Reviews

Critics have shared a mixed bag of reviews for "Tom and Jerry in New York." On IMDb, the series holds a rating of 6.9/10, reflecting a generally favorable response from audiences. Some viewers appreciate the return of Tom and Jerry's classic slapstick humor, emphasizing how the series captures the essence of the original cartoons while infusing it with new life. A review from Collider states, "The series rekindles the timeless charm we loved while offering fresh scenarios that resonate with modern viewers." In contrast, some critics point out that maintaining the balance between novelty and nostalgia doesn’t always succeed. The AV Club notes, "While it has moments of brilliance, it sometimes feels repetitive and predictable, lacking the creative spark of the classic shorts." The humor has been described as hit-and-miss, with some jokes landing perfectly while others fall flat. Overall, the series seems to appeal more to younger audiences, providing them with an introduction to the legendary duo. While it successfully entertains and engages, veteran fans might feel a longing for the originality of earlier installments, as encapsulated by the critic from Rotten Tomatoes who remarked, "It’s an enjoyable ride through New York, yet it lacks the creative depth of its predecessors."
