Since nobody started one I figured I'd do so.
A number of us likely grew up with the original 1987 show (and the 1990 movie that was in theaters). And European members may be fans of the ongoing comics about the Duck family. Both may find things to like in the reboot.
The 2017 reboot takes aspects of both versions, old show and comic, mixes them with new material, and makes awesome out of it. It's got all the fun bits of modern story-telling with story and character arcs, it's got humor and heart, and it's got excellent voice-acting, with David Tennant stepping up to succede the late Alan Young as the voice of Scrooge McDuck himself. The triplets are all more individual characters now with their own voice actors (instead of the old days of Russi Taylor doing the same voice for all three - she did invoke that voice when voicing a young teen Donald Duck in one episode howevver), and each season has had a focus on one triplet (Dewey had an arc in Season 1 and Louie's was Season 2 - Season 3 will presumably be Huey).
They're also hitting the Disney Afternoon nostalgia button, along with other Disney stuff. From the first episode other Disney Afternoon locales such as Spoonerville, St. Canard, and Cape Suzette were mentioned. Darkwing Duck has come up (initially in a fashion that disappointed fans until the episode "The Duck Knight Returns!" aired in May). One Season 1 episode directly referenced the Gummi Bears and centered around an attempt by a FOWL agent to recreate Gummiberry Juice. We had Panchito and Jose show up for a Three Caballeros episode in Season 2. And at Comic-Con in San Diego this year, a promo poster has shown all the characters we're due to see in Season 3, including Daisy Duck, Goofy, and characters from other Disney Afternoon shows who will be showing up.
Having covered all of this, I'd just like to say that this show is fun. Its got heart, its got character, and it's not afraid to do new things with old material (their take on Webby prompted Doug Walker, aka Nostalgia Critic, to make comparisons to Mabel from Gravity Falls). Consider it heartily recommended.
And do enjoy the season-ending bits. Season 1 ended with a bit revealing important information about the triplets' mother, Donald's twin sister Della (whose absence plays an arc role in S1), and Season 2 ended with something... more ominous.
