The seven-episode drama revolves around two brothers, one of them a movie star and stand-up comic whose life goes into a downward spiral.
Hart plays Kid, a rising comic star seemingly at the top of the world. His new superhero movie is nearing a billion dollars at the box office. A sold-out stand-up tour is about to kick off in his hometown, Philadelphia. Everywhere he goes, people love him.
Not everything is perfect for Kid, mind you. He’s a recovering addict going through a very public divorce, and any return to Philadelphia means a reunion with his older brother, Carlton , who brings trouble and escalating debt with him wherever he goes. Fortunately, Kid’s powerhouse team — manager Todd , bodyguard Herschel and punch-up writer Billie — is experienced at cleaning up his messes. Of course, when he wakes up after a night of partying next to a dead woman, Kid is in over his head.
To be clear: Despite the title of this show, Kevin Hart has never woken up in bed next to a dead woman, at least so far as we know, but he is a Philadelphia-raised movie star and arena-packing stand-up comic whose older brother led a troubled life, leading to conflict between the pair .
It’s possible that Hart loves the myriad responsibilities of stardom — the annoying “team” conference calls, the banal interviews with radio DJs, the schedule-clogging photo shoots and preparatory busywork. Kid, however, hates them and whines about them for seven episodes. It’s also possible that Hart loves his fans and appreciates their devotion. Kid, however, absolutely thinks that fans are there to be unquestioning consumers, best seen through box office receipts.
But yes, being a celebrity is tough and we should all cut celebrities slack when they do little dumb things like make homophobic jokes on Twitter, because we don’t know what they’re dealing with in their lives.has another theme, it relates to Carlton’s insecurity and his conviction that he was meant for bigger things but, instead, got stuck in Kid’s shadow.
