A re-imagination of the beloved sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" set in modern-day America through a new, dramatic take on Will's complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel Air. As these worlds collide, he reckons with the power of second chances while navigating the conflicts, emotions and biases of a world far different from the only one he's ever known.

As with Season 1, “Bel-Air” and its main cast remain charming and engaging enough to captivate an audience. So, while the show’s novelty has worn off, its welcome has not.

B+

The series has stood out against the vast selection of nostalgic reboots by taking the themes and heart of the original series and building a world that can stand on its own as a solid dramatic series.

The dark reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air resists Euphoria-like provocation and grit, and now feels like a classic CW teen drama of the early aughts—in the best way.

Bel-Air continues finding ways to put some heart into first-world problems that can get unbearably corny in other shows.

This season of Bel-Air addresses a lot of things that are going on with black issues, and does it in a bold way.

Bel Air Season 2 gets everything right that is amazing about Season 1 but brings it up a notch. When it comes to the drama, it is much more intense as we dive more into the conflicts of other characters like Jeffrey, and even see Carlton deal more with his anxiety and drug addiction. Not only that but with this new plot with Will that involves him joining Zenith, it just creates a much better structured plot and conflict than what we got in Season 1. Jabari Banks is an actor that I can see being a superstar once he branches out to other projects. I also can't think of any plots that I didn't find interesting in this season. I think the only issues I felt was the shift between episodes, more specifically the family reunion that just happened randomly and unexpectedly midseason. I felt it was a weird change in flow of the story. I also wish we got more of Will's mom in this season and she could've been used a bit more besides the last episode. Overall, Bel Air continues to satisfy my need for dramatic stories with compelling and interesting conflicts, but also the show shines with heart and emotion throughout and continues to make you care for each and everyone within the story. This season is just charming, intense, and sends a lot of great messages. Excellence is Everywhere. A+
