I wanted to go into this not being a bitter hater because Jamie Lynn Spears does not deserve good publicity. But having watched this show when I was young I was intrigued anyway.
1. Too much is going on. There's a subplot about Zoey's job that really takes up to much of the run time.
I'd rather focus on the wedding.
2. For the most part, I feel like the characters have some semblance of who they once were. Like Stacey being an obsessive true crime podcaster makes sense somehow.
Quinn only had like... one moment of being a weirdo.
Zoey... she never seemed like the person who passively accepted misogyny. It's a real world thing, but would she really stay at a job that ignores her for that long? She had more gumption as a teenage girl.
3. I had a few laughs, so the jokes weren't completely horrible. Like PCA being an unaccredited school was a good tongue in cheek joke.
4. I had to grab a drink after the 30 minute mark to be honest.
5. Jamie Lynn being a horrible person to her costars and her sister makes it hard to remember I'm watching Zoey. Or that the show itself was toxic as all get out.
6. iCarly is a better example of how to actually revive a series for an adult audience.
I don't know why Nickelodeon greenlit this but Jamie Lynn needs money I guess.
Overall, if you don't care about the drama behind the scenes, that Jamie Lynn is a monster and just wanna watch your bonus episode of Zoey 101, I'd say go for it.
