Netflix revival series is an irritating mix of sappy and meta. Go to Full Review

It's selling nostalgia hard, but nostalgia for what? Simply because something had popularity for a time does not guarantee it a place in the history books. Go to Full Review

As Thomas Wolfe said, you can't go home again. As Kimmy Gibbler might say, you can't go home again, because if you do, you might become trapped, haunted by hollow laughter from unseen phantoms ringing in your ears. Go to Full Review

The show pretty much falls in place next to its predecessor in terms of storyline, humour and performance. Go to Full Review
Khal Davenport Complex 04/23/2019
If you loved Full House, warts and all, you'll get a kick out of the nostalgic feel, and how they decided to pick up the story almost 30 years later as opposed to truly rebooting. Go to Full Review
Sameen Amer The News International (Pakistan) 04/12/2019
Fuller House borrows many elements from the show it's rebooting, but it's just cornier, more forced, and lacking in charm. Go to Full Review

SL G @Lloydninjago Jul 28 It's a really good spin-off show of Full House! See more Ann O Jun 27 I thought the show was funny and cute. It's awesome to see them grow up and continue their acting on camera. See more Andy C @HaYouGay May 23 not "fuller house" it's cringe house. See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch Feb 16 As I tuned into the spinoff series "Fuller House," which brings back beloved characters from the iconic '90s show "Full House," it was heartwarming to see these familiar faces revived on screen, even if it is now through a streaming platform. However, the series lacked the vibrant energy that characterized the original show, leading to a fair amount of criticism. This backlash not only stemmed from the dynamics among the cast but also from some questionable character choices throughout the series. Let's start with DJ, played by Candace Cameron Bure. Her public persona and political views often overshadow her character, making it challenging for fans to connect with DJ as they once did in the '90s. While it's essential to separate the actress from her role, it's tough to ignore the impact of Bure's real-life actions on how we perceive DJ. Nonetheless, she does manage to capture DJ's quirky spirit and navigates her love life with a refreshing flair. Jodie Sweetin shines as Stephanie, bringing depth and emotional complexity to her character, which is enjoyable to watch. It's puzzling that the Olsen twins didn't reprise their roles; perhaps they were approached but opted out. On a brighter note, Kimmy Gibbler's return is a delight, with the same actress stepping back into her iconic role. It was also touching to see the original cast members like Bob Saget as Danny Tanner before his tragic passing, alongside Uncle Jesse, Uncle Joey, and Aunt Becky, all reprising their roles from the '90s. Their return added a nostalgic charm and helped create a new dynamic alongside the newer characters. Overall, I found "Fuller House" to be a decent watch. While it may not reach the heights of its predecessor, it offers a fun experience with its short episodes packed with comedic moments. Fans may miss the original concept of three men raising children, but this iteration focuses on Stephanie, DJ, and Kimmy navigating their lives with partners, which adds a different twist to the storyline. I enjoyed the show, but I don't often revisit it, primarily because I'm not a fan of Candace. If she weren't part of the series, I would likely watch it more frequently, much like how I enjoy "The Conners" despite my dislike for Roseanne. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER 10/12/2024 Great nostalgia. I enjoyed when they broke the 4th wall. Very family friendly! See more Renuka K 03/29/2024 Some of the cultural portrayals were extremely inappropriate and frankly disgusting. See more Read all reviews
