The first reviews for the Roseanne reboot are in and it's leaving critics as divided as the America the fictional Connors now find themselves living in.
The sitcom, which was one of the highest rating shows of the 90s, has already caused controversy by the decision to make Roseanne a
Trump supporter. A lot of the early episodes focus on the friction between the self styled "deplorable" Roseanne and the rest of her family, especially her liberal sister.
"To address the elephant, politically speaking, in the room: Yes, the premiere episode of ABC's revival of Roseanne spends a fair amount of time on the main character's support for Donald Trump," Wrote The Hollywood Reporter in their review. "And yes, the fights between Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) and Hillary supporter Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) over that vote are awkward and uncomfortably familiar."
While the return of the original cast has been praised, including a work around for John Goodman who "died" in the show's ninth season, most critics are hoping that as the season, it's tenth, progresses it will dive deeper into the real issues that low- income American families face.
"So far, the 10th season of Roseanne is a little wobbly, trying to shoehorn too many contemporary hot-button topics into a compressed amount of time," reckoned Slant.
