Cameron G. @LawManCam Feb 12 Loved it. Would love more See more John K @Jkckck Oct 10 If you’re a fan of the original Fraiser then it is definitely a must see! It’s sweet and funny and the cast is amazing. See more Andrew M @RT26943480 Sep 2 As an avid lover of the original Frasier series, I was initially excited to hear that they were bringing it back. And then hearing that David Hyde-Pearce wasn't starring in it, as well as Jane Leeves, severely disappointed me. Nevertheless I watched both series and honestly I cannot recommend it at all, even after a second series. Although we've again got the appearance of Roz, Gill Chesterton and Bulldog the show lacks the original whimsical and comical tone that the original series was naturally able to write in. You can feel the script which is kind of forced in places at attempts to be funny but none of it felt naturally funny as Frasier doesn't have Niles to bounce off of. The continuation of Nicholas Lyndhurst in the series just wasn't funny for me. Starting as Frasier's long lost friend (apparently) to which there was no reference to in the original series, makes the series feel like it's lost its way as something has clearly been attempted to recreate the natural comedy that Frasier and Niles had. Instead we have someone that comes across as just constantly grumpy and sarcastic which plays far too much on the line of "good old British comedy". There's far too much of that which again gives the impression the writers were severely trying to cover for the missing comedy that naturally occurred between the original cast. If you're an avid lover of Frasier I honestly think you'll find it difficult to find this entertaining, if you're not then by all means watch it to see what you think but then go back and watch the original series for a far better, smarter written, comical time.

Except for poor David of course !🤣 See more Ciaran O @RT99941477 02/26/2025 It's beyond disappointing. I keep giving it another chance only to be even more disappointed. When you catch an old Frasier or Cheers, you realise how unfunny this version is. See more Christopher W @RT59185824 02/19/2025 An occasional laugh cannot mask the fact the script is fairly clunky and the acting on occasion wooden. The most common feeling is - ok, glad I satisfied my curiosity but the answer is that it just doesn't work without Niles. And Martin. Ok, there's not much reason to bring back Daphne and we can't bring back Martin. But the whole point of the comedy was the interplay between Frasier and a brother who brought out the best and worst in him - and vice-versa. That brother was always around Frasier, and never seeing him at all - not even a cameo - in a reboot just renders it rather pointless. It takes all the fizz out of it. So I conclude the reboot is, sadly, just for completionists as it feels like a bottle of champagne which has gone flat. Of course, the original was brilliant. I've got the lot on DVD and have seen all the episodes several times. My son adores it. See more Read all reviews
