Life is no party for the Acostas, but when has a reboot ever felt so relevant?

Party of Five is a tender, topical revamping of an already-tragic story that somehow makes things even more heart-wrenching.

There is potential for "Party" to deepen and grow in subsequent episodes, but the series might not have enough material to sustain itself. "Party" might have a reason to exist, but it needs a reason to keep going, too.

These are small quibbles that are to be expected as the series lays its foundation. Right now I'm just happy to have the Party continue.

It's a unique situation to explore on TV, but it's a reality for thousands of families across the country. Overall, it's a promising start to the series.

If you liked the Salingers, you'll like the Acostas.

The series could stand to be more consistent in how the parents are depicted after the pilot... but I like the variation on the dynamic in which there's a gaping hole in the family's life, without a loss of hope.

This remake of Party of Five proves that old stories cannot only be told anew but they can be retooled to better mirror what it means to live in a Latino family in the 21st century.

The new version of Party of Five... is a timely reinterpretation of the original, a remix with meaning.

The stories can be predictable, and the family too often comes off as perpetual victims... At a time when the immigration debate still involves kids kept in cages, there is no better moment for America to see a series like this.

The rare reboot with a purpose - and a heart.

This new Party of Five matters more and contains a vital relevance that the previous version never did.
