I enjoyed the first episode of The Mayor. I'll give it a shot. Watched the first two episodes of Ghosted. Not sure about it. I'm a big fan of Adam Scott and Craig Robinson, so I'll give it a few more episodes.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
They aren't really "remakes" so much as they are bringing back old, well-loved characters that have large fanbases -- and that's a tradition about as old as there is (Sherlock Holmes, post Reichenbach Falls, says "Hi!").
As to why they exist? Studios and TV networks are incredibly risk-averse, and it's easier to remind people of an old, popular IP than it is to sell them on a completely new one. Also, a lot of the actors/actresses involved in these revivals have past their peak earning years in the business and are now more willing to do content at a lower price. The cast of "Cheers" was earning a fortune per episode in their final season -- pretty sure you can get Kirstie Alley for your show now if you pick up her wardrobe & catering bills.

Stick to your guns.
Mindhunter on Netflix is incredible.

OK -- so I was wrong in my assessment of Star Trek: Discovery.
It's still "Star Trek" -- it's just "Star Trek" where the writers have set the show on one of the many Starfleet ships the Enterprise is forced to investigate / hunt down because the captain & crew have gone rogue and everything is messed up.

Stranger Things thoughts...
Eleven carried s1. Steve and Lucas carried 2.
Eleven was kinda cringy this season...ep 7 was kinda wat, total waste of time. But yea, no spoilers...just hate everything about Eleven's role this season.
Steve is still the best character.
