'Bel-Air,' the dramatic reimagining of Will Smith's classic Nineties sitcom 'The Fresh Prince,' doesn't live up to the promise of its viral fake trailer. Alan Sepinwall's review
showrunners TJ Brady and Rasheed Newson, pluslead writer Malcolm Spellman. After a dream sequence meant to evoke the imagery of Will Smith on a throne from the sitcom’s opening credits, Teamquickly moves to ground their story in a grittier reality.
Stepping into Will Smith’s footsteps, even in a more dramatic context, is no easy task, but Jabari Banks acquits himself very well, popping off the screen in a way that supports Will’s stardom in his old neighborhood as well as his ability to win over so many people in the new one, despite the open hostility and scheming of Carlton.
