minus-squareFrezik@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 days agoI disliked the second one specifically because they gave it a decent budget. The original is genius for how it does so much with so little. The third is an oddball. Made-for-TV budget and quality. It’s interesting for fans of the series, but nothing special.
