Bel-Air | Will Confronts His Father for Leaving Him

Watch Bel-Air Streaming Now on Peacock: pck.tv/33jMKRk
Will's father (Marlon Wayans) makes a surprise appearance when he shows up unexpectedly and exposes a long-buried secret after telling the truth about where he's been. His visit only brings hurt and pain for Will (Jabari Banks). (Season 1 Episode 10).
Synopsis: Set in modern-day America, Peacock’s new one-hour drama series Bel-Air imagines the beloved sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 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 two worlds collide, Will 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.
Executive produced by Will Smith, and inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral trailer that reimagined the iconic, culture-defining ‘90s sitcom, Bel-Air takes a fresh and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will’s complex journey through a current lens. The new series features an ensemble cast that introduces Jabari Banks as Will and a creative team that includes Cooper, who serves as director, co-writer, and executive producer, and co-showrunners and executive producers T.J. Brady and Rasheed Newson.

I really hope that they do things different with the father's storyline. Technically speaking, we are only getting one point of view of the events; the mother's. It would be interesting to see if the father's character was wrongly perceived.

[@Joela393]

no way you’re sympathizing with the father

[@lunarmemo]

@@Joela393 No ma'am. I am not sympathizing with the father, nor am I throwing him to the wind. I would like to see if they do something different with the storyline and show a different point of view of the events.

[@mykealnorth9058]

Im a child of divorce. And I have to say, one of the best things I could’ve done was ask my father HIS side of the story when I was 18. My fathers name was dragged through the mud my entire life and something about it never quite sat right or made sense to me. So when I asked him his side of the story, he explained himself, with no malice, no insults or disrespect to my mom, KNOWING ALL the stuff she said about him my entire life. And he allowed me to piece things together on my own. I already loved and respected him, but it went to a whole new level after that. I still loved and respected my mother, but I did have a bit of resentment towards her for telling the side of the story that made always her the victim, because surprise surprise, my worst relationship, was with a woman who did that very same thing and my mom knew IMMEDIATELY that’s who she was. So it was all pretty cyclical.

Man.... kudos to Marlon's acting man. I didn't know he could become a serious actor like that. He should've ditched comedy and done this a long time ago. The guy is talented.

[@nltk93]

Will Smith did a great job in his scene and i wasn't expecting much from this but Marlon really delivered.

[@RoyalFurryFist]

Lou may have been irresponsible but his explanation on what happened between him and Will's mother does happen in real life relationships nowadays. Money do be ruining relationships tho. Not fair for a woman becoming a nagging drill sergeant demanding her man to make more money because someone else is doing better. Especially when she was cool with it before the envy. That is the only angle that I agree with Lou on.

[@karaokekingskingdom]

Will also went off on him emotionally...absent or not, you don't disrespect your elders like that. He should've got clapped regardless just for that. The outbust when he left in the first was far more realistic...

[@kievonJSmoothSoul]

@@karaokekingskingdom this is also realistic but a true representation of how wrong today's kids are

[@willigagbob8243]

It definitely makes you feel more sympathetic for him than the original, but he still has to face how he made Will suffer because of it all. I really like that.

Powerful scenes, the father had to check himself and fall way back & humble himself.

Lawd the way this scene isn't talked enough about. The moment he corrected himself to say "Phil started getting rich" I knew what was up in him and Will's mom relationship.

I think it says something where the sitcom version handled this in a more dramatic way.

[@Jazzyruf]

Im so used to seeing Marlon Wayans do comedy but this is phenomenal acting right here

[@Ruben-GG]

I like this version, really dramatises the whole scene. But I also like the original slow build up to Will's realisation and subsequent rage that his father was always a chump. Which is punctuated by the aggressively warm embrace he shares with Uncle Phil.

[@greatestnitemare6626]

This version is awful

Marlon Wayans is hilarious when he got emotional😂💀because I’m so used to him playing comedy goofy acting roles

Will smith should’ve played the father. Allowing an actor of his caliber to play that role decades after being on the other end would’ve been full circle
