      Kelly Lawler USA Today "Wonder" is a wonder in the world of TV reboots. Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian To get attention for reviving a classic is easy; to do it well is very hard indeed. Rated: 4/5 Dec 22, 2021 Full Review Inkoo Kang Washington Post There's a lot of promise here; the child actors are great finds, and the adult cast... evince a roundedness that you hope will mean story lines dedicated to their characters, too. Sep 28, 2021 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv This Wonder Years lets White folks in on some conversations we weren’t privy to in 1968. Better late than never... Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider This warm reimagining of the nostalgic comedy transports us to a very different region of the 1960s: the Deep South, reminding us that coming-of-age stories are universal. Jan 3, 2022 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof Saladin K. Patterson's script never loses the series' core: a family drama.

      Pepe L Before watching it I had my doubts, what to expect from a new series, based on a series that was so successful? Any doubts were totally cleared up from the first chapter. Excellent product in terms of the dimension and depth of the subject that covers both in particular and in general, I liked them very much. Very good performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Mary-Anne R I'm really dissapointed to hear this is being canceled. The writing is great, the characters are endearing. It's a shame that a quality show like this gets canceled while something ridiculous like The Bachelor lives on. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Ben W Yup, this is really good - different enough from the 'original' to be enjoyed on it's own terms. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review Peter K Authentic and hilarious! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review T.J. J I love this reboot!!!❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Brayden G Absolutely amazing currently watching the second season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
