Alright, so here's my honest take: I kinda feel like the King of the Hill reboot on Hulu is mostly trying to bring back the old school vibe with a sprinkle of new stuff. I mean, yeah, they added things like drone-delivered Alamo beer and VR headsets, which is kinda wild since that's so 2025, but when you look closer, it's still Hank and his friends hanging out in the alley. It's familiar and super comforting, like comfort food TV.
But honestly, I wish they'd shake it up even more. Don’t get me wrong – I love hearing the OG voices come back and seeing Bobby Hill working at a fusion restaurant is pretty funny. But it's kinda obvious they're trying to make us feel nostalgic, since that's what reboots live off. I guess it's cool to see the characters older, but at the end of the day, it mostly feels like Hulu wants fans like me to come back and watch for old times' sake. I’m crossing my fingers that they don’t just recycle old jokes and actually give us some wild new storylines, but I won't get my hopes too high. I’ve seen too many reboots play it safe.
