Saw enough when I heard they made Uncle Phil a politician that only picked up Will for optics. They butchered a caring and loving father figure for “everything is shades of grey and gloomy.”
I loved how in the original Uncle Phil let’s Will’s biological dad have it when he lets Will down again. He was a great father figure. Guess you can’t have positive roles
Thankfully, we are in the day and age where current media really does not matter. Pirate/buy on clearance the old stuff on DVD and tell modern media to stuff it.
Wow. I have not heard a single thing about this show that makes it sound good.
In the original Phil was often annoyed by Will but loved him- remember that epic scene when the white cops jailed Will & Carlton while driving the sports car of Phil's partner? One of the lines when he's grilling the cops is him asking if they called their parents and he responded "No, because we're their parents". Not parent and guardian, just parents.
Also I recall Will making a lot of bald jokes at Uncle Phil's expense...
Lots of fat jokes too but Uncle Phil either retorted or gave the mean eye for comedic value. It was a back and forth that some families have that is just fun and games.
I haven’t watched it. Loved the original but I heard enough like making Ashley gay. Plus it’s a modern day show and similar to how I assume any female led show now will endlessly push girl power any modern day show with a majority black cast will push the race narrative over and over
There was actually a fair amount of stuff about race in there- Carlton being mocked for acting "too white", Will & Carlton being arrested after driving too slow in a sports car, etc.
But they also balanced it out. Like how after Aunt Viv got black history being taught in the private school, Will & Carlton treated it like a goof-off class while the white kids were super into it- even doing extra credit stuff.
There weren't a lot of while people in that show (zero of the main cast) but most weren't portrayed as racist.
It’s annoyingly woke but I’ve watched most of it so far. The things that bug me most are Ashley being a lesbian and forcing gay grooming shit into the story for no reason and Will and Cartlons love interest being a chunky girl. No way should the main characters love interest be that fat. The original Fresh Prince wasn’t dating fatties.

Amen!

Will thought he was marrying Uncle Phil.
SPOILER: It sucks.
MORE SPOILERS: It's woke bullshit made by a cuck.
Neither of things are a spoiler at this point.

The original was great. I miss those times when you could just watch a TV show and not everything was about race or sexuality.
Not going to bother with the remake.

I’m just glad the real Uncle Phil isn’t here to see this mess.
Will needs to get robbed again.
