Fuller House (2016–2020)
9/10
Nostalgic fun, vastly improves after the first episode
27 February 2016
So, I grew up with the original and sure, it was cheesy and dated, but had great characters and a lot of heart.

Fuller House...is pretty much exactly the same. Not that that's a bad thing! In this day and age, such a show is welcome.

The Tanner girls (sans Michelle) and Kimmy take the roles of their uncles/dad in the original, raising DJ's three sons along with Kimmy's daughter in the same house. The pilot is basically a reunion episode and isn't exactly great. It's forced and kinda cringeworthy. But when that's over, the show really takes off. The three leads all do a great job (and aged pretty darn well, if you catch my drift), and the new kids aren't too bad either. Max especially--that kid is going to be a star.

There's a nice mix of humor here, family stuff and some more adult stuff for older viewers. Yes, there's a laugh track. Yes, it feels forced in parts. But so did the original. If you're even remotely a fan, you'll love it.
