Reboot

I should admit after the first episode I was not thrilled about watching more of this show. It looked like another show you could safely pass without missing much. But the second episode changed everything. The story got much much more worthwhile. The show and characters started showing some depth and especially Paul Reiser's character kept me interested and I am glad I kept watching.

From a show I was ready to forgo it turned into something I am looking forward to. I gave it a 7 rating but it has the potential to go higher (and hopefully not disappoint).

Rachel Bloom and Paul Reiser central story line is my favorite and the richer it gets the better.

Ok, I admit that I was a bit sceptical about this show, having seen the trailer. Could they fill out the weekly half hour with quality comedy? Well, the answer is a resounding YES!

This show is hilarious. The writing is clever and the acting is first rate. The cast are, well, well cast in their roles. Even the mummy's boy is turning into a likeable and hilarious character.

The juxtaposition in the writers' room, between the old fogeys and the supposedly hip younger writers is really very funny, as the two groups gradually turn into each other.

If you're not watching this, you're missing out on some very good laughs.

So far so good. Doesn't hit it out of the park, but it's quality. Great cast and concept, and it seems to be put together thoughtfully. Ironically, it's a seemingly good show that's riding on the shoulders of what's wrong with the entertainment industry right now, which is crappy reboots and minimal original content.

Hand clap 👏🏼 to Hulu, who quite obviously don't take themselves too seriously seeing that the show they are fictionally rebooting with their own station in the show actually airs on Hulu in real life.

Add Steven Leviton (?) as the show runner (who is responsible for Modern Family) plus Paul Reiser, and this has potential to go places. Can't see it for running more than a few seasons, but for my wife and me, it's as good or better than anything on TV right now.

I'm only one episode in and I already know this show is going to be great. Glad I decided to give it a watch and looking forward to how all of this plays out. Reboot is well-written and seriously funny. If you like shows or movies like..hmm..let's see... I'd say The Office, Abbott Elem, Office Space, Single Parents, etc, then I'm pretty sure this will be straight up your alley. Over the top, slapstick humor, isn't always necessary and so I'm glad they created a smart comedy that doesn't always go for a cheap punchline.

Alright, time for the next episode. Reboot is definitely binge worthy so enjoy it!

This is such a breath of fresh air. First of all, what a cast! They really knocked it out of the park. I love everybody. Key, Greer, and Knoxville are fantastic. This is the first time I've seen Calum Worthy who plays their "TV son" Zack, and he is great. And who doesn't love Paul Reiser? C'mon.

But the first thing that really hit me right was the production. This show is beautiful to look at. Top quality filming.

Then in episode 2, they brought in Fred Malamed, George Wyner, and Rose Abdoo and I fell in love with them instantly. I could watch them all day. Then Bob Clendinen from Cougar Town, in the same episode!

Well, I'm a sucker for a great cast. It's frustrating to me that Keegan Michael Key is the more serious character and straight man, because he's one of the funniest people alive. But I love shows about friends working through things together, and I love this show. I hope it is on for a while.
