Such is the sharp delineation of the writing and acting that they [Eve (Jess Salgueiro) and Olivia (Toks Olagundoye)] feel familiar within an episode. Freddy’s fire crew are also great value. .... Does it work? On the strength of the first five episodes, very much so.
The show totally works. The comedic beats, witty repartee, and comedy of errors-pratfalls and misunderstandings are all still there.
The new show has its moments — there’s a lovely tribute to Martin and to Mahoney at the end of the premiere episode — but it lacks the consistency, rapier wit and heart of the original, and doesn’t offer enough originality to merit us booking further sessions with Dr. Frasier Crane.
Little may remain other than a title and an endearing snobbery, but, just like Theseus’s ride before it, the spirit of Frasier remains intact. Not quite seaworthy, perhaps, but just about afloat.
Without the friends and family we saw associate with the radio host in Seattle, there's something just slightly off about this reboot. It means well. And it knows the motions of what a show like "Frasier" should be. But it's not quite right.
While watching the first five of the season’s 10 episodes, my interest in seeing more of the character was never stoked, and I was bored with his moves only a few minutes into the premiere.
This new “Frasier” is no old “Frasier.” It’s as bad and cringeworthy as you could possibly imagine.
