This week’s release The series was penned by Eric Newman — a veteran of another little Netflix series you might have heard of, called Narcos. This one might also call to mind a bit of HBO Max’s Flight Attendant. Both of these stories have a protagonist who wakes up next a dead person. They don’t know what happened and it only gets worse. This is all to say for all the dramedies we know Hart for. The motivation for this series was to show that Hart still has another side to him that most people haven’t seen. “When it’s all said and done with me and my career,”Hart spoke. The New York Times, “people are going to realize that I’ve checked every box. This is just to simply show, I got that. This is in my bag.”
