Netflix has dropped the first trailer for its animated series version of the iconic sitcom Good Times, with this project being set in the present and focusing on a new generation of the Evans family.

It turns out the more things change the more they stay the same and keeping your head above water in a system with its knee on your neck is as challenging as ever. The only thing tougher than life is love, but in this family there’s more than enough to go around.
