re: Bel Air

One episode in. Nothing really spoilerish other than character development basically available in the trailer:

No one is as quite as “lovable” as the original.
The attempt, I think, is to make them all more like “real people.”
Jury is out on Carlton- I think the actor is good, but I’m not enjoying the character so far.
The actor playing Will is pretty impressive. The guy playing Phil is pretty great, too.


I’m interested to see where it goes, but to not have a straight-laced Carlton and to have real contention between them from the onset is a very new perspective. Uncle Phil seems much more stern and possibly even scary.


I’ll watch the season.
