I'm fairly certain I only watched the R rated version of the movie. I am also fairly certain that my rating would not have changed if I had seen the other version of this. I guess it would have been way more fun to watch ... but really that is not a high bar here.
Kudos for making the transition from Terry to another actor somewhat believable. But it really is not enough to elevate this, even if it is a neat idea. The new actor never reaches anything Terry set out and does not come close to him when it comes to charisma or acting chops in my opinion. This feels like a darker tv movie - all cliches included. Not many saving graces, except I reckon the ending that put a stop to the whole series - although if it had been succesful I reckon they would have thought of something to continue with the madness.
