The Scrubs reboot is getting positive reviews, currently holding an 89% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 36 reviews. Critics say it successfully updates the original series with the same funny and touching moments fans loved, delivering a new season of enjoyable medical comedy.
According to TheWrap, the series successfully blends familiar, nostalgic elements with a fresh, modern approach. They praised it as one of the rare reboots that both honors the original and avoids damaging its reputation.
According to Pajiba, the show successfully revisits what made it great in the past, improves on its previous weaknesses, and introduces enough fresh ideas to feel like a new experience.
According to Decider, the new season of Scrubs is successful because it shows how the characters have grown up. While introducing a new group of characters isn’t seamless, the show still delivers plenty of humor for longtime fans.
Scrubs streams on Disney+ in the UK, and Hulu and ABC in the US.
