One warning flag is that the show is clearly working to recreate the character dynamics from the original. Justin is Jerry (working at the school also gives Laritate vibes), Giada is Theresa (in that she’s the mortal wife and dealing with magic on a situational basis), Roman is Justin (the older more studious but more boring kid), Billie is Alex (the rebellious kid who makes problems), Milo is Max (the youngest and quirkiest kid) and Winter is a combo of Harper and Zeke.

I have problems with this whole storyline. 1. Justin have 34 birthday in first ep. He has a kid who is 12. The original show ends when he's 19. That means he met his wife not long after finale (and from second film we know he's 20 and busy headmaster of wiz tech). So when he met her? How? What happened with Juliet? 2. We are supposed to believe that Justin kept a secret the whole wizard thing for like 13-15 years from his wife? What he have told her about his past? She never questioned the whole Alex being dog walker story? This never was reviled by accident? No one has problem that Justin is keeping it a secret? His mortal mother never told him about how important for her was to know? Anything? 3. Why Justin kids doesn't have magic? 4. Justin going from being obsessed with wizarding, being monster hunter, being the youngest headmaster of school, being the only exception of one wizard for family. To being fired and giving up wizarding? Being vice headmaster of middle school and living totally mortal life? How? I'm supposed to believe in it? Remember when Justin believed he doesn't have any chance to be family wizard because of his and Alex mistake? He didn't know what to do and was absolutely crushed. He fought hard to be back. Now we are ment to believe he just said given up? 5. Giada being totally fine with random kid who showed up with his sister in law living with them? Justin acting weirdly about it. No questions? Nothing? Her husband and his family lied for years? It's fine, no biggy

Okay Selena still nails it as Alex, but idk Justin seems off. Like how they treated Cory Matthews in Girl Meets World. Just too quirky and I swear he didn’t talk to himself that much?

Alex would still be the cool aunt and helping Justin train his son’s to be wizards and abolish the stupid family wizard rule. You really only need Alex and Justin because they were the only two in every episode. Anyways here are my questions…how come Justin’s sons don’t have any magic powers? I guess no more family Wizards competition since the new premise apparently is like Avatar the Last Airbender where Justin needs to train Billie so she’ll be ready to fight the bad guy because she’s sooo powerful and doesn’t know it yet. Giada is literally a Harper lookalike but less weird. The Milo actor is pretty good. Billie is literally Alex, has the same personality. What is the tribunal? I find it hard to believe Justin wouldn’t tell his wife he was a wizard. Again how does Justin still have powers if he married a mortal? A unicorn incident got him kicked out of Wiztech? I’m just interested to see the og cast make appearances.

Justin’s magical abilities skipped a generation due to the fact that he married Giada. The tribunal seems to be this grand high council of wizards that govern everything.

i watched the whole season, and they mentioned briefly that sometimes magic can skip a generation. the tribunal is basically like wizard fbi, which i think is fitting for alex tbh. i mean i can take justin still having his powers or his kids not being wizards, but the most annoying retcon for me is how billie couldn't seem to do magic without her wand. like the first 2 seasons of wowp and the movie, they did magic without wands. it's just a weird thing to retcon

Or saying Netflix should’ve casted some random actress to play Michelle Tanner in Fuller House because the Olsen twins refused to return due to them no longer acting and now being in the fashion industry. Also I honestly rather see her in a Good Luck Charlie spinoff where Charlie uses the video diaries Teddy made for her. Call it… Thank you Teddy. That’s where she really got famous cause she wasn’t a side character. I ALSO wanted to add that Justin doesn’t have to end up with the girl he dated as a teen/young adult.

It's because sitcom scripts are just a list of jokes. In original series, like "Full House," the actors were all comedians (except John Stamos) who knew how to bend these jokes to sound like natural dialogue and the comedy was birthed from the circumstance. When the ydo shows like "Fuller House," the adults who set the tone are now played by former child actors with no stand-up comedy experience so they just sound like they're taking turns telling jokes.

[@judysm95]

The direction is almost like live theater. They're often yelling lines with no subtlety, they're speaking to each other without always fully facing each other and instead facing audience. It's a kind of unsurprising residual effect from the sitcoms always having live studio audiences.

I feel like if Justin tried to hide the wizard thing it would seem so shady that as soon as his distant sister dropped off some girl who is not related to them Justin starts taking her into a basement for long stretches of time for one on one "teaching/tutoring" where they would presumably come out disheveled a lot of the time cause magic but she wouldn't know that. And she's living with them now? Super shady I'd be so concerned.

just found out Dan Benson from the original show does OF now, I don't know how to feel 😭💀

[@justjoannak]

Yeah, he's been doing it for a few years now, but it confirms that he won't be in this show due to Disney

[@annetanoh3891]

Alex now...do you sleep? Like ever?😂😂

6:20 got me with the one two combo of "was not expecting that" and "funny cuz it's true" 😂

Oh thank goodness you made a video on it, I didn't want to have to watch it myself to find out if it was good or bad

[@dingo7774]

Alex has been my favorite KZbinr for 4 years now and oh my gosh genuinely just love the videos, I never comment anything and idk if he will see this, but at the end of most videos he said "I hope I made your day just a little bit better" and honest he always does and I hope he knows that he really is just a huge ray of sunshine and joy haha, even though the jokes can be depressing I love them as they are relatable and so does everyone else, hands down my absolutely favorite KZbinr and always the highlight of my week when he post 💖💖💖💖

11:34 this not close enough to sue and your Reddit joke had me cackling outrageously for four whole minutes!

[@thecoasterfollower3564]

“No one asked for” buddy this was the most requested reboot lol

[@kendallrivers1119]

Really? That's insane.

[@w1segxrl]

it’s not that bad of a show, I feel like it just started and just because it’s a reboot and a lot of the other ones failed, doesn’t mean this one will also. I’ve got pretty high hopes for this show since it was my childhood, but I do hope that somehow the boys get magic since justin still has his, and his family line is magic I think we have a high chance of it happening.

[@giovannigiovanni.7220]

It's not a reboot, it's a revival.

[@jbcatz5]

@@giovannigiovanni.7220 More like a sequel show since Justin is the only main cast member between both.

[@giovannigiovanni.7220]

@@jbcatz5 Revival means sequel

[@jbcatz5]

@@giovannigiovanni.7220 New location (apart from the Lair) and all new cast except for one, it’s effectively a Justin led spin-off.

[@Boom_Bianca]

I don’t get how Justin is able to still have his magic while being married to a mortal?? Like a huge point in the original was that it’s against the law for supernaturals to be with humans, he’d have to give up his powers for good.
