There’s probably a group of popular kids and a group of outcasts that are nerdy, but in a way that’s usually not quite accurate.

Though there is no shortage of remakes thatfail to capture the spark of the original work, there are none that are quite likeBel-Air. Drawing from the broad narrative beats of the 90s sitcomThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, though without any of its charm or wit, the first season increasingly bordered on being a parody of itself.
