I liked the original even though I was a bit old to watch it the first time around. The characters have remained true. Although there has been a lot of criticism about the reboot from being too modern and having high hopes I think it addresses some important topics including but not limited to internet bullying and the LGBTQ community. Also, it's a children's show and I feel like a lot of the actual criticism has been coming from adults who watched this growing up which I feel is an unfair comparison. Reintroducing characters to kids that may have never seen the original takes a few episodes. I'd give it the rest of the season before updating my review but so far it's been a delight to see these characters again. TRUDY!
