you can have high production values and still miss the mark

This looks less like a reimagining of Fresh Prince and more like a reboot of The O.C. (Which oddly enough was basically a dramatic Fresh Prince knock off with white people)
Anyway, Pass.

Black folk cant look young
A quick google search. Uncle Phil (1990) was 45 when the show started. Uncle Phil (2022) will be 48 soon.
Aunt Viv (1990) was 34 Aunt Viv (2022) is 43
As the saying goes black people who grew up in the 60s just looked older
Yea people going overboard with the hate. This didnt look like no Tyler Perry's Fresh Prince the way the comments are reading.

Now this is a legit issue/concern. Breh has to deliverIt's a lot of pressure on the lead to have just an ounce of Will Smith's effortless charisma. This is gonna be rough

The trailer was aight...though like @Ribbs said, filling Will Smith's shoes is a HELL of a fukking task
THE biggest thing that made The Fresh Prince work was the chaos and fukkery that Will introduced to everybody and the effect that he had on anybody he encountered. He wasn't really pressed about moving to Bel-Air, to him it was like "
Look at these bougie muhfukkas I'm finna eat!" Didn't give a fukk if they accepted him or not, he was gonna do his thing regardless.
But the impression I'm getting from this trailer is that the narrative focus is gonna swing the other way and that runs the risk of turning Will into a passive, reactive character rather than the active character that drives every plot.
Fresh Prince's premise just lends itself better to comedy with the occasional drama
Also now I'm picking nits but as much as I love the use of Made You Look (Will's a big Nas fan) it's kinda tone deaf to have a show centered around a Philly nikka and use an NY rapper song for the trailer
Meek? Beanie? Freeway? Roots? C'mon, son!

First page is miserable posting.
The biggest issue for this show is that it's always going to be compared to the original. It will never live up to the original or be able to escape the OG's shadow.
They should have just made the same show but with different characters/not related to the Fresh Prince.

There's a whole generation of adults who never seen the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Will Smith is basically just Jaden Smith's Dad to them
yall have to realize nobody cares about the people who were fans of the old show, this show isn't for them
