Frasier enthusiasts offer their verdict on latest season

The revival of the beloved sitcom “Frasier” has sparked mixed reactions among fans and critics with the airing of its second season. Starring Kelsey Grammer as the iconic Frasier Crane, the original series ran for 11 successful seasons from 1993 to 2004.

Earlier this year, a 10-episode revival brought Grammer back to reprise his role as Frasier Crane, who returns to Boston where his son Freddy, played by Jack Cutmore-Scott, has just started college.

While the first season of the reboot received criticism from The Independent, branding it as “dismal and unfunny,” it still garnered overall success and a call for more shows like it. The second season premiered on Paramount+ to eager fans.

Viewers expressed a range of reactions to the new season, with some praising it, while others found it confusing or disappointing. Despite mixed reviews, die-hard fans seemed satisfied with the revival, appreciating positive representation and unique storylines.

Critics also had differing opinions on the show, with The Telegraph applauding the series for its scriptwriting and enjoyable dialogue, while The Guardian gave it a more mediocre rating, citing basic humor and dated laugh tracks.

In the reboot, Frasier finds himself back in Boston teaching at his alma mater, Havard, where he encounters new challenges and reunites with old friends. The series also features a talented cast including Jack Cutmore-Scott, Anders Keith, Jess Salgueiro, Toks Olagundoye, and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

“Frasier” is currently available for streaming on Paramount+, with new episodes released weekly, providing fans with a fresh take on the beloved character and his adventures in academia and beyond.
