OK...Wow. Netflix remade a beloved franchise and the DID NOT take EVERYTHING people LOVED about the original and intentionally TRASH it to make the point that the fans of it were awful for...reasons.

This is really good. It's actually REALLY good. They don't do that "woke" thing of "it was made in the 80s so we have to punish the fans for not being a Millennial."

It takes the elements that people loved from the first run...AND IT KEPT THEM!!!!

It treated what made the first one good with respect!!!!!!

That is all people like me want!

You have to watch this. This is finally a remake done right!!!!! This is good!!!! It is shockingly good!!!!! And it doesn't attack the fans of the original!!!!!!

You've reached the end.
