Sascha B Frasier is still Frasier, but the rest of the show isn’t. It feels like Kelsey Grammar was teleported to Disney Channel Land where the actors express comedy through grimaces and throw-away one-liners (looking at you, Freddy!). This reboot has swapped intelligence, heart and empathy for ridiculous childish antics. Every attempt at Frasier-like farce feels cheap and heavy-handed and every snooty joke sounds like the writers quickly had to come up with something “smart”. Yes, we understand that white Zinfandel is bad wine, you made that joke three times in 14 episodes already. Give up or fire the writers room and costume department (looking at you, David!). Otherwise let’s hope for the best and Freddy and Eve die in a building fire! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Samuel B Frasier hasn't changed; the reviewers have. This season has so far solidified the new series into being a worthy follow-up to the original. While it had to gain its sealegs in Season 1, Season 2 gets to work giving you the same giddy circus of errors the the original series was known for, and with similar spirit. Don't listen to the jaded folks who wonder why they're not surprised by something they've grown up with. It doesn't matter, it achieves being the right show for this character right now. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Mike S It's at best mildly entertaining abd far from brilliant. The annoying putz playing Freddy can't deliver a goddamn line organically. Everything with the guy is a telegraphed phoney joke response. The new female cast members aren't much beter. It's a distraction from the entire premise of any episode to see this guy deliver his "jokes". Some of the episodes are nostalgic and sweet. They do lean heavier on sentimentality than the original Fraiser series did. It's something Grammar has nailed down and has become the reliable go to for near every episode. The premises never quite reach the level of chaotic miscommunication that the original series did. You can see an attempt is made on certain episodes but it never quite hits that mark. Some of the premises are down right annoying and somewhat nonsensical. For example Fraiser, Freddy and the British guy get forced into babysitting for the bartender for 5 months as a result of them being bad babysitters when they were originally forced to do this. The annoyingly entitled women forcing 3 guys who have nothing to do with her situation is ridiculous. It's these weird forced interactions and relationships that make it hard to relate to any of these characters. The original show made 2 snobby guys relatable to everyone. This show makes 2 blue collar workers seem pretentious obnoxious and entitled Lastly it's lazy and foolish to set the show in Boston without incorporating any element of the Cheers crowd. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Revenge O Frasier, Alan, Olivia and David are terrific, really funny. Eve and Freddy need to improve. Original series were subtler but this new seasons are pretty good. I want more seasons!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Zack B Season 2 is off to a great start! Writing has improved and the cast seems to gel better. Still a few ways to improve, but S2 has felt much closer to the original series than S1, and a lot of runway to go. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Lola h I think Kelsey should surround himself with funnier characters and let go of Niles's son (for starters)...I want to change the channel when he comes on....and oust Freddy's girlfriend (useless). Or let them exist (because they have a contract) and give them less lines. Fraiser and his work colleagues are adaptable. I also thought the maintenance man in season 1 was funny (and could deliver lines). That's what I mean...cut the bad talent and add a couple more good ones and it's a hit. If you don't...this will be the final season....just my opinion but I'm afraid it's the truth. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
