    I was very skeptical for the first few episodes, but as the show progressed I realized how great it truly is. I am enjoying it and looking forward to season 2.

    With funny moments filled with nostalgia, That ‘90s Show is charming and has a lot of potential.

    That ‘90s Show is a comfortable watch that fans of the original should enjoy insomuch as taking an easy, if not a mostly forgettable trip down nostalgia lane.

    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.
