Summary

  • The Frasier reboot's comedic tone is more akin to The Big Bang Theory than the original Frasier, as the cast's delivery and timing feel disconnected.
  • The intellectual and cultural references that made the original Frasier beloved are lacking in the reboot, and season 2 should focus on incorporating more elevated entertainment.
  • Kelsey Grammer's portrayal of Frasier is the only element of the reboot that feels true to the original series, and the revival needs to emphasize Frasier's love life and engagement with his students in psychiatry to capture the essence of the character.
