I think it's going to take some time for this revival to hit the ground a bit. The first couple of episodes seem to be trying too hard to create proxies of missing characters from the past, which seems like a creative failure to me. Niles might have been an amazing character, but I don't need a poor imitation - give me someone different.
But it was enjoyable enough, and things I've read elsewhere suggest that it finds its feet by episodes 4 and 5. Of course sitcoms always need a bit of time to properly establish the "sit" before they lean into the "com." My biggest battle will be remembering to check Paramount+ weekly for new episodes. I get it through it my satellite provider in the UK on a deal, battling the clunkiest of clunky interfaces. (I tried to watch the Korean show "Bargain" on the platform, but uselessly they only have it dubbed into American-English which made it unwatchable within about 30 seconds).
