If critics are as on the fence that they seem to be here, and not just absolutely obliterating it, I am sure that it will be fun for the less critical masses.
TBH, I don't believe they're on the fence...
41% on Rotten Tomatoes does not indicate unanimous distaste. 4/10 critics gave a positive assessment.
I thought "on the fence" meant a more 50/50 kind of thing.
But I wasn't really thinking of a particular aggregator, that was just my impression.
If anything, it's a good reminder I ought to rewatch the original now that it's on Netflix!
The new show is coming Friday, so you got some time.
