Fuller House, the Netflix sequel to Full House, brought back most of the original cast and capitalized on nostalgia. The show follows DJ Tanner, who becomes a single mother after her firefighter husband, Tommy Sr., dies in the line of duty before their third child is born. This tragedy is worse than what Danny Tanner faced in Full House when his wife, Pam, died after giving birth to Michelle. However, Fuller House fails to explore DJ's guilt and struggles as a single working mother and instead focuses on her love life, which received mixed reactions from fans.
Overall, while nostalgia can be beneficial, it isn't enough to tell a great story, and Fuller House missed an opportunity to create something impactful and relatable.
