Current Events > Bel-Air is a really good show

(+) Yeah! (+)

To bad no one will even watch it because it's on a crappy streaming service, Peacock.

I'm glad I gave it a chance and I'm very surprised how the reimagined characters seem to work. On paper, it sounds like a recipe for disaster but the writing, dialogue, and acting make it all great. The story is your typical drama cliched you see a million times on "serious" shows like this, but this show makes it work. I'm honestly impressed and I think it's worth using your free trial over.

I should check it out.

keep my streaming service out of your fucking mouth

Youre a pretty good show

yea, I really enjoyed it.

the storylines were engaging, and I liked how the characters were reimagined.

initially, I thought that the stuff with Will's dad overstayed its welcome, but I think that the outcome paid off.

i'll only watch it if it ends with a slap

I actually would've preferred if they did more with Will's dad. I was expecting this huge thing it was being built up to, but all it was that Will's dad was in jail and everyone else lying about that. It's cliched, but like you I think the outcome had a good pay off because the show won't be the same as it once was. I'm really hoping for a season 2.

truu.

it ended up being that their unwillingness to talk about it with him was more damaging than anything else.

It's garbage, as all remakes and "re-imaginings" are these days.

I won't watch anything Will Smith will profit from

Oooookay buddy

It's not a "good "show, really. There are too many intensely cheesy moments and predictable plot developments.

It is entertaining, though, and weirdly entrancing.

I watched the first episode with friends as a curiosity and was like "That kind of sucked. So anyway, onto episode 2." They all agreed, lol.

Yeah that makes more sense.

That was my first impression as well when hearing about the show and watching the first episode. Keep in mind that this show doesn't do anything new but what it does... it does a really good job at it imo. I'll honestly just say give at least the first 2-3 episodes a try and if it ain't your cup of tea then more power to ya.

Isn't it basically a 90's sitcom?

I will also say, after about the 48th utterance of the word "jawn" in 2 episodes, I badly wanted to Will Smith Slap Will Smith.

Fair enough.

Nah its a good show tbh

Dude it's borderline creepy that you reply to every. single. post I make. It's fucking weird, quite frankly, and I'm asking you to stop.

He stalks me too, don't worry. He calls me VFrench or some weird name

I enjoyed the first episode, but I decided to wait until the season finished. That way I only have to pay for 1 month of Peacock's premium subscription, instead of paying for 3 months to watch it every week.

So he has a history of this? That's so fucking unsettling and off-putting. Is the only way to handle this blocking him? Can't the mods do something about this stalking behavior?

Nah man everyone here told me it was gonna suck and had already decided it was a terrible show because no one asked for it, remember? You might as well just stop watching.

So the new shitposting alt defense tactic is Baby's First Gaslight.

I did the same thing, except I used the free trial. Peacock doesn't really have anything else worth watching on it imo.

It's a slang to how they speak in Philly though.

Now he's just trolling at this point. Conflict, PLEASE stop responding to my posts. You don't even talk about the topic at hand, you just reply something about me. It's disruptive and creepy and I'm asking you to stop.

Yeah

Bel-Air was a really great drama and am excited to see what season 2 brings. Carlton's arc is definitely the highlight for me for season 1.

Idk wtf this thread turned into since I posted but some of your posts have convinced me to give it a fair chance

I have peacock for da EPL and wwe so maybe i should give dis a watch sometime

He definitely has the best character development in the whole show from start to finish. Second I would put it would be Phil him dropping out of the race in episode 7 was a big one.

It probably would get more discussion if it was released on Netflix.
