NetflixRotten Tomatoes score: 10%Summary: "Good Times," an animated revival of the 1970s sitcom of the same name, centers on the Evans family as they try to get by in Chicago.
Critics said the animated series seemed fine-tuned to offend viewers, all while banking on the nostalgia for the original "Good Times."
"In a way, it would have been better to just craft this as an original series without all the baggage and expectations of reinventing a TV classic — but then, Netflix wouldn't have gotten all the headlines and attention from the shocked reactions," Eric Deggans wrote for NPR.
