Once you look past the stereotypes, cultural appropriation, random first-season episodes stuck in seasons three and four, and a timeline that makes no sense, it's a fun show.
Seasons one and two are fine, but seasons three and four are a mess. In season three, the summer episodes are mixed in with school episodes. Season four is well-known for introducing Tori when two of the actresses left because they'd found new jobs, but also contains a lot of clip shows and a random episode (Slater's friend) filmed in season one, shoved in here.
Despite the uneven timelines, there's still a few cringeworthy moments. Every media is a product of its time and biases of the creators, viewed with prejudices of the viewer. There's an episode where Zack discovers his Native American heritage, a few where Zack dates someone "not hot", plenty of females in bikinis and several inappropriate comments to go with it (although most of them were set up to give Jessie a line).
Back in the 90s, it was a great show. In 2021... watch it with a lot of grains of salt.
