The series explores the complex story of Cosby&#8217;s life and work, weighing his actions against his indisputable global influence through interviews with comedians, cultural commentators, journalists, and women who share their most personal, harrowing encounters with Cosby. Through archival footage, Cosby reveals who he may have been all along &#8211; the antithesis of the principled, public figure who became a hero, not only to African American people but to all people.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2023449119\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The four-parter sheds new light on Cosby&#8217;s cultural contributions and impact at the height of his disgrace &#8211; accused of rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, and other misconduct by more than 60 women as far back as nearly 60 years. Bell, who grew up idolizing Cosby, unpacks how Cosby&#8217;s desire for power, which propelled his professional success, could be the same driving force that motivated his alleged crimes against women. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT COSBY peels back complex layers, portraying the genius performer, philanthropist, and role model, contrasted by the accused sexual predator that now defines him. It offers viewers the chance to reconsider Cosby&#8217;s mark in a society where rape culture, toxic masculinity, capitalism, and white supremacy are shaping how we re-evaluate sex, power, and agency.<\/p>\n<p>WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT COSBY is a Boardwalk Pictures Production in association with WKB Industries for SHOWTIME, directed by W. Kamau Bell. The series is executive produced by Bell, Andrew Fried, Katie A. King, Dane Lillegard, Jordan Wynn, and Sarina Roma. King also serves as showrunner and Geraldine Porras serves as a co-executive producer.<\/p>\n<p>\r\n      <table id=\"tmdb-pro\">\r\n        <tbody>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td class=\"tmdb-pro-poster\" width=\"20%\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w300_and_h450_bestv2\/\/jaQq8yngDA1pnMRcFcxfq6Hhrop.jpg\"><\/td>\r\n            <td>\r\n              <h3><b>We Need to Talk About Cosby<\/b><\/h3>\r\n            <\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr><td><span><b>Network:<\/b> Showtime<\/span><span><b>Genre:<\/b> Documentary<\/span><span><b>Seasons:<\/b> 1<\/span><span><b>Episodes:<\/b> 4<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><h5><b>Overview<\/b><\/h5><p>During his nearly 50 years in show business, Bill Cosby became one of America&#039;s most recognizable black celebrities: his career was a model of excellence for millions of Americans, until the painful testimonies of dozens of women uncovered the sinister grimace behind the smile of the so-called America&#039;s dad.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\r\n        <\/tbody>\r\n      <\/table>  \r\n    <br \/>\n<div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-26535\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25983\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb.jpg\" alt=\"Powered by TMDB.org\" width=\"250\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb.jpg 353w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb-350x74.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: .4em;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; font: normal 8pt Arial;\">TV &amp; Movie information has been provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\">themoviedb.org<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SHOWTIME released the official trailer for the upcoming four-part docuseries WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT COSBY, from Emmy-winning director W.
