Set in modern-day America, Bel-Air is a serialized one-hour dramatic analogue of the 90’s sitcom that leans into the original premise: Will’s complicated journey from?the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. As these two worlds collide, Will reckons with the power of second chances while navigating the conflicts, emotions, and biases of a world far different from the only one he’s ever known.

Jazz will get thrown out of the house only once, because the first time will fracture his cervical vertebrae and confine him to a wheelchair.

Doesn't look terrible.

Looks very "The OC".

Trailer looks ok, but I fear it will be overtly woke and suck arse.

So, Fresh Prince without the fun? The scene where they dress him up in the suit was the most disappointing from the trailer. I understand this isn't a remake but a reboot, but that was a great scene in the original pilot to show how Will has no idea what he is getting into. He has his hat on and pulls the cumber bun around his chest. In this one, the suit fits him perfectly and he looks natural.

I want to see more sitcoms reimagined like this. The Office, Cheers, Gligan's Island. The possibilities are endless.

Looks like it's missing the fun of the old sitcom. I'd give it a chance but it's not worth getting another streaming service for.

I could see Uncle Phil being absolutely intolerable in this.

It will be hard to tolerate someone who has "been kept down by the white man" while still being a lawyer/judge living in a damn mansion lmao

Who the frick wants there to be a dramatization of an all time great sitcom

Waiting on the Different Strokes reboot that has Phillip Drummond running a human trafficking ring.

He'll send Mrs Garrett to work as a Madame at a girls boarding school, showing them The Facts of Life.

In the gritty Family Matters reboot, Urkel will be a straight-up stalker of the Winslow family, and Judy will be his first victim.

I don’t know whether to consider this blasphemy or actually give it a shot. It look it has good production value, but without all the fun/goofiness of the original. Even though Fresh Prince was a sitcom it still had plenty of dramatic/emotional moments. I guess we’ll see.

The guy who plays Carlton has a weird shaped skull. Like his hair don't start until halfway back his scalp.

I don't know if I can watch that. Its uncomfortable looking.

That trailer actually doesn't look horrendous, but I find it hard to believe this won't be as woke as it possibly could be.

If they stay away from that obvious pitfall, this could be a great show.

This is 100% the OC.

Will gonna sleep in the pool house and have to “bunk with Carlton” whenever Jazz has trouble at home and needs a place to stay. Because there are no other bedrooms available in this BelAire mansion (who designs these homes?!?!)

This doesn't even look like a comedy at all. So they just decided to take one of the most popular 90s sitcoms, and turn it into what appears to be an hour long full on drama?

What could go wrong here?
