I watched it last weekend and loved it! Alda’s appearance was the icing on the cake. My favorite moment (trying not to give anything away) was the reveal of the crayon pic in the cabinet. I got pretty emotional at that point.

Yes! I'm hoping we get to see Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno in a second season!

I saw them both! The original stuck with me because of its pacing, tone, and visuals. I loved the remake. The unexpected comedic moments really worked and each episode was interesting. My favorite scene was Will and Tina walking in the college town talking about how even throuples have to pay the electric bill.

You can still watch it! I'm sure it'll be on Netflix for a long time.

I never saw the original. Just started the series. It’s enjoyable. Quick too.

Great review.

I thought the name sounded familiar, and when I saw Alan Alda, remembered the film. I will have to rewatch it because I’m pretty sure I had only seen it back when it came on HBO - or maybe it was one my mom rented that we watched. I will definitely check it out to make comparisons.

I loved this series! I watched it all in one night Friday 😂 I agree that Anne showing up all over was a bit crazy…

The play had me dying!! So did the guitar playing (no spoilers) - I was laughing so hard I was crying!

The cast was great! I love Tina Fey and Will Forte. Loved seeing Coleman Domingo! He was one of my favorite characters in Euphoria.

I’m definitely looking forward to a second season!

Yes! I don't think people have to watch the original to appreciate the new series. It stands on its own!

Yes, very enjoyable. I liked spending time with these people and watch them hash out their differences. It’s a realistic adult comedy/drama - not an explosion, car chase, space ship or superhero in sight!
