I watched it 20 years ago, and mentally had scored it an 8.
Rewatched it a few months ago, and it was much better than I first gave it credit for - solid 9
The show was ahead of its time, and situations and people that were unbelievable to mid 2000s me, (which kinda broke the spell of the show for me back then), were suddenly quite believable after living through 2 decades of clown world
If you haven’t watched the series recently, I recommend it
