Schooled (2019)
Falls flat
Was initially confused with what I was watching, as I thought it was a new episode of the Goldbergs, but quickly figured out it was a pilot for a new spin-off. This is a continuation of the Goldbergs set in the 90's with Coach and Tim Meadow's character at the center of the series. There is great potential here, but I find the family being followed to in no way be as endearing as the Goldbergs and the episode culminating in an entire school singing to a Backstreet Boys song is incredibly unbelievable. The Goldbergs has some real heart, as it's centered around Adam's real childhood memories. This series is not based in anyone's reality and I believe the Goldberg creators are just plain out of their element working in the medium of this decade. Stick to the 80's and to characters that we can care about.
