I feel like everyone is expecting way too much “original Fresh Prince,” but that’s just not what they are going for here. Reviews labeling this “reboot/remake” have it all wrong.

Reviews labeling this “reboot/remake” have it all wrong. It takes the basic premise of “Will gets in fight, mom moves him to Bel-Air,” along with the basic characters from the original, but that‘a it. They are their own entity, that exists separately from the original sitcom. From Hilary being much smarter in this series, to Carlton actively doing drugs, the show does indeed change the characters, because it is it’s own show. They story they have told in the first three episodes is pretty great, and I find myself excited to watch the next episode. The overarching story of the dealer back in West Philly still after Will is a good addition to the snow, and you definitely feel for his friend “Tray” (sadly no longer portrayed by Don Cheadle) who he has to leave behind when he leaves for L.A. Jabari Banks is an excellent Will, and is a clear standout among the wonderful cast. Looking forward to seeing where the series goes from here!… Expand

Shocked and Surprised by how much I liked this. I was so sure that this reboot was going to be bunk going into it...but dude...they pulled it off. Can't wait for episode 4 to drop.
