Season 1 Review: “That ‘90s Show” is the equivalent of a great throwback burger joint with a short menu. The food might have a familiar taste, but it finds an efficient way to overdeliver on the basic expectations. Read full review

Paolo Ragusa

Season 1 Review: The original show was comforting, witty, and a love letter to nostalgia with a young, hungry cast of actors — this new series contains the same loveable features. Now, the real test for the show’s creators is not how to best emulate the formula, but advance it into something more sticky and satisfying. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Offering precisely what its title promises and building on the legacy of a Y2K era sitcom that looked back in order to appear fresh and cool, That ’90s Show is nothing new. That’s not so much a knock against it as an accurate assessment of its reason for being. Read full review

Season 1 Review: But for whatever reason, one never quite emotionally invests in their challenges, as charming as the actors are to watch. Nevertheless, Haverda has an appealing presence, and her castmates (including Andrea Anders as Gwen’s mother, the series’ other adult) have fine comic instincts. ... To anyone interested in a sharper picture of young people in the last years of the last century, let me direct you to Freevee’s lovely “High School.” And “My So-Called Life.” Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Jan 19, 2023

Season 1 Review: The makers have obviously worked under a laminated sign saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, and who can blame them? The same character traits are all there, if redistributed among the youngsters’ parts. Read full review

Richard Roeper

Season 1 Review: It’s a little edgy and occasionally chuckle-inducing and mostly sweet-natured, and it’s just OK and quickly forgettable. Read full review

The Daily Beast Kevin Fallon

Jan 20, 2023

Season 1 Review: 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.

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 focusedIm 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 be review bombed because one of the characters is gay, but I really hope for S2.
Also: too bad for Hyde, but f Masterson.… Expand

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

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.… Expand

Obviamente tiene que tener un valor de producción por el simple hecho de traer muchos personajes de vuelta, por nostalgia, y conservar la escenografía por tributo y porque es una secuela directa de la anterior... pero en el contexto actual con la cultura despierta y de la cancelación, elObviamente tiene que tener un valor de producción por el simple hecho de traer muchos personajes de vuelta, por nostalgia, y conservar la escenografía por tributo y porque es una secuela directa de la anterior... pero en el contexto actual con la cultura despierta y de la cancelación, el humor no puede ser mas que insulso y por encima de todo aburrido, soso y forzado, talvez algun dia, pueda volver haber series entretenidas… Expand

After one and a half episode, i couldn't take it anymore. I love That '70s Show and i've watched it over and over many many times.

While That '70s Show was very cool, calm and fun, That '90s Show is hectic, forced and painfully unfunny. It's pretty much like watching a bland generic teen show on Disney Channel where everybody act unnatural and over-energetic. The new cast doesn't have any personalities - or they're just intended to be new (really bad) versions of the old - and the old cast have lost theirs. Why is it so hectic? Why is everybody just standing around awkwardly waiting to say their lines? This is horrible writing, horrible acting and horrible directing. This is something you would expect from your local theater group.… Expand

It's a bland generic (and very badly written) teen comedy with a 'XXs show' label slapped on.
