That ’90s Show Season 2 (Netflix) Review :-
That ’90s Show Season 2 (Netflix) “There are a few critiques one might raise about “That ‘90s Show,” starting with its somewhat evident initial announcement. The series’ early episodes lack much of the texture or essence of 1990s culture: Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), our protagonist, experiences a teenage life not unlike her parents (Topher Grace and Laura Prepon) did on Fox’s “That ‘70s Show.”
However, this seems to be the primary focus of the series, which includes several executive producers from its predecessor: As time passes, it becomes increasingly clear that certain dynamics and core elements remain unchanged. This holds true for the character relationships as well: Grace and Prepon make guest appearances, dropping off their daughter to spend the summer with her grandparents (Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith), effectively capturing the immediate regression to adolescence that occurs when visiting parents in adulthood. The show also reflects familiar teenage pastimes: While they may be watching “Clerks” instead of “Star Wars,” and despite one crew member (the talented Reyn Doi) being openly gay, they still gather in someone’s basement, passing the time.”
“That ‘90s Show” captures a laid-back hangout vibe, distinct from the frantic attempts of shows like “Fuller House” to revive a series that perhaps didn’t need continuation. References to the franchise’s history can sometimes fall flat. Grace and Prepon play their roles to set up the series, where Leia decides to spend a summer hanging out with locals after a brief visit to Wisconsin. While they fit into the narrative, cameos by Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher feel obligatory, and Wilmer Valderrama’s appearance as Fez, though nostalgic, may remind viewers of elements better left in the past.
Where “That ‘90s Show” finds success is in establishing a warm and sunny dynamic among its new teenage cast. Despite the characters technically being part of Generation X, the show creates an atmosphere that resonates beyond generational boundaries. Rupp and Smith, now playing grandparents, serve as a solid link to the original series. Given that “That ‘70s Show” didn’t quite experience a “Friends”-style revival, it’s easy to see this series appealing to a new audience, perhaps Zillennials, encountering these characters for the first time.”
“That ‘90s Show” avoids the forced energy of “Fuller House” and refrains from the urge to completely reinvent itself seen in the recent “Saved by the Bell” reboot, which explored new comic densities and format stretches. In an ironic twist of time, “That ‘90s Show,” arriving over twenty years after “That ‘70s Show,” resembles a sitcom straight out of the 1990s itself. For older viewers, its format and storylines may evoke nostalgia, while younger audiences might find comfort in its sitcom rhythms and guest appearances designed for applause.
The show’s future success depends on what it can offer beyond nostalgia—how it develops Haverda’s Leia and her friends, and the unique stories it can tell apart from revisiting the glory days of “That ‘70s Show.” While some elements are timeless, injecting new spirit into an old tale can breathe fresh life into familiar territory.
“That ‘90s Show” premieres on Thursday, January 19.
