Ladies and gentlemen very sadly reboots and remakes and reimagining's are now an all to common place in the world of Hollywood entertainment and well then we have yet another new reboot for us all to talk about. However unlike all of the other reboots where they kept to the exact same genre as the original this one also changed genre and so join me as I give you my SPOILR FREE first impressions of the reboot that let's face it alot of us forgot was even happening with the reboot in question being called simply just "Bel-Air" enjoy.
The plot of this first episode is after getting released from police custody for using a gun and being in a fight with a known gangster young basketball star Will Smith is sent to live with his rich Aunt and Uncle and his cousins in the post town of Bel-Air in LA. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very very episode was at best OK since all it does is just cover the first half or so of the original TV shows theme songs whilst adding literally nothing that's all that new to that exact plotline in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this first episode is Jabari Banks as Will Smith , Adrian Holmes as Phillip Banks and Cassandra Freeman as Vivian Banks. Also starring in this episode is Olly Sholotan as Carlton Banks , Coco Jones as Hilary Banks , Akira Akbar as Ashley Banks , Jimmy Akingbola as Geoffrey Thompson , Jordan L. Jones as Jazz , Simone Joy Jones as Lisa Wilkes , SteVonté Hart as Tray Melbert and April Parker Jones as Viola "Vy" Smith.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that freaking bad. Which considering that the overall majority of this shows cast are either newbies to the world of acting or are very little to unknowns the fact that this first episode had same very freaking decent acting within it was a very good thing in freaking deed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then as alot of you will surely no doubt be where of but this TV series is actually an adaptation of to things the first of which is of course the 2019 Youtube released short film of the exact same name. While I did like the short film I didn't really think that there was more to do with the idea as good as the idea was simply because not everything needs to be made into something more then what it already and this short film is a prime example of that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this TV show is of course also based of off the 1990 sitcom which is called simply just The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. However this show tho is a more dramatic retelling of the The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air storyline which I do like as basic idea for a TV show since it is a fairly original take on this show but at the same taking any comedy and turning it into a drama was also going to be a hard sell and the exact same thing was also true for this show as well in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this show does have the original creators and star Will Smith on board as executive producers. Which yeah i'm not going to lie that's a good sign since whom else is going to care more about those characters then the people that created them however that doesn't really make for the fact that show seems to be more adult for literally no reason other then being more adult which is never a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then even tho Peacock have released the first three episodes of this show i've just to watch only the first episode. This is simply because the pacing for the first episode was bad that I didn't want to watch the other two episodes which shouldn't ever be the case at all since the first episode of any show is always designed to make you to want to watch the second episode and the very freaking first freaking episode to this freaking just didn't do that for me despite ending on a pretty freaking cliffhanger in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this first episode had / has a grand total running time of exactly fifty minuets and twenty nine seconds. Which is such a long time for this shows first episode since you don't really have to set up the plot of the show since thanks to the original show we already know what the plot of this show is since it's the exact same plotline and so all you have to do is setup and the world that this show takes place in and the characters that live within it and you could've very easily have done all of that within forty yo forty to perhaps even fifty minuets in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then since this show is a drama show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. I say that because in this episode at least the drama is balanced very well with the more light hearted comedy moments that in this episode and the drama in this episode was genuinely very well done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this show does seem to be off to a pretty bad start but you know who knows the show could get better from here on out but on the flip side of that the this show could also get alot freaking worse from here on out as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this post now then even tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the freaking show in question.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air fandom wiki page , the official Bel-Air fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Bel-Air fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Bel-Air fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Bel-Air fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Bel-Air are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
