I'm sadly too young to remember the first Murphy Brown series so I was hoping that this would be my generations introduction to the wise-cracking, hard nosed female journalist.
Sadly after watching the first 2 episodes I can see that it is not. Sure there were a few times that I laughed (bless Tyne Daly) but other than that this reboot is just another mind numbing, juvenile, vapid, superficial show created to appeal to a broad audience.
The main problem with this reboot is that it centres entirely around Murphy and co. commenting on modern politics and Trump. We already get this type of commentary every single f-n day in newspapers and online and most of us are tired of it. There's nothing new here and I personally am tired of giving my time and energy to thinking about that blowhard.
