I LOVED Packed to the Rafters, but I’m on episode 3 of ‘Back’ and I can’t get over the level of cheese in the writing. It’s all so, Hallmark movie channel.
It’s shit. Notice how nobody is talking about it. Absolutely ruined it with the Ruby character. She’s diabolical.
Agree!
There was also just a line when Nathan was sending new bar chick a ‘meme’ - ‘ur gonna use all my data’… ummmm….
I’m not sure it’ll get renewed. There’s been no buzz around it whatsoever.
Just another reboot that we didn’t need. While I enjoyed the first episode and it was a good nostalgia hit, I didn’t like the direction the rest of the episodes took. I think a movie could have been enough of a nostalgia hit rather than a whole season.
Agreed. I haven’t binged all episodes at once. I’m up to ep 3 I think. I’ll watch it all, but I’m not in a hurry.
Can’t imagine there was that much interest in it.
Seems like i am the only one that enjoyed it 
It was terrible. And I am huge fan of the original.
No surprises really.
They can blame Ruby for that.
Awful awful character.
I loved it too. Sad to hear this
Really? How did you put up with Ruby?
I liked Ruby. It’s good to see children with opinions
No thanks. She was basically Greta Thunberg. It was horrible.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t want to be preached when I’m watching TV. Instant turn off.
There’s a reason it was axed and I’d put money on the Ruby character as one of the reasons.
Each to their own. You just asked how people put up with her and I was saying I liked that part of it.
Erik Thomson reveals why he will never play Dave on Packed to the Rafters again
‘‘It was hard to recapture the magic that we had.’’
Yeah. They probably shouldn’t have done the reboot at all.
I’m probably one of the only ones that didn’t mind the reboot.
