It is adequate at best.

Not compelling in the slightest. Should have watched HGTV instead.

I was sorta looking forward to it but I’m not surprised it doesn’t capture much from the original series.

Very bland. Not enough tits and the characters in their youth bear no resemblance to what they ultimately become.

Too much emphasis on the Newark race riots (m'eh BLM is so 2020). Mrs. Throbber v2.0 and I looked at one another and we're like "WTF did we just watch?"
