Frasier Reboot Reviews See Critics Seriously Split

Frasier, the beloved sitcom of the 90s, is making a comeback with a reboot after nearly 20 years since its finale in 2004. The show, known for its success and multiple Emmy Awards, is following in the footsteps of other reboots like "And Just Like That..." and "Bel-Air". Kelsey Grammer returns as Frasier Crane, with the new series focusing on his attempt to reconnect with his son Freddy, who dropped out of Harvard and became a firefighter.

"A clear attempt to flip the dynamics, but it doesn't work"

"It's a clear attempt to flip the dynamics of the original Frasier premise, with Freddy as the son who can't relate to his old man. But it doesn't work for several reasons. The first is that Jack Cutmore-Scott is incredibly bland in the role, and in no way seems like the character we last saw 20 years ago." - Critic A

"Lacks zany energy and the camaraderie of the original series"

"The biggest disappointment of this Frasier is how little it resembles the Frasier we know and love. It's as different from Frasier as Frasier was from Cheers... and this time, not for the better. The original series boasted one of television's all-time greatest ensembles, a group of extraordinary actors who shared an uncommon chemistry from the very first episode. The revival's cast suffers by comparison - as almost any sitcom cast would. The actors are all perfectly likeable, but they're not quite able to operate at Grammer's comedic level." - Critic B

"Charming and delightful"

"And it turns out that watching Frasier's third chapter is a charming and delightful experience." - Critic C

Despite the mixed reviews, Paramount+'s Frasier remains loyal to the original program and captures the essence of the character viewers fell in love with. The revival, however, is criticized for relying too heavily on nostalgia without bringing anything new to the table. While it may not live up to the greatness of the original, Frasier 3.0 still offers a familiar and nostalgic experience for fans.

Frasier is available for streaming on Paramount+ starting Thursday in the UK.
