It looked like a really awful idea, but I see a second season just released so it must have been okish enough to get a following. What's the deal?

Because they felt that if it was a comedy, then it would be forever in the shadow of the original series.

They wanted to do something different with the concept.

That, and the series was also based on a fan trailer of a dramatic reboot of Fresh Prince that Will Smith liked enough to make it a real thing.

I like it, sometimes the social commentary can be a little to blatant but I like some of the changes while it does still have that familiar look

I'd take more comedy reboots like this over shit like That 90's Show or Fuller House, like imagine a serious Cheers, HIMYM or Family Matters

They rebooted that show, too? They really just want to reboot everything from the 80s and 90s and make sure to suck all the soul and fun out of them, don't they.

A serious Family Matters would remove everything that made it iconic, lmao. Sounds extremely boring.

I mean, making Fresh Prince a drama isn't the worst idea in the world IMO. Its one of the classic sitcoms that I think make a lot more sense with a different tone.

The sitcoms that didn't have at least a vaguely dramatic set up wouldn't work like this though. A drama about a poor mother sending her son across the country for a better upbringing with wealthier relatives is a solid idea for a drama.

This. The show had a ton of serious moments.

I haven't seen it yet but I haven't heard anything bad about the show.
