I agree with the majority of reviewers saying this is totally different than the original Fresh Prince of Belair. If you're looking for a straight remake, or even just a comedy, you will not be satisfied. BUT, it is pretty good on its own. I like seeing the similarities and differences in the original vs new characters. I also particularly adore what they did with Geoffrey's character. It's a very fitting, witty re-imagination from the original character. Give this a shot with an open mind and you might like it!
