"This whole new mission was probably clearly a mistake..."

I don't understand why they didn't re-brand with a new mission. This clearly sin't Encores! and I haven't read one positive comment about either show so far this season. Is it possible they are going to destroy ITW as well?

Sounds like the reviews could be cribbed from the show's lyrics:

Wednesday you're new
Thursday you're through
It happens sooner than you know
That gravy train gets mighty slow

OR

This game of cops and hookers it ain't nothin' new.
But nowadays they sure got better things to do
They even might have time to solve a crime or two
If they would leave us working girls alone

Despite my love of THE LIFE, twas covid keeping me away. I still wish the production well but the early buzz makes me think I may never see this version.

I learned from Twitter that The Life has a considerable following; many people adore the score, and have great memories of the original B'way production. Other than White's performance, nothing much stuck with me -- the subject matter just didn't whet my appetite, a subjective take -- so I'm curious about how all of this revision/reframing sits with the fan base.
