I loved the original show. It's still one of my favorites. I went in with an open mind with this one because obviously it wouldn't be the same, nor should it be.
I really liked this reboot! They really kept to the characters personalities, and portrayed pretty well how they would be grown up. The Michael twist didn't bother me too much either (even though I always will be original Michael/Maria forever). It is a fresh reboot and I really hope they can keep it going and tie it up nicely.
