Three episodes in, I think it's a good start overall. I've had some laughs, which is a rarity for most modern comedy shows.

What I like:

• Kelsey Grammer immediately and confidently embodies Frasier. What a fantastic actor, from comedy to the more dramatic moments. You just believe the man IS Frasier.

• I like that the styling (intro, fonts, etc.) resembles the original but with a modern touch.

• Love that they have a variation on the closing theme.

• I enjoy most of the supporting characters.

• It does not try to be woke. No forced in social justice lines.

Could be better:

• In the original show, Frasier's apartment was a character in itself. I don't get this feeling with his new apartment. I feel they should have taken us along more with Frasier in the decorating process.

• I like most supporting characters; Alan Cornwall is pretty funny. David Crane is hit and miss. Sometimes he's funny, sometimes just awkward.

• I do miss the snobby and rival kind of relationship dynamic between Frasier and Niles.

In closing: these are just my first impressions. I believe it's way too early to call the revival a success or a failure. Calling that out now would, in my opinion, mean you haven't given it an honest chance.
