This must be the first EVER mature revival of a children's show targeted to the adults who grew up watching it. And it was great. 8/10!
Was bored at the start, but since episode 4 or so its become more enjoyable
Freddie is still wimpy with women, but less likable as they’ve added a sarcastic, absurdly mean little stepdaughter to push him around, so now he looks inept too. Carly’s internet show still has the humor of an 8 yr old boy. And Spencer is still an obnoxious man child. Apparently the writers of this show have forgotten that the kids who watched iCarly are in their 20s and 30s now, because they didn’t let any of the characters grow up. It’s just the same humorless antics as the original plus new, bad jokes about woke/cancel culture (sometimes pro, sometimes con, but always falling flat). They basically took a kids show formula and added light curse words and sex references to say “Hey, we’re big kids now!”
So far, so interesting.
I was worried how they would go on without Sam but it turns out that their new addition to the cast is kinda nailing it, or at least the characters they represent.
Other than that, I feel like many things in the show feel forced, politically charged and what you'd call "edgy".
I mean, if you think about iCarly, you think about a goofy show that while sometimes touching serious topics was always kind of fun to watch. The reboot also has moments that really made me laugh, but most of the first three episodes felt super sarcastic and made jokes about every internet thing in existence. Most jokes in the show just feel provocative instead of light-hearted and funny, e.g. cancel culture, white privileges, twitter bubbles, shitstorms were all touched in the third episode and nothing about it felt like you could just laugh about it and be done.
I'm interested in seeing how the show will progress, but I don't expect as much enjoyment as I'd hoped for.
SAD they are 2 new girls Sam and Gibby are the guys ...
But it could still be lit :)
They really hit the mark with this “reboot”, it’s modern, it’s iCarly, it’s adult, it’s funny, 10/10 recommend it for fans of the original show and whomever likes comedies of the sort in general
I think if you are a fan of the original iCarly series, then you will also enjoy this reboot. This show has the same energy as the original while still being able to have mature themes and jokes in them which I find very unique compared to other reboots.
Actually this is pretty enjoyable. I have a feeling that the cast is enjoying going back to the old roles and it shows as well. So far so good and let’s see how it continues. I’m a little confused to which audience it’s focusing on, but I like it.
It has most of the returning main characters and some new one that fit in quite well, but nothing is ever like the original. Cute and funny as we follow the adult lives of the original cast which is essentially the same settings as they restart iCarly. Nice grown up touch and a bit more PG-13 but it as probably best left alone without this show.
This show is missing the fun and the heart of the original. But even worse, it seems that no one on the show has really grown at all.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Faithful continuation that took a few episodes to find its footing but once it did it was a lot of fun. Unfortunate that the entire cast of the original could not reprise their roles but the amount of original characters that cameoed was surprising and the new cast grew on me over the season. The main characters feel like grown up versions of themselves while remaining true to the original, Spencer definitely carried all of the scenes he was in
