The premiere begins 20 years after the previous episode, with Season 9 and the final episode being almost completely retconned out of existence as both a dream of and a story by Roseanne – namely Dan's death, when he is actually alive. A now separated and unemployed Darlene moves back into the Conner household with her two children, Harris (whose existence is the only surviving element from Season 9, although the character is several years younger) and Mark (whose gender presentation is cause for conflict). Roseanne and Dan have lost weight but are now on medication. DJ has served a tour in the Army and now has a daughter named Mary (with DJ's wife still serving abroad) and Jerry works in Alaska on a fishing boat. When the first episode begins, Roseanne and Jackie have not spoken since the [[2016 United States presidential election|2016 presidential election]] (Roseanne having voted for [[Donald Trump]] while Jackie voted for [[Jill Stein]] despite her having no idea who Stein was, describing her as "some doctor"). The two are reconciled after intervention by Darlene. Meanwhile, desperate for money, Becky, who has struggled financially after her husband Mark's death, agrees to act as a surrogate mother for a woman named Andrea ([[Sarah Chalke]]). Both Dan and Roseanne opposed this since Becky's eggs will be used for the pregnancy. ==== Critical response ==== On [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]], season 10 holds an approval rating of 69% based on 80 reviews, with an average rating of 6.72/10. The website consensus reads: "''Roseanne''{{'}}s return finds the show's classic format, original cast, and timely humor intact, even if the latest batch of episodes suffers from sporadically uneven execution."<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/roseanne/s10 |title = Roseanne: Season 10 (2018) |website = [[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date = November 27, 2019 }}</ref> [[Metacritic]], which uses a weighted average, assigned the season a score of 69 out of 100 based on 31 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/roseanne/season-10|title=Roseanne: Season 10 Reviews|website =[[Metacritic]]|access-date=March 27, 2018}}</ref> Actor [[Tom Arnold (actor)|Tom Arnold]], Roseanne's ex-husband, reviewed the revival positively, specifically praising Metcalf's performance.<ref name="arnold">{{cite web |url = https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-arnold-reviews-roseanne-reboot-i-can-watch-can-you-1095879 |title = Tom Arnold Reviews 'Roseanne' Reboot: If I Can Watch, So Can You|author=Tom Arnold|author-link=Tom Arnold (actor)|work =[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date = March 26, 2018}}</ref> U.S. president [[Donald Trump]], whom Roseanne Barr has publicly supported, phoned to congratulate her on the success of the premiere. Barr described the call as being "pretty exciting", stating in an interview on ''[[Good Morning America]]'' that Trump "really knows ratings and how they measure things". She commented that the show would continue to address current U.S. issues, hoping that it would "[open] up civil conversation between people instead of just mudslinging."<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://time.com/5220243/roseanne-barr-trump-call/ |title = President Trump Made a Personal Call to Roseanne Barr|magazine=Time|access-date=May 29, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/03/donald-trump-roseanne-call-ratings|title=Donald Trump Called Roseanne to Congratulate Her on His Favorite Thing: Huge TV Ratings|author=Yohana Desta|magazine=Vanity Fair|access-date=May 29, 2018}}</ref>
