Winston Duke (Black Panther, Us) has been tapped as the lead in Swagger, Apple’s new basketball-themed drama series from NBA superstar Kevin Durant and his Thirty Five Ventures, Shots Fired co-creator Reggie Rock Bythewood, Imagine Television Studios and CBS TV Studios, where Imagine TV has a first-look deal.
Swagger is inspired by Durant’s youth basketball experiences. It explores the world of youth basketball, and the players, their families and coaches who walk the fine line between dreams and ambition, and opportunism and corruption.
MacDailyNews Take: Another potential hit from what will soon be known as the hit-laden Apple TV+!
MDN Take is an A.I. now.
Not even that. It’s boilerplate.
Seems artificial. Not so intelligent though. Just another brainless brand sellout site now.
Thanks SJFUH8R.
If it’s human interest, I’m fine; if sitcom, I’m done.
Appel TV + Crap
Not compelling.
Sounds like a super yawn fest or surefire way to induce sleep.
As with most shows, it can be less about the premise and more about the script, the acting and directing. Any of these shows could be huge hits or huge disappointments. Definitely rooting for the former!
