It’s been almost two weeks since the release of “Fuller House” on the Netflix streaming service. If you don’t already have Netflix, getting it just for this show really isn’t worth it.

The series is a spinoff of the original “Full House,” a popular TV sitcom in the late 80s and early 90s. The new show follows the life of recently widowed D.J. Tanner-Fuller as she raises her three kids, alongside her younger sister and best friend. As an epilogue, the show itself isn’t terrible. Like “Full House,” it provides a somewhat enjoyable show for the whole family. For those who adored the original, “Fuller House” is sure to be a favorite.

Now, the original aside, “Fuller House” was lackluster. It lacked any real depth or character development. The only real comedic relief was when the cast and the writers threw some slight shade toward the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, for not participating in the making of the show as they had done in the original show.

Instead of creating a new story, “Fuller House” just stole everything from its predecessor. For example, just as the main protagonist of the original, Danny Tanner was a widower and father of three girls; the protagonist of the new show is a widow and mother of three boys.

The show even copied the characters of the original. Stephanie Tanner of “Fuller House” adopted the exact same personality and actions of the famous character Uncle Jesse from “Fuller House.” D.J.’s best friend Kimmy Gibbler, essentially replaced Danny Tanner’s best friend and goofball, Joey Gladstone from the original series. D.J. Tanner-Fuller even became the new Danny Tanner.

While, it keeps longtime fans of the show interested, it makes the show more like a cheap knock off. The show isn’t completely awful, but it is pretty bad. It’s boring and lifeless, and while it tries to copy its prequel, it lacks the fire and ingenuity that “Full House” possessed.
