Second Chances | The Critic

The Critic was a show just slightly ahead of its time, focused on New York intellectual film critic Jay Sherman as he takes in life in the city the never sleeps. Does this show filled with 90s pop culture references and non sequitur cutaways (years before Family Guy!) hold up to scrutiny in 2020?
