Such is the sharp delineation of the writing and acting that they [Eve (Jess Salgueiro) and Olivia (Toks Olagundoye)] feel familiar within an episode. Freddy’s fire crew are also great value. .... Does it work? On the strength of the first five episodes, very much so.
The show totally works. The comedic beats, witty repartee, and comedy of errors-pratfalls and misunderstandings are all still there.

I don't normally leave reviews here, but I saw the absolutely ludicrous critic scores and actually got a little offended by how their talking about Kelsey Grammer and this new show.
It is not perfect, I found the first episode to be pretty rough in places, Freddy is going to take some time to grow on me, I can already see this; not the actor's fault, the way they write him, makes him feel cruel when in fact he's really just embarrassed and defensive, is that ever fun to watch?
As for the show itself, I can confidently say that by the end of episode 2 I was really charmed by it all. I felt like enough time had passed that Frasier felt like a character coming back to, I love how their is this whole missing chapter in his life getting teased out in discovery dialog, and visually as he buys something most us wouldn't even be able to afford to rent.
I won't go on too long here, I just wanted to say, in my humble opinion, this isn't trying to be True Crime Season 4 here; this is a family-friendly sitcom filmed in front of a live audience like a little play put on once a week, it's cute and very fun, and I feel like the critics come off like a bunch of boring jaded monsters who've forgotten how to enjoy simple things. Reminds me honestly of the critic in Pixar's Ratatouille.
Lastly, I will just add that Kelsey Grammer has since the first run of Frasier, become pretty loud about his political leanings, you do have to wonder when you see almost all the negative reviews seem to be coming from the most far-left publications. It's not a good look.
Just go watch it for yourself!

Dude, what are those critics smoking? It's literally more of Kelsey Grammer playing Frasier, except now it's twenty years later, he got Bibi Blazer's dream famous, walked away, and realized he failed Freddy.
Literally, the perfect place to pick up almost 20 years later; keep this in mind, David Hyde Pierce killed any chance of the revival they're complaining about; he decided for everyone else that if John Mahoney wasn't there, there was no point. This killed momentum on a lot of the original cast returning.
Honestly, it's better for it; it's forced the writers to get more creative. Such a better show then some of these shills are making it out to be, it's the return of the King of Sitcoms, and their over there acting like it's dead on arrival because it's not Sex in the City; what a bunch of dumb takes.

The new Frasier sometimes feels a little dated. The comedy and pacing is very ’90s sitcom, the laugh track even more so. But here’s the thing about nostalgia: It’s addictive AF.
Little may remain other than a title and an endearing snobbery, but, just like Theseus’s ride before it, the spirit of Frasier remains intact. Not quite seaworthy, perhaps, but just about afloat.
Without the friends and family we saw associate with the radio host in Seattle, there's something just slightly off about this reboot. It means well. And it knows the motions of what a show like "Frasier" should be. But it's not quite right.
While watching the first five of the season’s 10 episodes, my interest in seeing more of the character was never stoked, and I was bored with his moves only a few minutes into the premiere.
This new “Frasier” is no old “Frasier.” It’s as bad and cringeworthy as you could possibly imagine.
It is an outstanding start for a new series; what I did not want to see was Frasier season 12; instead, this series takes place 20 years later, and Frasier is now in a very different stage of his life.
Some things never change, but in otherways, his focus is different., I also appreciate as someone who rebelled hard against one of my parents as well, Freddy feels like a logical outcome as Frasier, though loving, has always been self-absorbed and obsessed with outward things.
I like the new cast, it's fun seeing how Frasier fits into their lives and vice versa, it's a solid beginning to something new, the only character I struggled with was his Nephew feels a little out of place, but I'm open to it, and it seems like a fun actor playing the role.
Genuinely excited for the rest of season 1!

Better than I was expecting but Rodney is in it. So that helps massively.
I’m not sure Frasier needed a reboot. The ending in 2004 was perfect. And without Daphne, Niles, Roz and Martin (RIP John Mahoney) it’s just shouldn't have been made.

Horribly written. 1 joke in the first 10 minutes. Don't waste your time. Freddy is supremely unlikeable.
