'Party of Five': 3 episodes in and fans are already calling the reboot series 'worthy successor' to the OG show

Episode 3 of 'Party of Five' was packed with life lessons. The reboot series centering around the lives of the Acosta siblings, navigates their struggles as undocumented immigrants in a foreign nation, following their parents Gloria (Fernanda Urrejola) and Javier's (Bruno Bichir) deportation to Mexico. 

The image associated with the original series is such that, when Freeform ordered the reboot series, viewers were highly skeptical and unsure if the latter can do justice to the former. 

However, three episodes in and fans can't stop raving about the creators' brilliance in creating an exceptionally good show. 

While some seem to have already fallen in love with the Acosta siblings, the rest are happy about the show addressing issues concerning immigration and deportation.

Terming it powerful, a fan wrote, "@FreeformTV thank you for bold enough to have a program like #PartyOfFive going on now, just got done with the first episode. Powerful doesn't begin to describe how good it was with how the US now in regards to our people this show hopefully will bring awareness to it."

Apart from its political elements, 'Party of Five' tugged at fans' heartstrings by featuring emotionally driven characters and a compelling plotline. 

"#PartyOfFive is heartbreaking and beautiful... in love and rooting for this family. That scene where the family got separated broke my heart & moved me to tears and the latest phone call where Mami told Val that they can't talk all the time so that Val won't be dependent," expressed one fan.

Meanwhile, another added, "Such an important show. @PartyofFiveTV revealing the trauma of family separation The scene between Valentina and her mother. This show has me DEEP crying almost every episode. I haven't felt this much emotion since like Season 1 of 'This Is Us'." 

Episode 4 of the 'Party of Five' reboot series airs on January 22 on Freeform.
