Hanging out down the street, the same old place we used to meet. I’m not going to lie, I was excited about this one. Part of me knew there was a very real chance it would be a train wreck. But there was that other part of me that held out for hope. After all, That 70s Show was a big part of my teen years. I was hoping That 90s Show on Netflix would have that same spark for me.
That 70s Show was fun, had relatable characters, and gave me a (sometimes accurate, sometimes not) look at life in the 70s — the time when my own parents were growing up. Fast forward to today, I have a 13-year-old daughter and I’m excited to give her a look at the 90s from the lens of a modern show that she’ll be able to relate to better than re-runs of its predecessor.
