Carlton is clearly bad news from moment one and contributes to that downward spiral, but Snipes manages to bring a gravitas to the role that makes one feel for him, even though - like Kid - he also brings his problems on himself. Kid does fall under the sway of Carlton (Wesley Snipes), the bad-influence older brother who’s both immensely envious and resentful of his younger brother’s success. “True Story” begs for too much empathy for a character who brings nearly all of his problems on himself. (For what it’s worth, Netflix has asked critics not to reveal “any of the specific decisions Kid makes along the way that lead to his downward spiral.” But it’s possible to read between the lines.) That may explain why Kid is so close of a parallel to Hart himself, but the concept doesn’t quite work - and creates the lingering question of why Hart would want to be looked at as someone like Kid. In the same EW interview, Newman said that Hart came to him with a pitch that was essentially, “I want to kill someone,” calling the project “Crazy Kevin.” And so “True Story” was born. ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Review: Netflix’s Live-Action Remake Fails to Capture Original’s Magicįor its seven-episode run, “True Story” raises the question of whether Kid is a sociopath - and based on what Newman told Entertainment Weekly, the answer is yes - but it never actually tries to examine that idea at all.
USHER U GOT IT BAD YOUTUBE SERIES
(Hart may have had a better outing with the Quibi action-comedy series “Die Hart” in terms of challenging the expectations of what he’s known for as an actor.) Hart has been dipping his toes into the dramatic well for a while now, but this story hits so close to home at a time when audiences already have a difficult time separating actors from the roles that they play. The limited series - a seven-episode thriller from “Narcos” and “Narcos: Mexico” writer Eric Newman - follows Hart (who also executive produces) as The Kid, a world-famous comedian whose tour stop in his hometown of Philadelphia (like Hart’s) leads to life-and-death decisions that challenge how far he’s willing to go to protect everything he’s built.Īs Kid regularly shows up on “The Ellen Show” and packs arenas with his stand-up comedy, in between the misguided behavior he engages in over the course of the series, the blurring of reality and fiction with Hart’s real-life persona immediately creates confusing questions about Hart’s decision to tell this specific story. Netflix’s “True Story” strangely feels like Hart’s way of doing the same thing to himself. It does not store any personal data.When Kevin Hart hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the second time, he starred in a sketch about a rapper whose latest track has him snitching on all the members of his crew.
