I’d be surprised if Reboot got renewed as it never followed through on its own premise. ‘A 90’s show is rebooted into a darker version without the Hallmark-iness or Full House-ish.’

We never actually see if it follows through, the cast isn’t very funny or likeable, the only good thing is the outdated writer’s room which is supposedly what they are trying to get away from, and to sum it all up; it’s not funny.

To quote/paraphrase Chevy Chase from Community, ‘There’s gay people in it.’

Like in real life the initial pitch got meddled with until all left is the reveal at the end of the pilot. (I liked how meta that got.) It's a fun show and I liked it a lot.

It is funny. But you are correct in the fact that they don't actually make the show within a show darker

I'm not sure if you thought you were watching the show within the show but I got the exact opposite experience from you. The cast is great. Who doesn't like Judy Grier? Key? Johnny Knoxville? Paul Reiser??? Like maybe Rachel Bloom isn't your jam but the others are all known for being really funny and likeable. And I'm not sure what you think they don't "follow through" on, the point is that the network meddles with the premise to reboot it and just makes the same thing over again.
