I'm a grown man with two sons (10 and 13 yo). I loved the original series as a kid so I figured I would give this one a try. It's a nice twist on the original format, which might not be for everyone. This first episode would be a bit too scary for my 10 yo but he has a lower than average threshold for scary TV/movies. I would highly recommend this show to adult fans of the original and their older kids who can handle a creepy monster story.

Adds welcome complexity to the original season

Overall OK, but It Feels more of a Drama series than the original AYAOTD

On the origial AYAOTD, every episode is different. There are episodes for boys and girls, young and grown teenagers. There are thriller episodes, and even funny episodes. The original version is lighter, and more diverse. However, this reboot is more dramatic, and it seems all episodes are sci-fi and dramatic.
BRING BACK SEASON ONE CAST!

What a total bummer. My kids and I found this reboot to watch today and absolutely loved season one, so I purchased season 2. The first group of kids were great and we were very much looking forward to seeing how their stories played out only to find out that the entirety of season 2 has a completely different cast and a different vibe to the whole show.
