The trailer seemed like it might be an alright show, but it's weird as shit to see Fresh Prince as a serious drama.

The best part of the original was Will Smith and his chemistry with all of the side characters, especially Carlton and Uncle Phil.

Without that magic, I can't see this working.

What's next, a Family Matters serious drama where Earl has to deal with tons of murders and gang violence and Steve is just a nerd that gets severely picked on?

Ok, I'd so watch that. Carlton ends up getting some guys at school to dress preppy. lol He also defends Will who is seen as being "too hood" when they try to join a fraternity. Then there's the theme song flip.

Even if a more serious route was taken, it would still be more interesting.

I did. It's good. I'm going in with the mentality that it's its own thing.

I will say that the actor they got for Will pulls off his mannerisms.

why is everyone going into this expecting it to be what the original was? its just a different show with the same premise. Of course its not going to have the same charm as the original. Its not trying to. its trying to create its own. It just happens to use the name of characters we recognize. Some of y'all are reading too deep into this being a "reboot"...its a retelling.

I mean, you can. its happened before. Was Snow White and the Huntsman the same cheery Disney telling of it? Its just based on the story. This is a literary device as old as time lol. this is nothing new. they're not retelling the story script for script. its just the same concept of a troubled teen being thrown in a new environment. This one just happens to use character names and loose personality traits from another show.

Kinda getting into semantics there. Reboots can change tone as well. I don't think anyone expects it to be the same as the original either.

But many people do seem to expect it to be the same. "the reason the original worked is because of the characters chemistry", etc, etc...the same can be said about every show. Don't watch this if you're expecting Will and Uncle Phil hijinks. There is a Will and and Uncle Phil, but the Dynamic is clearly intended to be different while holding the same overall themes. All I'm saying is if you watch it, and your critique relates back to the original show, its not exactly fair. And you can't say "well they shouldn't have named it that, then", because that being done for marketing and familiarity should not reflect on what the final outcome of this show ends up being.

Honestly, most these posts in this topic read as shamelessly close minded. Then the ones shamelessly admitting they're gonna let others think for them and form their opinion on that. Which, Im sure they'll then push it anytime someone who actually watches it says it's not bad.

I watchef a review a few days ago that made it seem super interesting.

I understand why its on Peacock, but Will and Fresh Prince have a relationship with HBO Max. I think it would have further reach there.
