On two weddings: the new "Redeemer ring" stings nostalgia and indulges in it at the same time
The beloved nineties series was not really good, not in real time and certainly not in hindsight.
The "savior ringtone" model 2020 recognizes this and does so wisely and entertainingly - infusing elements from the real world into the fantastic universe of Bayside High School.
The result is not perfect, but it may be on its way there

The Redeemer Ring Trailer - The Peacock Series
If there is one thing that television abundance in recent years has taught us, it is that there are many ways to breathe new life into beloved classics.
"Cobra Kai" is the most popular and successful example of the moment, but it is the exception.
On each one like her or like "Hot and Wet American Summer" there are a lot more slick and forgettable ones like "Bags in the Dark" or "Will and Grace," and sometimes really awful ones like "Arsted Development."
Or as "Grief Raising Girls: The Next Generation."
An originally bad series that won an equally bad sequel, with its corny jokes, saccharine stickiness and pathetic nostalgia - about thirty years after its original premiere, when the world had already changed and viewers had become more sophisticated.
The "Redeemer's Ring" could have fallen into exactly the same tin.
Nor was it originally a particularly brilliant work, to say the least, and its only value today is its longing.

The third season of "Cobra Kai" sharpens the big problem of the series

This entry, too, has already received targeted sabotage through the YouTube series "Zack Morris is Garbage," which for dozens of episodes has demonstrated how the beloved and mischievous protagonist of "The Redeemer's Ring" is actually a devastating scum.
Dashiel Driscoll, who created the network series for Will Farrell and Adam Mackie's "Laugh or Die" channel, is also one of the writers of the new incarnation of "The Redeemer's Ring," whose first season airs tomorrow (Monday) in full yes.
As requested, this time Zack Morris is garbage much more clearly.
This is one representative of how the latest "savior ring" approaches the craft of updating.
She simply holds the rope at both ends: details the strings of nostalgia of lovers of the original series, and at the same time acknowledges all its shortcomings.
Not that the new series itself is free of weaknesses.
As originally, most of the burden falls on the shoulders of the youngsters in the gang - in this case most of them are played by unfamiliar actors who have already passed adolescence.
The weakest link in them is actually the protagonist Daisy, in the lukewarm role of the skirmisher and Essex - like Zack from the original series, she also occasionally stops the frame to delegate her insights to us.
Her acting is not polished enough, something that indicates something bigger in "The Redeemer's Ring" - the constant feeling is that the series could be better.
More than once throughout the season the scenes do not seem tight enough, it would have been better to polish the jokes a bit more at the writing stage, which could have been cut earlier to maximize the comedy and acting in the editing stage.

But the virtues of the 2020 Redeemer "Redeemer Ring" (originally, on streaming service Peacock, it went up last November) outweigh its weaknesses.
The adaptation was created by Tracy Wigfield, wife of "Rock 30" and the two-season series "Good News" (available on Netflix), from which she imported to "The Redeemer's Ring" the mighty John Michael Higgins as the current high school principal.
If you have watched these two series, you already know the humor - fast, witty, self-aware and relying far too much on pop culture.
The clever way in which the new "Redeemer Ring" wraps the memory of the original series in a somewhat rough present, is done by introducing elements from the real world into the fantastic universe of Bayside High School.
You know, one where all students are affluent, nothing has consequences beyond one chapter and love is forever.
To that end, "The Redeemer's Ring" deprives students of a public high school that has closed due to brutal cuts by current California Gov. Zack Morris (Gosler, who returns to a guest role in several episodes).
As requested, these students are mostly blacks and Hispanics whose encounter with Bayside amazes them, and for the first time in their lives also gives them opportunities they have never had before.
Through their eyes, "The Redeemer's Ring" stings all the absurdities of this world, that is, of the original series.

All of the original cast members emerge in the new series, except for Dustin Diamond (Scratch) and Dennis Skins (Balding), but only two of them are actually part of the main cast: Elizabeth Berkeley (Jesse) and Mario Lopez (Slater).
The latter is simply superb, reflecting in his character the series both by clinging to nostalgia and inevitably sobering up and maturing, and as such being responsible for some of its most wonderful moments.
A role that raises the question of why Lopez no longer plays.
Mack Morris, the son of Zack and Kelly from the original series, is played by one Mitchell Hogg.
If in ancient times he was the protagonist of the series by virtue of being a young white man with yellow hair, in the new series he is the epitome of the deep and privileged detachment of the original Bayside students.
Not garbage, unlike his father, but simply a prank-loving clown whose affluent world is self-evident.
The most wonderful of the young cast is Josie Tuta, a transgender woman who already demonstrated her immense comedic talent even before the change, when she starred in the short-lived series "Champions" by Mindy Kailing (also on Netflix).

With all of these, the new edition of "The Redeemer's Ring" manages to position itself as a fun viewing even when it is not uniform in its level.
In its good moments, it is brilliant, and even inspired by its ability to eat the cake and leave it intact - to play on nostalgic strings and at the same time maintain a new and several times more complex universe.
And since as she progresses come some really perfect episodes as well, there is a reasonable basis to believe that her sequel could already become a real gem.
