Does it count as a reboot? It sounds like there needs to be some other word to describe this type of resurrection—it seems much more inventive than just a reboot.
I’ve heard great things about this new show, and the meta-ness has me quite intrigued, but I’ve never watched the original 90210, so I don’t think I could get the enjoyment that others will from it (and I have my doubts about whether binging all ten seasons of the original is worth it, though I’m open to convincing…)

Yes, Gremlins 2 is the superior Gremlins movie—if you understand that it’s a postmodern surrealist art film. Also, it’s one of the earliest anti-Trump films (and anti-IoT!).

Technically there was already a reboot:

Yeah, “Gremlins 2” is not a bad movie, just very different from the first one. Which is a good thing! The Tony Randell-voiced Brain Gremlin is an especial hoot.

They drop some nice Luke tribute moments.

I was wondering about that. As someone who watched none of the series, I was still pretty sure I remembered rolling my eyes at news of a reboot of the show at some point some years ago, not so long after it had been off the air. But wait, fourth series? That’s a lot of spin-offs and reboots…

There’s a reason you watched all of none of it. Same reason I didn’t.
