Criticism

Good Times: Black Again has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences, with criticism aimed towards the animation style, the crass presentation, racist and offensive humor, and general lack of connection to the original series aside from occasional mentions of the James Evans character.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Ranada Shepard, the showrunner, stated the show is "...about family coming together, laughing together, dancing together, picking on each other, driving each other crazy, all while surviving."[11]
