I wish they wouldn't call this a reboot, it's almost the entire OG cast, for one, and IIRC these four episodes are all they're doing. This review criticises it for feeling like a reunion special but that's what it is.

I'll watch the episodes, but I think it's silly to expect anything more than a nostalgia bomb.

I expect to laugh really hard a couple times and be depressed by the story explaining why Malcom isn't president.

honestly just a few episodes showing where their lives went. fine with me.

Uh yeah, all of them are. (reboots)

No show is necessary, but some are fun!

God forbid my generation's serialized Citizen Kane do a little fan service...
