Summary

For decades, he was an A-list entertainer who projected an image of wholesomeness. But the public was shocked to learn of Bill Cosby’s dark double life - one in which the so-called “America’s Dad” was drugging and raping women for years. The four-part Showtime series “We Need to Talk About Cosby” examines all aspects of Cosby’s life - both as a trailblazer and beloved entertainer and as a felon. W. Kamau Bell provides a platform for some of his many victims. He also turns the mirror on the Black community and those who grew up watching Cosby to ask why they have conflicted feelings about his legacy.
