      I really wish Paramount+ would make a UA-cam channel just to expand the iCarly universe because she's pretty much a UA-camr now. You know, kinda like how the old show has a real website with exclusive content. Would love to see extra content online even though it's 1 minute short.
      As for the show itself, I really wish they make the scene transitions more like the old one but with social media interface. Having Bushwell as the transition feels "naked". And the intro to the opening theme song could've been smoother.
      It's not a bad show tbh. Some episodes feel a bit off to me, probably because the abrupt outro but episode 7 is definitely the most iCarly episode so far

It was a bit over the top though since that would have been 10 years behind the times when the original series started. I mean that was Gen X high school fashion. lol

      Idk, to me she does though, and that's kinda why I think Harper is the weakest link of the show. Literally every other line has something to do with her being bisexual or her being black, and very seldomly do those lines hit. It's like they don't know how to give her a personality or a backstory outside of that, or just don't care to.
      Hmm, where have I seen this bisexual woman of color schtick before? 🤔

      @@gwynella1039 As someone that has been following the show avidly since it dropped, it's definitely there, and it's a little concerning to me. I'm not against diversity by any means, but what I don't want is for the character's tokenness to be their whole identity. It would be cool to see them flesh Harper out more and give her more lines that are more indicative of her personality and not just her sexuality or race. Aside from her aspiring to become a fashion designer, what else do we really know about her? The reason why I like characters like Aqualad in Young Justice is because while that is a part of who he is, it doesn't define him. I can't say the same for Harper just yet.
      With that being said though, you can really tell that the actress is giving it her all with whatever she's given, so she definitely deserves props for that.

    I'm really loving Milicent's character here so far. At first, she seemed like she was going to be the bratty child who acts mean to everyone. Now, she's showing signs of a tsundere, in that deep down, she really does care about Freddie and does want to consider him a dad. It's really wholesome. I must say, Freddie and Milicent's arc is probably what will keep me watching for the series.

      Good thing they gave her that character development so that we can see now why she is how she is, and that she does love her dad and they establish what she wants from his parenting of her, which is good for people skeptical of her character. I agree that the Tsundere thing would work, especially for a child not quite sure of themselves which is more appropriate as a way to show a balance of both sides to her. Glad they did it.

      I feel like that also adds to the theory people have of Carly and Freddie being end game, their love lives mirror each other at first, then they get further connected through Millicent, showing a family dynamic through the web show as it's all three of them together. It would be kind of cool if that's what they were going with, but they likely have other things in mind and the Carly Freddie endgame is still up in the air as being an actual slowburn. Shows nowadays tend to try to twist things to be less predictable, for fans sake hopefully this doesn't suffer from that (sometimes predictability is good).

      That is because Paramount+ Does have commercial breaks just as a regular cable network, in the cheaper 4.99 plan. And well, I guess They didn’t want to make such a risky choice extending the episodes duration to 45 minutes or longer, knowing that the original show was usually 20 to 30 minutes. That would’ve been a more expensive production Choice and I think it would’ve taken longer to release the episodes.

    I mean as a kid in my 20s, I kind of got the feeling that they’re trying to keep away from the sitcom formula of introducing a new problem/issue and then immediately solving it within 20 minutes. Life doesn’t resolve itself that easily and that quickly; your anxieties and fears persist for a while, and things feel more complex as more and more of these problems layer themselves over one another. There’s no lesson or feel-good moment at the end of the day, because there’s always another day. The show goes on. And that’s alright, but learning to live with that fact is part of not being a kid anymore, and that feels like a natural evolution of this show for me.

    I am actually a really big fan of the abrupt endings in ep 6 and how they add to the humor. Most of the time such as with Freddy, the resolutions are implied. With Harper, we eagerly wait to see if it will result in something in a later episode. With Carly, it subverted expectations and just admitted Carly was right all along which is really funny to me.
    it matches the humor I remember the show having and I really liked the episode as a result. I don't think the show needs a moral lesson, being funny is enough sometimes.

    I hate the abrupt endings! It’s still so shocking how different the writing is for this reboot. In the original iCarly the shows would feel so long and be able to tell a whole story in only 30 minutes.
    I feel like the show still has potential, but they need better writers. This show already feels like too much character wise, so I’m happy we don’t have sam or gibby as regulars. Maybe they should just make the episodes an hour long and under 10 episodes. More character development and throughly timed scenes where the cast can actually excel

      I think the reboot is just fine without her. The dynamic isn't the same but it's just different. And difference and change isn't always a bad thing. And, in reality, as you grow older you're not always friends with, or do you have the same dynamic with friends you had growing up. I can name at least two individuals who were my closest friends in middle school in high school who I probably only speak to now in Facebook comments. The dynamic I have with my friends that I have now is nothing like those school-age friendships because I... you know... changed and grew up. And it also makes sense that Freddie, after growing older and being a young father, is closer with and can relate more to Spencer who spent most of his 20s raising his sister Carly.
      What it sounds like you want is the original show which still exists and you can rewatch it any time.

    My biggest complaints are Spencer and Freddie seem to be half baked shadows of their former characters. Barely funny and barely recognizable. The banter between characters isn’t as funny as the original either, like Carly and Harper don’t have as natural chemistry as Harper and Spencer do. I hope Harper and Spencer get more time together because that relationship is more fun to watch. The original show had a more wacky silly attitude and I would have enjoyed an adult version of it, but instead they thought that to make the characters grow up they had to make them boring and write them painfully unoriginal jokes. Come on, how do you make Spencer boring?

It would make the show interesting and it would allow an extra layer of depth to make this revival top tier but it's not something the producers can ever do since it's just up to the actress. If anything I'm surprised they'd managed to do so much even without one of the most iconic characters.

Either the show’s on a reduced budget compared to the original, or the new showrunners just didn’t bother.

      While I do miss the original music and transitions, I kind of see why they changed it up. The original show was much more of a kid’s show and the characters were younger, so the energetic rock was like the vibrancy and energy you have as a child. With the revival, the transitions and music are a lot more simpler and relaxed, which fits with what the revival is going for since it is aimed more at adults now and the audience who grew up with the original show as kids are now around the same age as Carly and Freddie (hence the energy is not as high as before). I’m 25, so I’m pretty much around the same age range as Carly and Freddie and fit within the adult audience.
      I did think coming in that the transition sequences would have been updated to resembling a smartphone on an Instagram-type app where the scenes could have changed from swiping down a few posts and then “liking” it, which takes us into the next scene similarly to what the original transitions had with the computer and clicking into the next scene. That could have been nice.
