‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Reboot ‘Life’s Still Unfair’ Is Totally Unnecessary: TV Review

Exactly, like… that’s literally the ideal? Just call it a limited reunion event and lean into the chaos for three tight episodes, done.

"This Mario game feels more like a platformer than a turn-based JRPG."

> Composed of just four 30-minute episodes, “Life’s Still Unfair” feels more like a reunion special bursting with cameos than an actual reboot. The complaint is that there is not much substance to the show beyond memberberries.

Yes yes it is DAILY DAMN IT the docs say its better for you compared to not one but 2 apples a day.....chug chug chug lol

During life or death situations urine is necessary, in very small amounts

In my opinion it was a very well done love letter to the fans and cast

Idk I mean I never really watched king of the hill until the reboot and that really modernized the show, and I was able to pick off without having known all the nods, it stands alone pretty well. I looked it so much I went back and watched the whole show, and then the reboot again. And I wouldn't describe it as just fan service and nostalgia, like ofc it brought the old stuff back but I thought it actually felt like it's own thing. Like if you took away the nods it would still have substance with the general plot and stuff. I've only seen Malcolm episodes here or there two, so if it leans to heavily on just being "remember this" from the old series then it might come across bland for me since I don't know them. I haven't seen it so obviously that's not my actual opinion, it's just that I do sorta expect it to be more than just nostalgia bait

As a fan, I don’t want a reboot or spin off. The fans it had years ago are obviously a lot older and most of the generation probably don’t care for it other than the reunion which I had been excited about.

People latch onto emotional impact more than logical impact. We can let it drive our thinking, choices, and daily life: which is such a backwards way for society to be. Nowadays: you’ll absolutely get more clicks if you just type “braindead” for a response, instead of giving a thought-out critique of *why* it deserves a bad review.

The subtext underneath "unnecessary" is likely a mid, stale reboot that doesn't justify its existence.

I thought it was fantastic and like the show had never stopped. Doesn’t mean it’s flawless, the original show had ups and downs too but it still felt as unhinged and weird and that’s largely what I’ve always loved about it. It’s summed up perfectly by the “previous on” being a montage of just weird shit with no context.

I hated it. Big fan of the original series. It was weird and kind of depressing. While the actors did a good job, the writing of the characters was off. The plot was nonsense, and the jokes weren’t good. In fact it felt more like it was trying to be a weird drama than the goofy but smart comedy that made the original series popular. I can’t understand how anyone who was a fan of the original would like this.

No this one is extremely fair the whole thing was painfully dull with some shitty writing

Exactly

For whom it was made for yes. Real fans. The show is so good and stuck to its style/roots. Very impressive and entertaining

Genuinely unhinged reaction not someone not liking the Malcolm in the Middle reunion lol

You guys have enough goy slop to consume, don’t blame us for trying to bring back a little decent content. They ruined it anyways.

This is genuinely an unhinged comment about critics disliking a show.

I watched the first episode. It’s unnecessary.

Yeah watched the first episode and it stinks

Yea it's crazy we can't have anything good today!

This is true, he’s simply moved on from acting
