Is it for me?
Film lovers who would rather watch two actors trade favorite monologues than see a city get saved will be happy here. Ben Kingsley plays Trevor as someone who sincerely loves acting, and the laughs come from how people react to him. Then there is the birthday party in Pacoima, where Trevor tags along and asks Simon's family questions that make everyone wince.
Before you start
Each episode opens with a short flashback, and the early ones take their time with the two men, so the third may feel slower.
1 season, 8 episodes, 33 min each, about 4 hours so far
