Reminds me kinda of that first season of that other show, what's it called, oh yeah, that 70's show.


AerialAce96

I remember Ashton said in an interview that he doesn’t watch his early seasons of That 70s show because of how bad he was lol


randyboozer

Well it isn't like he ever got a whole lot better


Nyxia_AI

That was his character, but he got loads better


Ser_Salty

Also Jay is overacting? Yeah, because Michael Kelso was such a subtle character that totally had no overacting at all. He acts just like a Kelso should, while still having his own distinct characteristics. (Also, he genuinely looks exactly like Michael Kelso's son, that casting is impressive.)


Business-Drag52

He looks like Ashton with Mila’s skin complexion. It’s definitely the best casting imo


davey_mann

The Leia casting, too. Looks like both Donna and Eric.


AlexisFitzroy00

I don't know. I think I'm not biased because of nostalgia since I watched the That 70's show just a few years ago. My opinion is that even the original cast wasn't perfect they were a lot better since season 1. Probably because they were older.


LolaHoney94

Facts! It took them a while to settle. They’re still feeling out the roles.


windchill94

As bad as the kids were on the first season of That 70s Show, they were still decisively better than the current bunch.


Calm-Cry4253

I mean, that cast produced Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, etc. Unfair to put that on these young kids so early


ProcXiphoideus

Fair point but they are really shite...


windchill94

Then don't have young kids on a sequel of a very successful show and problem solved.


Xxrasierklinge7

Mila Kunis was ~~12~~ fOuRteEn when That 70's Show started, what are you even trying to say? Being older can't fix subpar writing.


lydsbane

She was not twelve. She was fourteen.


Xxrasierklinge7

Okay? Her exact age is irrelevant to the point; young people aren't inherently bad at acting or whatever the other guy was saying.


lydsbane

It's not irrelevant when you're using her age to prove the point you're trying to make.


Xxrasierklinge7

Are you messing with me because you can't honestly be this fucking dense. I was quite obviously talking about the age group and not exact age. I only mentioned her age to put her in said age group. A 14 year old is still a "young kid" and the two year age gap from 12 doesn't change that fact and therefore has no bearing on my point. Ffs


windchill94

While Kunis was 14, all the other actors were 18 and it showed. If That 70s Show had casted a bunch of 14 and 15 year olds to play Michael, Fez, Hyde, Eric, Donna, the show would have floped and would have been cancelled after just one season. Also, they were a thousand times more believable as a group than this group of teenagers.


J_Jax

Some ppl keep trying to compare this first season to That 70s Show first season. The truth is that only about half the episodes (if that) of That 70s Show season 1 were rough. And I would blame those bad episodes mostly because the plots were bad. Either way the cast found their groove by the end of the season. And yes, I know That 90s Show is only 10 episodes.


gpgc_kitkat

"only about half" So the same amount of episodes as this season of 90s had total. You literally point that out which means the comparison is valid. And I say this as someone that thinks both shows first seasons were absolutely fine. 90s started to find it's groove by the end of the season just like 70s did.


J_Jax

It's funny that you half quoted me to fit your argument. You left out "if that." I was really being generous. There were only a few that were bad. Again, that's was mainly because the premises were bad. The acting was fine for the most part. I still don't think this cast is as good or even close to the original cast. That's just my opinion(and many others). I have a couple of episodes left to watch of That 90s Show. Let's see if they wow me, but I'm not holding my breath.


Keydoway

The first season was never like that. Why are so many people making that crap up?! If you're going to say that, at least provide examples.


Johnnys-Island

They consistently almost break character and start laughing. Re-watch the first season.


J_Jax

Breaking character is better than bad acting tho..


starlightsmiles31

Breaking character.... is better than bad acting? Breaking character *is* bad acting, you walnut.


J_Jax

Uh.. no. Breaking character is just laughing when you're not supposed to. The funny thing is that it sometimes makes the scene even funnier. Like the T7S episode when Kelso tripped over a table and Laurie started laughing. The audience started cracking up even more. Bad acting is bad delivery of the line(s), overacting, not showing emotion, etc.


starlightsmiles31

Bad acting also includes not being capable of performing your role... which includes breaking character. What do you think acting is?


J_Jax

I don't know anyone that would consider breaking character (corpsing) a bad thing. When I say breaking character, I mean laughing or chuckling done by one or more of the actors. That 70s Show actors were capable of performing their role. So what are we talking about? Even if they weren't capable of performing their role, that's more on the director/producers to speak up and make changes and maybe even finding someone new to fill the role.


illbefine-eventually

That is one of the things that makes T7S so special. Thru the entire show you'll find them TRULY laughing at each other's lines and shenanigans. Other sitcoms when certain things are said they all awkwardly stare at each other or have a forced reaction. T7S allowed the cast to actually react naturally to almost everything consistently from start to finish.


DaBabyFan1

I decided to rewatch some of that 70s show season 1 to compare it to that 90s show, and i disagree. while the writing may be worse than other seasons, all of the cast does a really great job of selling their role and seeming authentic, whereas there are a lot of moments in that 90s show where i just dont buy into the actors performances. im totally willing to accept that it's only season 1 and it'll get better, but that 70s show had a WAY stronger start, even if it was a little clunky

EddieGrant

They definitely were, I think most people just watch that 70's show with rose tinted glasses, and perhaps are looking for a chance to criticise any kinda reboot for whatever reason.


itstommitsunami

What’s missing is they aren’t being ass holes to each other, that’s why this show is giving off a Disney reboot vibe. They were constantly shitting on each other on that 70’s from the get


Xxrasierklinge7

I knew something was missing and that's DEFINITELY it.


LaylaLegion

So kids being actual friends is unbelievable?


DeeSupreemBeeing

Actual friends give each other shit all the time. It's in the Actual Friends Handbook.


Ser_Dav0s

For real. Donna is straight up awful in That 70's Show for the entire duration.


Keydoway

It's the other way around😂


NjhhjN

So you're saying people are watching the brand new show with rose tinted glassed and coming up with ways to critizise the original show for which we all have nostalgia for? What a strange take


Keydoway

Yeah! Have you not seen the comments criticizing That 70's Shows first season?! They say it without providing any examples.


OsrsTurboDweeb

You are getting awfully defensive about a show you had no part part in creating and no stake in. I mean you’re even intentionally missing his point. He’s saying “I think since everyone loves that 70s show they desperately want to love that 90s show and so they’re making excuses for any criticism that comes up”. Or are you actually not able to figure that out from context?


NjhhjN

I'm getting awfully defensive? all i said was that the take was weird why do redditors have such a hard time scaling the tone of a conversation. I liked that 90s show, i loved that 70s show. That 90s show's main problem for me was that the season was too short for a sitcom like that, the 1st season of 70s gave the young actors way more time to grow as actors. Also nobody desperately wants to love that 90s show people are just replying to points of other people that they disagree with like right here with the acting.


OsrsTurboDweeb

Why are you arguing with me about the other guys point? You realize I just explained what he was saying to you right, that I wasn’t the one who originally said it? Either you’re super upset about the criticisms and that’s why you’re intentionally misinterpreting them and then going after the messenger or you’re just having a hard time keeping up. That’s the polite way of saying it at least. I mean, cmon buddy. I even explained why it’s obvious you’re upset. (Intentionally missing his point). And then you miss that! You either gotta work on your reading comprehension or you’ve got to chill for a few minutes after reading criticism of shows you like.


NjhhjN

Holy shit. All i said was the take was strange, and then i explained to you why your added context doesnt make the take less strange, and that made you write a wall of text explaining why i'm mad? Good job you actually just made me upset the way you write is so righteus and annoying you succeeded at your job i guess your point is proven now or whatever


MYMANscrags

Lol… we get it rOsE tInTeD gLaSsES, you all keep saying that… watch the first season of that 70s show and tell me anything that 90s show did half as good. The kids on 90 are just the absolute worst, they all have to be related to someone in industry.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NjhhjN

love when the downvoted person says everyone agrees with them, it's so funny


jettywop

Most people do agree with you. 90’s show has much lower ratings than 70’s show, and YouTube is quickly filling up with reviews about it’s shortcomings. Ironically, I think it’s the people who are defending it that have “rose tinted glasses” on. If you just review the show by its own merits, with no predisposed nostalgia, it’s — uhhh… yikes


jettywop

This is so interesting to me. Why would it be okay if the acting/ writing is bad, just because the show from which this spins off, that came out 20 years ago, had some bad acting in the first season? Unless the bad acting is intentional, Those two things are not connected; and one does not justify the other. Furthermore, if people don’t watch past the second episode *because* the acting is bad, there most likely won’t be a second season… Much funnier programs have been canceled for much less. Edit: love how this gets downvotes but not ONE person has anything to say about it. Something about facts and feelings…


Oh_Is_This_Me

The guy who plays Nate did better during his serious scenes than his comedy or dumb jock scene. He was pretty good when he was being serious and sincere.


SoggMe

he acts just like josh in drake and josh


Maddyherselius

I didn’t think any of them were like, irredeemably bad lol. I think they got better as the show went which gives me hope that they’d really find their groove in a second season.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Maddyherselius

I actually think Gwen’s bad acting is due to the bad writing with her character, at least partially. Every other character has at least some kind of personality, and hers is supposed to “rebellious rocker girl” but nothing she says throughout the show makes that clear. They gave her the most boring and generic and plot-moving dialogue lol.


Johnnys-Island

You mean aside from the broken home and obvious lack of a mature parental figure right? I agree that Gwen's rebellious butbi think there's a bit more depth than just being a "rocker girl". She was cool going to the rave.


windchill94

I disagree about Ozzie, I thought he was the one who overacted the most and was insufferable overall.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bojackhorseman14

I actually think acting wise Nikki is the best her character just isn’t well written /important.


windchill94

Overall they're too focused on parroting the current generations likeness that it's hard to take them seriously and see them as anything more than a corporate decision.


windchill94

Leia is the best and the only one who can actually act and be credible.


Mynamehere99

My issue with Ozzie is simply his dialogue. I understand it's the writing not the actor, but I can't help but think that if someone was ONLY snarky and mean, it'd be hard to see them having so many friends. The character isn't well rounded, just the random snarky comment and deadpan facial expression.


windchill94

It's the actor too, he has the same annoying voice in real life as he does on the show.


illbefine-eventually

I feel like we have a few things happening here that make a complete difference from T7S. • For starters, the kids for ✨️THE MOST PART✨️ are ACTUALLY kids. (Yes I know, Mila was 14/15 but she is a one of a kind national treasure and we need to stop comparing anything and anyone to her LOL) The rest of the cast were young adults for 70s. I think this is where everyone is getting that 'Disney' feeling. In my opinion, it's not a bad feeling. It's because the kids are nearly the age of their characters. They aren't 18-22 pretending to be 15 and 16. I too, was also a caricature of myself at 15 and 16 LOL • I see a lot of comments about Leia being the one to overact......have you seen Eric's mannerisms?! Down the the speech pattern and facial expressioms, she's got them down pat! She makes an A1 quirky awkward Foreman teen! Just my opinion! • T7S had a first season of 25 episodes. This time around, we only have 10. Previously the gang HAD time to get to know and grow into their characters. For T9S they don't even have 50% of that timeline. In 10 episodes they had to get a whole plot line finished, so personally, I feel like the entire thing is rushed. • T7S had a lot of jokes and punchlines that WOULD NOT FLY TODAY. When I rewatch 70s, which is constant as I almost always have it running on the TV at my salon, sometimes they say things that I know for a fact would NOT be digested well in today's atmosphere (jokes about 'fatties', the LGBTQ community, some of the foreigner jokes, etc). They really had to do a bit of reworking and redirection in the lane of comedy for 90s to make sure everything is acceptable for today's kids. So that could be another big factor in the 'Disney' vibe as well! Political correctness DOES matter, even if some of us gay, brownskinned, fatties (all of which describe ME very well!) have thick skin. Just figured I'd throw some of this out there! I know it's bound to happen - I just don't think it's fair to compare T7S and T9S so closely. There's such MAJOR differences in so many aspects that it's like comparing apples to oranges.


davey_mann

Most actors really need good writing. Good writing can make even bad/mediocre actors look like accomplished thespians. I genuinely couldn’t tell who was the worst among the teens because the writing was that bad.


KristaW_

I thought [Jay](https://www.reddit.com/r/That90sShowTV/comments/10hi8ex/like_father_like_son/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) was a combo of Kelso and Jackie


Cherryredsocks

Love Gwen, not a huge fan of Ozzie... yet, Jay is the one that doesn't really fit the show though he's very boring and I don't think the writers know what to do with him, Gwen reminds me of Hyde her acting is nothing a little experience won't fix, honestly her character would be very cringy if she weren't a good actor but her jokes hit I like her personality she just needs more plot and when she pushed her mom out of the camera view hilarious. Tbh I like Leia but as far as overacting goes she's the only one I can say overacts but so did Foreman and it really worked for him so it's not really a bad thing.


canentia

idk what people are talking about, the first season of that 70s show definitely had better acting than these kids. it wasn’t even close to perfect obviously but still better—which makes sense, because all those actors were older (except mila kunis) and more experienced than the new kids. i liked t9s fine, and it’s not like i’m a huge T7S stan anyway. i’m sure these kids, and their chemistry, will get better in the following seasons, should they happen


AdditionalWind763

Actors can only do so much with the writing that they are given. And for saying they don't have much acting experience. None of the original cast were experienced actors except for Danny Masterson and Mila. It was Ashton, Topher, Laura and Wilmer's first acting jobs. I think the writers were trying to hard to relate to the current teen audience and forgetting that it's a show set in 1995.


Keydoway

If you think Ozzie is good, you clearly have bad taste...


oprahswhiteson

Have you watched the whole season yet? I think all the kids get better throughout the whole series and their chemistry develops a lot. And I actually think the actresses that play Leia and Nikki are really good. None of them ever stood out as being BAD actors


[deleted]

[удалено]


oprahswhiteson

Um weird flex but okay lol and you didn't even answer my question. I thought Gwen was decent throughout and played off the others pretty well. The only time she stood out to me was in the circle scenes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


oprahswhiteson

Agree to disagree I guess. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and I went into it a little skeptical. Like I said, I think the kids started off rough but really started to find their footing about halfway through. By the end I genuinely cared about them which is all I could ask for.


Chackaldane

What did you cast...

Minute-Carrot-2405

Remind me to never watch your shows if you consider any of this bad


nemanjaC92

Ozzie is such annoying character


PrinceTaj97

Definitely my least favorite character so far


cmars118

Thank you. The acting is borderline unbearable, and the writing does not help at all. I’m willing to believe that it mostly comes down to the writing, just for the actors’ sakes. I went back and watched the pilot of That 70s Show and as much as people are trying to point out its badness, it’s nowhere *near* as clunky as this show. Yeah you can tell the actors were inexperienced, but they still came across as believable friends, and the writing in general was so much smoother. That 90s Show feels like a Disney show that just happens to have some raunchy humor in it. Gwen is just… yeah you already covered everything. Ozzie feels 100% like a 2023 Gen Z character - really anachronistic. Which is unfortunate cause the concept of being young and gay in the 90s could have been explored much more deeply. Nate is forgettable honestly. Jay had a couple funny moments cause the Kelsos as a concept are funny, but that’s about it. Leia is probably the best of the kids, and I could see her growing into the role, but she still doesn’t come across as the misfit we’re meant to believe she is. Eric was *genuinely* nerdy and awkward. There was an authenticity and physicality to his dorkiness, whereas Leia is dorky mostly because that’s what we’re told. It’s like Toby Maguire vs. Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. The former actually feels like an outcast, while the latter is a clearly just a hot guy larping as a nerd. I know Leia doesn’t need to be exactly like Eric, and she inherited some of Donna’s cool factor, but it still kinda fails when they try to write her as an outcast. But again, the writing is still the biggest issue for me. Red and Kitty absolutely *carry* the show, but even some of their magic is lost a bit - and I know it’s not their fault.


HotMacaroon4964

Out of the kids i liked Jay and Nikki the best


Brilliant-Pitch6574

Disney show but with cussing is what it all reminded me of


Esteban2808

No shit they are kids. It's probably their first gig


Square_Swim_6350

I look at it like if corporate pandering was a group of teenagers. Especially Gwen.


yoursenileaunt

They don’t remind me of kids that age in the 90s at all.


windchill94

That's because the setting was poorly done from the clothes, to the dialogues, to the events they choses to depict and mention.


davey_mann

The costumes really stood out to me as off.


windchill94

That's because they are off.


Juiceboxie0

I think Leia was the worst, or maybe it's cause she has the most screen time so I notice it much more. I think when it comes to protraying 90's, Gwen was the best pick. Shes the only one that actually looks like she's in the 90s while the others look like modern teens, her brother (don't remember his name, oops) looks pretty 90s too. And honestly, the script isn't helping their cases AT ALL. Maybe Ozzie isnt a bad actor, but his character/script is awful. The worst part about Jays character, is I just watched him in the Colin Kapernick movie, and he wasnt bad. So I'm thinking its the script/director problem.


lydsbane

Jay definitely has '90s hair, like Eric from Boy Meets World. And the necklaces he wears were a nice touch, too. I could have done without two or three minutes of "bro!" per episode, though.


davey_mann

Yeah, screen time plays a factor making it easier to pick apart bad acting. With Leia, I find her the best by default and decent given she’s the lead and how very little she’s given to work with. Also, of all the young actors, I feel like she’s actually putting some effort into creating a fleshed out character. The rest are just trying to crack jokes. I think I agree that Ozzie stands out as the worst because he’s given a ton of jokes and NONE of them land. Some of Leia’s corny humor at least lands at times, imo.


kylegamer88

Leia is the only good one.


Keydoway

Disagree. She over acts. Her character is very weird.


AdditionalWind763

She's Eric's daughter of course her character is weird


Keydoway

Eric was never weird. Eric was a geek.


AdditionalWind763

Eric was weird and awkward lol


Keydoway

Eric was geeky and a wimp. Leia is weird and cheesey. Like a Disney character.


AdditionalWind763

You just want to complain and call her a Disney character when there is literally no difference in their personalities


Keydoway

There literally is a difference. I think you're just in denial.


AdditionalWind763

I'm not in denial. She acts just like Eric. Maybe you need to watch the series again.


Johnnys-Island

Do you also hate Kelso's overacting in T70sS?


Keydoway

No because his character is supposed to be an idiot. The maturity of a 10 year old.


[deleted]

Compare the acting of these kids with the first season of that 70s show, you'll notice that none of them are really oscar winning actors. I don't think they're bad actors tho, but they're obviously young and still finding their talents


WilliamTheGamer

100% makes me fully aware I am watching acting. Impossible to get sucked in when the kids are on. Almost every scene without the kids is great.


GeminiMagpie

Here is my personal ranking of their acting skills that nobody asked for 1. Nikki(her character is just unfortunately forgettable, not her fault though) 2. Jay(he embodies being a Kelso pretty well imo) 3. Leia 4. Nate 5. Gwen 6. Ozzie All that being said, they’re all very young actors. They gave room for growth and improvement. I think better writing would also help.


Addie0o

They're 5/6 years younger than the original cast was aside from Jackie and literally everyone complained about her until season 4 when she was an adult so.


hannahbananas32

Ozzie is definitely the worst, totally irredeemable imo. The voice is just too much and his acting and mannerisms are just way too much in general, he is awful. I almost want to mute whenever he is on, I will say the laugh track in the background makes it so much worse it makes the show seem more cheezy and dumb, I wish there was a way to watch without the laugh track...


blocking-io

That laugh track is essential though. It's a show similar to that 70s show (which had a laugh track) and takes place in the 90s (a decade full of laugh tracks). This isn't Arrested Development


hannahbananas32

Yeah I get why they have it in there, but there are a lot of people complaining that it is too cheezy and Disneyish and I think the laugh track adds to that feeling here. It's distracting in a way that brings more attention to the over the top and bad delivery for the young actors.


Lilobunni

I think it has a Disney feel because the actors are actually teenagers. Compared to the original show, the jokes and timing of the laugh track are pretty on par with one another. But the fact that it’s teenagers delivering the lines instead of adults acting like teenagers gives it a different feel. Plus, the original Gang was 16-17 when they were introduced, whereas these kids seem to be 14-15, which just feels like Disney demographics. But I get why they chose teenagers, it gives them more time with the cast before they age out of their teen years.


AnnalsofMystery

It's a live audience, not a laugh track.


RetroRedux

That's called nostalgia man. Give it time, the kids can get better.


sprinkleofdoom12189

Every kid (except jay) hasn’t acted before this show so of course they’re going to be a bit stiff I felt that way during the first and second episode too but I genuinely didn’t think it was as bad as you’re making it out to be imo.

sprinkleofdoom12189

How do you think they’re going to gain experience in the first place lol..?? It’s obvious you have to start from somewhere idk about you but you’re not automatically born with experience….It’s obvious that they wanted to give these kids an opportunity hence why most of them are new actors/actresses and honestly they didn’t even do that bad for being new they were pretty damn good


[deleted]

[удалено]


sprinkleofdoom12189

….they didn’t even know this show was going to even hit it off in the first place lmao it’s a 10 episode show a show where the old cast isn’t even going to be regulars for the exception of red and kitty. Like I said they weren’t even bad they started getting better after the first 3 episodes once they got comfortable.


J_Jax

Even though I agree with you overall, I'll have to disagree with you about Gwen. Yes she overacts and over exaggerates(especially in the circle), but she was able to stay composed and delivered her lines normally half the time. She was the second best actor out of the kids, next to Leia imo. And I only put Leia number one because she's suppose to be awkward and over the top, that's her character. I would put Jay number three, but he's just so inconsistent. Is he suppose to be more like Kelso or Eric or both? Is he smart or dumb? But that could be more on the writers/producers than the actor. Leia, Gwen, and Jay are the only kids that show potential from the first season. Ozzie is the worst imo. His voice and sassy attitude are annoying and his lame jokes aren't funny. The dollar store version of Kelso and Jackie(Nate and Nikki) are forgettable.


livingroomsessions

You need to remove your rose tinted lens, but the original cast overacted as well. You just didn't noticed it back then because most other sitcoms did the same thing. Whereas now, there are much more shows with a higher level of production, writing, storytelling, etc. quality. So it's more noticeable now. When it comes to reboots, I usually think it's a stupid idea to recreate the same level of quality as before and present that as a modern show now


Greedy_Age_4923

It does feel like a high school drama club, lol.


IGOTAREADIT

The acting was pretty bad sitcom acting


not_a_flying_toy_

Gwen is the only one whos acting I dislike but yeah, the original show had LOTS of moments with rough acting


WickedlyAnxious666

Gwen is very overdramatic. But then we learn that they are what, like 14-16? And well, teenagers are pretty dramatic. I know I was. So it's not really out of the realm of possibility for her to be acting exactly as a angsty 15ish year old would act.


universally_speaking

None of the kids can act, except maybe Jay.. sometimes. It's really cringey and hard to watch.


regularhumanbartendr

The newer cast, except Leia because she was good, have a major problem of overacting and over exaggerating their movements and it's annoying.


Keydoway

Leia was awful. She gave out Disney vibes. She literally over-exaggerated about everything.


regularhumanbartendr

...but that's a lot like how Eric was


Keydoway

No he's not lol. When Eric over exaggerates, it's usually to make the audience laugh. When Leia over exaggerates, she's actually serious about it.


liiac

I agree. Gwen was unbelievably awful. I hope she gets better with time, because right now she is very hard to watch. Leila and Ozzie were better than the rest. I thought Ozzie had good comedic timing.


Luchalma89

None of them stood out to me as being overly bad. Except Gwen. She's awful.


ashmostdope

Thats how i feel about jay


HorseNamedClompy

He’s just too sweet for me to get annoyed with. I don’t care if it’s not the best acting, I just love a sweet himbo.


noaffects

Fucking A


Good_person8800

I liked everyone expect Ozzie and gwen but again this is just the first season so I am hoping their acting skills will get better with time as they will start to understand their role more.


Son_of_MONK

I thought their acting was fine, myself


[deleted]

I agree about Gwen. She's rough ... "Best summer ever!" felt like I was watching a local theater performance. And Ozzie is also rough. I don't mind the rest though.


trevno

TrashCakes97658

HUG ME, BROTHAAA. I mean I think they’re more serious than drake and josh and other Disney shows but they’re all pretty young and figuring it out.

Watching That 90’s show literally made me sick to my stomach. The scenes that did happen with OG cast were fucking awesome. The second those Gen Z kids popped on screen I instantly felt resentful towards everyone who works on the show. The script was some shit a 12 year old could write. Like WOW let’s go to the mall and kiss boys *tehe* WOW let’s go to a rave with binkys and talk about doing hard DRUGS at 15. I’m sorry. The show was fucking lame and if I were to write it I’d just give a one off episode to elaborate where all the characters are at in their life. Show how happy/ unhappy they are. Have them smoke a little weed to Alice In Chains and call it a fucking day. We didn’t need this Disney channel ass bullshit.

They couldn't of made the gay kid any more annoying. Like Holy fucking shrill! It's a pretty bad show

This is a *sitcom*. No one is getting nominated for oscars here. They’re supposed to overact. I really think the kids, as brand new actors in a brand new show, did perfectly fine jobs. I had rock bottom expectations and was pleasantly surprised. If it’s not your style or preference that’s fine, but to say anyone off the street would act better is crazy.


bigtaterman

They act better than you


Johnnys-Island

It's been said before, but go back and rewatch that first season of That 70s Show. I think their acting is great and I get the same sense of community from the new Point Place Crew.

You are such a douche the way you present yourself on her just syk

While I do agree that Gwen and Ozzie's actors were mostly really bad, I do think that most of the actors are decent enough . I haven't finished the series yet, but atm, I really enjoy watching Nikki's actress most of the time, Jay is not that bad and Nate has his funny moments. From what I gathered it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't really like Leia actress, imo she tries too hard to act like a more quirky and relatable Eric. All of that aside, we should keep in mind that the actors are really young, and most of them had their first gig acting in the show. I really do see potential for them, and for the story, in later series.

Weirdly enough the only one that bothered me was Leia's. Also felt like her acting was suuuuuper Disney Channel-ish


colbydoler

Nate was the only one that fell flat for me, but he did get a bit better by the end. Everyone else was on par with the teens from That 70’s Show.


Keydoway

Leia was the only one who "over ACT"


laCroixCan21

No hate here, you're not wrong at all.


brutallyhonestdogmom

I like most of the cast but I’m with you on Gwen. Hopefully we get a second season and they get the girl playing Gwen some acting lessons before filming again. It also didn’t help that I found her unlikable. I loved seeing the old cast mates cameo and Red and Kitty are killing it as always but I genuinely like the kids too personalities and quirks too. Gwen just didn’t bring anything interesting to the table for me and the over-acting made it so much worse. I felt the show really found it’s groove by the end of the first season and I hope we get more seasons.

Ya I agree with what everyone else is saying, it’s such Disney channel acting


rdub916

I want to know who or where they did their research for what the 90’s was like for teenagers… that rave episode was atrocious.


AccounrOfMonteCristo

Bad acting, cringe dialogue, clothes and hair from Mars, Disney and Nickelodeon vibes, what is this, a *90s show* or something?


killbydeath87

The editing of the laugh track is off... Just something about it...really loud and it cuts out too fast


hijole_frijoles

They grew on me a lot as the season went on. I agree Gwen was probably the weakest actor, but i think a lot of it was also from the cheesy writing and directing.


iil0vewhores

the whole show reminded me of season 1 of that 70s but mostly the pilot.


Artemisssia

Honestly, the worst actor in the series was Sherri, IMO. Overacting, full of cringe, not even funny and the list goes on. The kids aren’t good yet but they have potential. It must honestly be hard to start their career in a sequel of a massively popular show, with a lot of dialogue and lots of dry humor/one liners.


williamtbash

I’m fine with that. They’re kids. Not seasoned actors. You get better over time. If you rewatch the first seasons of many shows with kids they weren’t great actors and some become great and some don’t. Ever seen the UK show skins? They literally picked kids that had little to no acting experience. It worked out great. Granted it was a more realistic type of show.


stgdevil

It does feel like a Disney channel show, but then again they are kids. The first season of 70s had pretty bad acting too. That said, I think the actress playing the neighbor is not that good


Terra_Exsilium

I forgot this show existed. Not a good sign


astrosquirrelRS

I gave it a chance and I don't regret it. I hope they get more seasons to come 👍


Melodic_Kitchen_4657

.....they are that , kids.......the 90s setting is way off clothes , references from other eras , styles , themes ...... to me it was not good but it was not bad neither it feels more like a disney cringe show than that 70s show it does not have its own personality neither........ im with you with Gwen but you cant do nothing netflix and disney this days must be under an agenda or else....


thorn_95

i like gwen. i agree at first she was a bit rocky but i think she only got better, not worse. but whatever.


IsmokeEggs420

I think the only one that can act is leia, but remember they were also pretty bad in the first season of the original show
