While it’s fun to see Carly and the gang back together, the show sometimes struggles to find its footing in a new era. The characters are older, but their antics can feel a bit forced, as if trying too hard to appeal to both old fans and new viewers. Miranda Cosgrove shines as ever, but some storylines feel repetitive and lack the spark that made the original series a hit. That said, there are moments of genuine humour and warmth that remind us why we loved these characters in the first place. It’s a decent watch, but not quite the triumphant return fans might have hoped for. Show less
