When people who didn’t come from the hood create a story about life in the hood, that’s how you end up with this monstrosity. A caricature of the original Good Times and an offensive parody of urban Black life. This is garbage. https://t.co/vPYR8tBhev

I think Darvio may be too kind here. My reaction to this was similar to the audience reaction in the original film "The Producers" to the musical number "Springtime for Hitler." My jaw was hanging open.
Of course, I'm not the target audience for this, but I used to watch the original "Good Times" back in the day. And it treated the family with a lot more care and respect than this trailer does. YMMV, though, so leave your reactions in the comments.
