Review by pete-67362

Bel-Air

7/10

Give the original fans more!

Ok so I know the show is a grittier version of the original and I'm ok with that.. it's a different twist on it and I like it. BUT I really think they should have put a lot more Easter eggs in and subtle nods to the original show, this would make original fans who have given up on it more interested and want to watch. For example.. the basketball dude in S2 should have been called Marcus Stokes. Throw in some props from the original show such as the statue Will got his dad/the peacock suit/pictures in the house.. loads you could do! I consider myself one of the world's leading scholars on TFPOBA as I've watched each episode at least 20 times since 1990 and know details inside and out, and yes I am available for hire as a show consultant if required :D.

A couple of things are an issue.. 1) Phil's mom is called Hattie.. why change it?

2) Phil doesn't have a brother.
