When a fan ( Theo Rossi) gets involved, things get even uglier, and way cloudier in terms of what Hart and creator Eric Newman (“Narcos”) think they’re saying about the dynamic between celebrities and those who love them the most. It doesn’t help that Kid can’t really go to his regular support team, including manager Todd ( Paul Adelstein), bodyguard Herschel ( William Catlett), and writer Billie ( Tawny Newsome), or that he’s dealing with a public and messy divorce.
Ari has some sociopathic brothers ( John Ales and Chris Diamontopoulos) who get involved as “True Story” mostly consists of Carlton and Kid trying to clean up messes and making bigger ones in the process. He calls a fixer named Ari (a very fun Billy Zane) to clean up the mess, but, of course, nothing goes as planned.
That’s where the trouble starts as Carlton pushes Kid off the sobriety wagon, and the celebrity wakes up next to the body of a dead woman after a night of partying.Ĭarlton knows what to do. Carlton and Kid have had conflicts in the past (again, like Hart and his real brother) but seem to be getting along now, even if the older brother demands he have a “V.V.I.P. The typically likable Hart attempts a change of pace here as the Kid, a Philly-raised stand-up (like Hart) who returns to his hometown for a show and reunites with his troublesome brother Carlton ( Wesley Snipes, so consistently the most interesting thing about this show that he almost makes it worth watching on his own).
