I only watched the first episode but think it has potential to get better as it goes along but I didn't love or hate it. I don't mind that the cast from the previous Frasier aren't in this because after all, when Fraiser premiered in 1993 no one from Cheers went with him, so it's the same setup again.... Frasier with all new characters. It worked back then, so why shouldn't it work again now?
The new characters seem a bit one dimensional but will hopefully find their footing within the next few episodes. The one character I really didn't like though was Niles and Daphne's son. I forgot what his name was, but he's annoying as hell and seems like he's overacting his part. He also acts more like a caricature than a real person and I found him unfunny. His character reminded me of the goofy guy from Big Bang Theory. Tone him down and make him act more like a human being than a parody of whatever it is he's parodying or cut him loose.
The rest of the cast seems ok and didn't annoy me and the writing is good, though not nearly as good as the first Frasier was, but with time that could get better also.
I found it weird how Frasier just bought his son's whole apartment building, took the apartment across the hall from him and basically blackmailed his son to move into the apartment with him or stay in his own place and pay rent.
Was the building even for sale? And how did he just buy it so quickly? In a place like Boston, a whole apartment building would go for well over a million bucks. I guess hes going to play Mr. Roper to all the other tenants? I joke but I actually think it could make for good Fraiser situations.
I doubt this will be as great as the '93 Frasier, but I do believe it has potential to still be a fun sitcom and i'm curious to see where it goes from here.
One thing I wish they did was have Frasier have a child from Charlotte who would've been a younger brother or sister for Freddy, but I guess they preferred to go with that atrocious cousin for him instead. I half expected him to rapidly knock on a door and say "Penny" repeatedly. 6/10.
