Overall, yeah it is not terrible(although a lot of what I liked was nostalgia related because I'm dead in the wheelhouse demographic of people who will remember the original fondly, someone unfamiliar with it wouldn't have that), but it isn't great either.
The idea of flipping Daniel and Johnny's role is interesting and a good one but if that is the plan then why is Johnny so unlikable and awful? He is a failure at best and a horrible bully (still) at worst. Kind of hard to root for the bullied kid Johnny is teaching when Johnny is consistently someone we hate.
If the writers get their **** together and make Johnny a flawed character who is sometimes bad but that we can relate to, they'd have a great show. As it is now he is just a douchebag 24/7.
Will give it an episode or two more but they are hanging by a thread for me.
Window line was genius obviously.
