Critics Reviews

Candice Frederick HuffPost It’s a series that relies on stereotypical Black images and text because it has no merit or awareness of authentic Black humanity. Its weaknesses are immediate and frequently exhibited. Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR In a way, it would have been better to just craft this as an original series without all the baggage and expectations of reinventing a TV classic -- but then, Netflix wouldn't have gotten all the headlines and attention from the shocked reactions. Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com The bottom line for reboots is whether the new show brings anything fresh or distinctive to the material, while providing enough of a relationship to the source... to justify the process. Good Times ultimately flunks that test on both levels. Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked Anyone is free to watch the new Good Times, as long as they know doing so makes them part of the problem. Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Shawn Edwards Fox 4 Kansas City The series is degrading, insulting and offensive. Rated: 0/5 May 1, 2024 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media There's a world in which Good Times, the reboot, would be an amusing throwback or ironic commentary on the societal stagnation that has one family still stuck in a cycle of poverty after generations. But this is neither, and it's not good. May 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Clearly everyone is jumping on the hate train regarding this series without even watching the full season. You cannot watch 10 mins of the first episode and develop an accurate judgement of the show. It’s funny but also has lessons in each episode. But yes it may be a bit over the top but what animated series aren’t? The voices of the actors/actresses are great. It’s real with some comedic relief. I liked it. Doesn’t deserve such a low rating. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Yasmine M Completely terrible a baby selling drugs, a son sleeping on the couch with no motivation, a father singing to a roach in the shower like come on I enjoy very crude humor but this was disgusting take it off I say. I’m not even in need of a message when I watch adult cartoons but this was garbage. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Mercedes H Honestly I felt the same as everyone else did. Until I gave it a chance in realize that it was different messages in each episode. You may not catch it the first time when you watch it. Because it's being judge before Really giving it a chance. People felt the sameway about the boondocks and we all love the boondocks. But some people really judge the boondocks before giving it a real chance. Then once it all came out after they watched and realize their was hidden messages in every episode. I just feel like everything is more sensitive nowadays and everyone quickly to judge then to understand. But over all once I watched it more then once I said wow I see what they saying and doing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Lotricia W I honestly only got to about 10 minutes into the show and was disgusted. I couldn’t even continue watching. This has to be the worst show ever for me. Disrespectful to our community 😩 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Roland C Horrible and degrading. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Slam B This was literally the worst "TV show" I've ever seen. It was wildly disrespectful, dated and out of touch. All stereotypical tropes we've seen a zillion times before...but executed poorly. This shouldn't have ever seen the light of day. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
