Plot

In what often is described as the dark version of the 90s hit sitcom, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” we do, in fact, witness a stripped-down version of the iconic series. Gone is the studio audience, and while there are still comedic moments, the seriousness of the situations Will and his family are in aren’t played down. Whether it is the threat to Will’s life in Philly, Aunt Viv, and Uncle Phil sometimes having marital problems, Carlton dealing with being a Black man trying to acclimate to a predominately White area, and the list goes on.

When it comes to “Bel-Air” we see the life lived when you can’t laugh to keep from crying, but simply have to soldier on.
