Absolutely nothing at all what I was expecting, but very good non the less.
Although Fresh Prince was a light hearted comedy, If you really think about it, had a pretty brutal story at it's core; boy has to leave his mums in Philadelphia because he was muddled up in drugs, guns and gangs and fly across the country to his rich uncle and aunties to be protected, struggling to adjust amongst the wealthy... I get it and I like what they've done to it.
They put in some of the classic moments from the OG - Will turning his blazer inside out at school for example - but this is a totally different vibe.
It's going to be that if you are a fan of the original, you'll either love it or hate it. People that have never seen the original however (where have you been??) will likely enjoy this as a stand alone drama.
