3. First two seasons are great!

Lots of Easter eggs referencing the original show. Excellent cast- my favourites were Molly Parker, who played Maureen, and the actress who played Penny, but the whole ensemble was great, and gave the show the sense of family and heart that made it great.

3rd and final season suffered the COVID curse affecting many streaming shows filming during the pandemic - fewer episodes funded, requiring storylines to be condensed or truncated, and the majority of the scenes only involve 2-3 characters at a time, to minimize the risk of the entire cast getting infected.

Still, it was great to see the Robinson family complete their story.
