That '90s Show (2023)
Missed opportunity
I am a huge fan of the 70s show, because it was so different from anything we've ever seen before. Great, accurate comedy, with perfect time references and daily life struggles/joy, genuine "growing up" in a small town with your friends... I love to get that feel of what it could be being a teenager back then.
I had high hopes that the same nostalgia would be delivered in the same manner in the 90s show and it would feel amazing to see what I actually lived though be portrayed to the current generation. It could even bring us close together. But... no.
The 90s references were very poor. The highlight for me was Kitty getting a computer set up and hearing the internet connection sound, but even that scene I feel it could have been better delivered, explored, funnier...
The actors really have no sync with each other, nor we seem to really feel their awkwardness in just getting to know Leia's grandparents - they are all very "comfortable" at the house and they pretty just met!
Also the dialogues are not at all funny or relatable to the time period. They need to add more references of tv, music, toys... anything! I haven't seen a discman ANYWHERE! How's that acceptable?
Of course the old cast is still amazing and deliver their characters perfectly. It just feels like they are trying to hard and at the same time not putting enough effort.... if that even make sense.
