The beauty of the show is how it balances darkness with levity (did anyone actually think Trevor’s death was tragic?). The class commentary is sophisticated and brutally honest, especially for a comedy. Will’s antics brought to light issues like racial profiling and representation (“ Father Knows Best”) when they weren’t part of mainstream discussion. James Avery’s Uncle Phil was such a powerful father figure that he gave a young J. The show may be anchored by Will Smith’s once-in-a-generation charisma- but the rest of the cast are no slouches.
