It honestly felt pretty seamless to me.
I think you could safely predict the type of criticism that "it's not the same as the original", just like every other IP that goes through new iterations. But it's literally 20 years later, and comedic sensibilities have changed. But they blended the old characters with the new ones well and the differences between them seem to be the basis for the storylines this season.

Felt like there were way more over the top slapstick bits, but slapstick gags are timeless when done right. Overall I enjoyed the new episodes.

My face is a bum!

I set my expectations low, because there's no way something I've been willing into existence for 20 years was going to live up to my personal hype.
I was pleasantly surprised, I thought the episodes were solid.

Pleasantly surprised and nice to have the 20 year cliff hanger resolved.
With the power of hindsight it's ridiculous a Lord/Miller and Bill Lawrence project was ever cancelled in the first place.

Caught up on all four episodes. Still in awe this was brought back from the dead and is actually pretty good. Have had the song stuck in my head all week. Has the same feel as the original but with 20 more years of teen dramas to satirize.
Was skeptical of the new cast but am liking so far and seems like they've spread Gandhi's character traits around the newbies. Am finding the magical unibrow super hilarious.

I still miss Ghandi, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Genghis Khan.
But Butlertron is the real Hero.
