Netflix does it again! I loved the first season of Fuller House and the second doesn't disappoint. The theme is the same as the 80's/90's sitcom Full House, with issues ranging from love troubles, peer pressure, family, and just all around trying to figure out who you are. D.J. is essentially the new Danny and it works.
The similarities are uncanny from the original sitcom to the remake, right down to D.J.'s baby, Tommy, being a twin just like the Olsen twins. I think it's cute. Actually I think the whole show is cute. I can't get past how they've all aged and it makes me wince because basically we're the same age. Who would have ever thought that D.J., Kimmy, and Steph would grow up to be in their 30's? I sure didn't. The original sitcom was one of my favorites, after Girl Scouts I would come home and watch it (on a super tiny television) in the kitchen while I ate my snack. Good times!
Fuller House is full of surprises, from special guests appearances from the original cast (minus the Olsen twins), Alan Thicke, Marla Sokoloff, NKOTB, and others. Steph's band GirlTalk even makes a musical breakthrough.
Though you may think Fuller House is a simple show, it is, but it's full of nostalgia for me. It's also a reality check, that I am now a grown up. Don't think the tough stuff wasn't touched on the show though. Danny's mid-life crisis, D.J.'s love triangle and Jesse and Becky's new baby show that the series can have real-life issues. Basically the show is a break from all the hateful nonsense of the world, so just give this to me!
