Tiffany B @RT42165586 05/24/2023 This was way better than the last 5 seasons of the original show! Revamping the show was such a great idea! I love how the original characters have new and fresh storylines that move the show forward into an interesting direction. The ending of season one was very appropriate to bring forth new obstacles and challenges for season 2. See more 01/06/2022 I used to love watching the game in my early 20s and I really love watching it now. I enjoy all the messages through each episode and there are a lot of very relatable moments that will bring out the emotions from even the toughest people. I hope this show does not get cancelled. There are Also so many laughable moments and its great to see those familiar faces. Truly a great reboot I'm all caught up currently on episode 10 and I CANNOT wait for the next episode to air, I'm literally on the edge of my seat! #MalikWright #TashMack See more 01/01/2022 I think it's a little boring and drawn out. They really have no good story lines for anyone. The reboot in my opinion, is just bad. Nothing like the old shows. I was hoping the show would be just as exciting as it was before but, now it's just something to watch after I've tuned in to better shows. I'm not feeling the new cast and the shoe could really use some creative writers that can bring back that old magic. See more 12/21/2021 It's still funny and light with a bunch of shenanigans. New cast but a good watch. See more 12/13/2021 Much better than the iconic run in the early 2000's. See more Read all reviews
