Frasier (2023): Season 1

"The show needs more jokes and less earnest emoting."

"Being "good enough" only brings back memories of the one that was great."

"An unfunny, uninspired dud."

"A charming and delightful experience."

"So much of the look and sound of the original Frasier has been reconstructed—yet the spirit has gone AWOL."

"More of a pleasant throwback than a reinvention, and that seems to be the point."

"An anticlimactic museum reproduction of the original."

"The new Frasier is classic and contemporary. And it’s quite good."

"An unsettling collision of Nineties sitcom tropes and present-day sensibilities."

"TV’s funniest fusspot is as hilarious as ever."

"When Frasier isn’t on screen, the show feels like a below-average sitcom."

"It’s frothy and funny and I’ll watch on."

"Pointless revival."

"A reminder that what was isn’t always well-suited for what is."

"New escapades with plenty of warmth and invention. Craniacs should be sated."

"A fun and lighthearted escape."

"Once you stop thinking about it all too hard ... everything starts to feel a lot more enjoyable."

"Has some charm, but wears thin when it increasingly relies on recycling the same premises."

"A tiresome update of a tired series."

"Embarrassingly bad revival."

"Uninspired reboot."

"Missing the chemistry between the cast members that made the original series so special."

"The latest show to remind us that digging up the past isn't always golden."
