The cast of a 2002 sitcom is "rebooted" in 2022 with the original cast who all have taken different trajectories with their lives and careers once the show was cancelled. They all jump at the chance to return to their one success in life and are going to make it work - both on and off screen - if it kills them.
Quite rare these days to get a sitcom that has legs, and Reboot has all the elements:
* Superbly cast. Established and new-ish comedic actors doing what they do best.
* Sharply written. No cheap gags here, but plenty of raging against the cheap gag.
* Short form - 30-minute episodes force punchy, rapid-fire dialog. There is no "hang time" or filler here.
Reboot is a social commentary on how Hollywood is creatively bankrupt such that it can only revisit what was done before, how clueless, narcissistic, and greedy Hollywood executives are, and how talent is discarded by Hollywood once they are no longer of use.
Finally, Hollywood is taking its own to task.
