Netflix’s ‘Good Times’ Animated Reboot Receives Mixed Reviews

Critics highlight the show’s departure from the original’s spirit, noting its excessive and edgy content.

Netflix's animated series 'Good Times' has been criticized for straying far from the original, with features like a drug-dealing baby and outlandish humor.
The show includes a new cast and modern adult animations but fails to capture the charm and warmth of the 1974 original.
Critics argue the reboot does not justify its use of the 'Good Times' title, feeling more like a cynical attempt to attract attention.
Despite a rocky start, some later episodes show promise with creative elements and sharper satire.
The series, featuring voices from JB Smoove and Yvette Nicole Brown, struggles to find its voice and consistently engage viewers.
