The Guardian would want to take the auld head out of the arse occasionally and focus on actual investigative journalism rather expecting overtly obvious profound social commentary from Malcolm in The Middle. I thought the reboot was phenomenally good and a fitting homage to the original. If you didn't get it, then maybe comedicly brilliant subtle messaging isn't your thing.
