Reused character names, poor casting, wooden acting plus predictable messaging, add in a pinch of "wish I'd thought of empire, let's try to copy it" and you have this show.
That's the best I can say about this. It's not unique ot good enough on its own, it's like a bad copy of something great and the promise of a show you alresdy know and love. Ketchup and ice cream. Doesn't work together, yeech.
Maybe they meant to make a nightmare version of a show that was wonderful. I dunno, this show doesn't make sense why it exists. I can only guess no one wanted to pick this up when it was sold as it's own story so they said "wait I've got another show idea, irs reboot of the fresh prince!" And they just green lit the same terrible idea without looking. Because that's only reason I can imagine this was made. Should have dropped the tacted on reboot angle and just made this Diet Coke empire. This formula doesn't work.
