Bel-Air

In comparison to the original this show Bel Air adds the seriousness to the main stories that many fans of Fresh Prince of Bel Air didn't consider. This version isn't meant to be a comedy; it is more like a drama. Bel Air reminds me of All American on CW. It has funny points but the drama and consequences are heightened. I appreciated it for what it was. The best way to watch it is without all the memories of what the original was. My advice is to watch is as a completely new show with different characters.

I mean, I'm black but does every 2 minutes I gotta hear about black this, black that. I get it, trust me, I hear it everyday on news, online and everywhere else. Can we just watch a show these days without hearing this ish?

I grew up on the original. I love this version. You have to give it a chance for what it is. It's not the original and doesn't try to be. Very good acting, real life stories, and a new spin. You have to give it a chance for what it is. It's not "the fresh prince" it's just "Bel Air". I'm invested. Love the cast.

It's a adaptation not a copy . I like it for what it is . The original was funny and innocent. This is more realistic rough and ready . Modernisation . Don't understand the bad ratings on here. Most expected it to be the exact same as fresh prince 90s? That's just so dumb .

If you read the first few reviews and skip watching this you will be missing out. You have to put the original aside as a completely separate show. The original was a comedy with a side of drama. The reboot is a drama with a side of comedy. Both are good, just different.
