Heather’s Review:
Like most people my age, I grew up watching Bill Cosby. We faithfully watched The Cosby Show every week. I watched Fat Albert. I watched Picture Pages (I still know the words to the theme song). I remember the pudding pop commercials. He was America’s Dad. Until he wasn’t. And even though 60+ women have come forward with allegations, AND he admitted he was drugging women, AND he was convicted in a court of law, it’s still a subject that divides people. This documentary was perfectly made. It highlights Bill Cosby and how he became famous. It highlights the reasons why we all thought we loved him. But it also gives the survivors and the victims the platform to speak their truths. We all should have been talking about it a long time ago. Thank you, Kamau Bell.
I give We Need to Talk About Cosby on Showtime 5 out of 5 stars.
