I did not see this reboot working, but was very happily surprised. I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. I watched this Roseanna as a kid in New Zealand and loved it, as a grown up in the UK it again has universal appeal. I know it is the white working class midwestern trope that distinguishes it in the US, but it was a big hit around the world and I think people will really enjoy this iteration too.
Reading the reviews, I see some do not like the traditional views of Dan and others complain about the cross dressing grandson and progressive Jacqui. I think this is exactly what makes it relevant and interesting - and maybe an exercise in all sides learning to laugh at themselves.
