When the series was announced, it was dismissed by many as yet another unnecessary Hollywood revival of a long-dead franchise with nostalgic value and that it would flop. The fact that it was premiering on YouTube Red, a service which had struggled to gain traction against streaming giants Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime also didn't help. When it premiered, reviewers praised it for being a well-written series that manages to balance the nostalgia while bringing new energy and dynamic characters and the first episode wound up being watched by 5.4 million viewers on its first day. The series was quickly renewed for a second season within a week, eventually picked up by Netflix, and is held up as an example of how to revive a dormant franchise the right way.
