Thoughts on Bel Air? Is this a fair assessment?

[David_TheMan]

One scathing review claimed the original Carlton wasn't obsessed with whiteness and that shyt left me flabbergasted.

Were we watching the same fukking show?!

Like they just remember the one scene of Carlton standing up for himself against the frat breh but forget all of the Regan worshipping and his insistence those cops who stopped him did nothing wrong

Carlton being conservative is no more him being white than being super liberal means being ultra black.
Carlton was a "square" but always proud of being black.
So stop it.

Idk man, I’m not watching this bullshyt but that’s the way of the world now, no reason to be upset about it.

You want someone to blame, you gotta blame Christopher Nolan for everything wrong with this show

What is wrong with the show?

It's a drama nikka

What is wrong with the show?

Idk I never saw it but peoples problems with it seem to be that it’s gritty reboot

This is actually a good show if you don't compare every little detail from the original to this. It's a whole new take on it, and I like it.

He got his ass kicked and he be knocking the shyt out of the other man too. Carlton is solid. He just don't know his role in life.

I’m glad I’m able to enjoy shyt and not find an issue in everything on tv nowadays.

...i enjoyed TFPoB as a teen, and i like Bel Air now as a grown ass man.

it's entertaining and is not that serious.

just say fresh prince or the fresh prince. i aint never seen nobody abbreviate it like that

I’m amazed at how many people in this thread dislike the show even though they’ve never watched it.



If you watched the show and it wasn’t your cup of tea then cool. But disliking a show based off preconceived notions and random Facebook post.

You literally have people who watch the show saying it's good and they just act like they didn't see the positive reviews.

These the type of people who just want to stay ignorant so they can maintain their position. If they actually gave it a chance and liked it that would be problematic. They just react to things based on confirmation bias so there's really no point in going back and forth with them.

I'm just gonna discuss the show in The Film Room where we watch shows then talk about them.

I hope they don't really push that line with Ashley and that bi sexual shyt... But other than that. The show is dope

 

[kej718]

Seems like it was loosely based on Will smiths actual family.

 

[Cladyclad]

I don’t agree with the Op

but in regards to the show it’s a mediocre Lifetime/OWN/Tyler perry type drama. I’m shocked that so many dudes like this show

 

[Doobie Doo]

isn't it about a kid from west philly that gets into trouble & moves to Bel Air with his rich Aunt & fam ?

That's the premise of the show, the plot is the details of what happened aka episodes/seasons
