In with the Old (2021)
Misnamed - should be called Out with the Old
Watched this expecting to see old/historic homes being renovated with an eye toward retaining the historic look and feel of the house, similar to This Old House projects. Instead, for example, I see them destroy every bit of charm from a beautiful Cape Cod brick house and turn it into a shame to look at. Typical to a lot of shows, it starts talking about how horrible the shape of the house is and really all you see are a house that needs the trim stripped/painted, new roof, and landscaping cleanup on the outside as well as minor reno on the inside. The example house winds up the host's personal vision of a modernized style-less thing. If you want to see someone retain all the charm of truly old homes, watch Nicole Curtis on Rehab Addict.
Justified: City Primeval (2023)
Generic cop show
This is NOTHING like the original - it's a big city cop show with cops and detectives and Deputy US Marshall Raylan GIvens is there trying to get back to Florida. Yes, Raylan GIvens and his hat are here but all the charm and character of the original are missing. Personally I thought Timothy Olyphant was the least interesting personalities of the original. From the very first episode of the original, Boyd (Walton Goggins), Ava (Joelle Carter) and the rest of the Harlan County characters were irresistible. My wife and I loved the original and she likes Olyphant much more than I do but she can't stand the new one. We've watched 6 episodes and can't do any more. I'll just wait a while and rewatch the original, thank you.
