Despite the initial season facing various challenges and receiving mixed reviews—for example, Jeremy Mathai’s critique described the series as lacking the original’s depth and charm—the confirmation of seasons 2 and 3 provides the creators with a better opportunity to enhance the storytelling and develop the characters more fully.
