Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us deep into the walls and underneath the ground to the land of Fraggle Rock. But this isn't the first time we've been here, we remember this place from long ago and it's time to go back. A reboot of a series that ended in 1987 is just what Apple TV+ needs right? Let's find out!
Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has 13 episodes in it's first season and it's just as charming as you remember. The muppets look as good as ever, the characters a charming, and the world building in this show is actually quite good! Each episode has a fun adventure with a pretty solid through line of exploring "outer space" which is just our world. There are some pretty great jokes that go along with this too. In the pilot episode one of the characters gets attacked by a dog, when telling his friends about it he says "I was attacked by the most vicious space monster" and it cuts to the dog being cute and cuddly with it's owner.
Now what's not good about this show, you ask? Not much honestly. The plot is pretty straight forward and some of the messages in it are pretty campy and corny but this a television program for kids so it makes sense. If you're looking for a deep experience with themes and intense dialogue and action this show is not for you. But if you're in the mood for some fun jokes and adventures and cute muppets you got yourself a great show!
When reviewing shows I take an average 5 star review of each episode and give additional stars for production, characters, plot, setting, and overall feeling. This show gets a 2 star rating for episodes and then points for production, characters, setting, and overall feeling.
Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock gets 6 out of 10 stars!
