What to Know

Critics Consensus

Like its predecessor, the retooled 90210 is a sleek, campy guilty pleasure -- though it's unfortunately less pleasurable.

I thought it'd at least be worthwhile to see Shannen Doherty reprise her role as Brenda Walsh, but not even one of my favorite characters ever could keep me watching for more than 3 episodes. Go to Full Review Claire Zulkey AV Club 12/30/2019

I don't plan on becoming a devoted fan of the new 90210 but it displayed more tongue-in-cheek writing than I expected (although my standards were quite low). Go to Full Review Christopher Rosen Observer 12/26/2019
By trying to be all things to all viewers, 90210 feels rudderless. It lacks the dry wit of The O.C., the trashy snark of Gossip Girl and the pure melodrama of the original 90210. Go to Full Review Sandrine Sahakians TV Equals 12/30/2019
I thought it was ok, nothing to jump up and down about and definitely not as good as the original 90210. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 12/30/2019
3/4
With the help of a strong musical soundtrack, it's off to a better-than-expected start and may strike a chord with teenagers. Go to Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine 12/26/2019
It is not a good sign that a high point late in the new version's debut was the arrival of [Shannen] Doherty, who by now looks as if she were ready to star in a Quentin Tarantino movie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/10/2021 I liked this season of 90210, it wasn't my favourite but it highlighted many topics and delved into deeper substances of the show! Overall, I loved Silver's plot of being Bipolar I think it is important to highlight these issues in shows teens watch. See more steve d 07/27/2020 Eggold and Jessica Stroup steel the show and are unfortunately the only likable characters. Most of the cast is really entertaining. See more 06/19/2015 I gave this show a shot only because of Matt Lanter (after watching his Star-Crossed). 90210 surprised me though as it was extremely entertaining and fun to watch. See more 05/23/2015 The show starts off slow, and kind of stupid, but once you get past the first few episodes it's amazing! Definitely my favorite show of all time! See more 12/29/2014 How a show like this gets made is beyond me. Must be a hell of a salesperson to pitch this garbage. See more Read all reviews
