The Reluctant Revival of a Bygone Era Paramount+ has revived Tommy Davidson's character Varnell Hill in their new series, The Varnell Hill Show .
While it may seem like an obvious choice to dust off a familiar face and formula from the 90s, the show's commitment to its retro aesthetic raises questions about what exactly this nostalgia is supposed to be selling.
On the surface, The Varnell Hill Show appears to be a pleasant enough throwback.
