If you grew up in the 1990s, a latchkey kid glued to the television waiting for that signature surf-guitar riff from The Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, there’s little doubt that the revival will give you those same feelings all over again.
Here are five guys well past their supposed prime just ripping into the form as if they never left.

A belated but very welcome return from TKITH. Many of the new sketches made me think of The League Of Gentlemen but with a modern twist. Great stuff.

Its made me laugh out loud in places just like the orginal did years and years ago. what more could i ask for. Maybe if Colin Cunningham had a cameo then it'd be perfect?

True to the nature of sketch comedy, each episode has hit and miss moments — but when they work, the humor is silly and savage.
The new sketches manage to surprise amid the wash of familiar allusions.
Well-written, expertly performed, unashamedly odd and full of beans.
Not all of the sketches work—there’s no show where they all work—but the batting average is still so much higher than most programs that the Kids inspired into existence. ... They’re still hilarious, smart, and sometimes brutal. It makes me very happy to say the Kids are still more than alright.
I have to wonder if a lot of the 10/10 ratings I'm seeing are due more to nostalgia, and the enjoyment of spending time with "old friends", than for actual quality of the episodes. Because for me, while I found several sketches quite funny (Foley as an apocalyptic DJ, for one), most were in the 'mediocre' camp, and a couple were downright awful. I was a big fan of KITH back in the day, but was sadly let down by much of this new outing. For me, the writing was the main culprit -- it just felt lazy to me.
