Back to the Rafters

Glad this show is back but please keep what was good from the original show ( the main characters living the ups and downs of their everyday lives). Bring back Coby. Annoying and loud mouth Carbo and Ruby in her Greta Thornberg character almost makes the show unwatchable. Bring on season 2 without Ruby and Carbo.

Loved Packed to the Rafters. Was excited about this one. WHAT is WITH that character Ruby. Absolutely intolerable. Ruins the whole show. Melodramatic overacting. And that storyline with her? Ugh!! So disappointed.

It's great to have the Rafters back but the show really needs to tone down Ruby's character. The first six seasons weren't super 'woke' or 'pc' so why does so much of it need to be now? Literally shoved down your throat every five minutes and it feels out of place. If there's a season two they really need to tone it down.

Viewer of original series. First few seasons were funny, warm, challenges overcome. Reboot season one of Back to the Rafters. Same enjoyable sibling relationships between brothers and older sister. Same capture of love amid struggles between Julie and Dave. Same fun energy. Ruby is written to be agenda-driven. No adorable addition to the family. Look at Home Improvement TV show to see what a child her age can get into with comic results. We already see agenda in the news, do not need it shoved at us every time we tune into Back to the Rafters. Nate should see professional success if he has to attend graduate school to do it for a redirect. If a season two is forthcoming, turn up the humor and tone down Ruby. Actors are wonderful.

The overall show is quite enjoyable. The character Ruby is played by an amazing little actress, but the character is written to be an insufferable little brat that will likely grow up to be jailed repeatedly for violent protesting.
