The Fresh Prince regularly felt like a drama wrapped in a sitcom’s clothing - especially in later seasons, when the whole “fish out of water”-style story of a West Philly guy making the move to haughty Bel-Air felt far in the rearview. As the Washington Post put it in a review, the show “suck all the joy, exuberance and wondrous charisma out of The Fresh Prince.” For what it’s worth, though, we thought it was pretty good, and a worthwhile fresh take on a show that never really shied away from heavy, dramatic topics. Bel-Air is currently pulling a 60% overall critic rating according to review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. So far, the reception for the series, which premiered on Peacock over the weekend, has been mixed. Bel-Air, the long-awaited dramatic reboot to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, finally made its premiere over the weekend, bringing us a gritty reimagining of one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time.
