Anyone check out the gritty reboot of Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

No joking around here, it's all melodrama

Carlton is a benzo addict and basically almost killed Will in the first episode. They hint at some major anxiety issues in his past, and everything Will does comes across to him as a personal sleight. He is going to snap

Hilary isn't as cute as the original but pretty funny. She's a chef/influencer and her mom hates the social media side of it

Ashley is Ashley.. Even sounds the same

Uncle Phil seems like the best dad ever, so he's similar in that way but he's not fat, so no fat jokes. His success has split him from his roots, and he's starting to regret it as he runs for District Counselor.

Aunt Viv is more like the original Viv, and talks about what it's like to move from Philly. She was successful with her art before Phil with law, and supported him at first. Now she's a teacher who regrets not doing art anymore

Will is still a cocky dumbass just not as goofy.. Still goofy as fuck but nobody is as goofy as the original Will Smith

Geoffrey can't get a read on him yet... Seems a lot more serious and someone you don't want to fuck with

Even Jazz is there, round glasses and all

Interesting show, we'll see how it goes. Can always use a good melodrama

Edit: Added some info after 3 episodes. There have been some sitcom elements, like Will saving Uncle Phil's campaign to his old frat buddies by being a lovable dork. Also the guy who is trying to Kill Will, the reason he left Phily, has found where he is in LA and it looks like they're going to try to kill him there.
