Mr. Corman (Apple TV+) - created by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt - premieres 8/6/21
With better luck, choices, or posture, Josh Corman could’ve been a rock star. Now he teaches fifth grade, and struggles to find happiness and meaning in a world that sometimes feels short on both. Watch Mr. Corman, premiering August 6 on Apple TV+.
From writer, director, executive producer, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("500 Days of Summer,” “Inception,” “Don Jon”), "Mr. Corman" follows the days and nights of Josh Corman, an artist at heart but not by trade. Things haven’t been going his way lately – his lifelong dream of a career in music didn't pan out and he finds himself teaching fifth grade at a school in the San Fernando Valley, his ex-fiancé Megan has moved out and his high school buddy has moved in. Aware that he still has a lot to be thankful for, Josh struggles nevertheless through universal feelings of anxiety, loneliness and self-doubt. Darkly funny, oddly beautiful and deeply heartfelt, this relatable comedy-drama speaks for our contemporary generation of 30-somethings – rich with good intentions, poor with student loans and working to become grown-ups sometime before they’re senior citizens.
PRINCIPAL CAST INFORMATION:
· Alexander Jo
· Arturo Castro as Victor
· Bobby "Logic" Hall
· Debra Winger
· Hector Hernandez
· Jamie Chung
· Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Josh Corman
· Juno Temple
· Shannon Woodward
CREW INFORMATION:
· Bruce Eric Kaplan as EP

Knocked out the two episodes up and LOVED both. It's an organic and thoughtful character study with warmth and brevity.

^ very well said. Also, some dry and dark humor. JGL can do anything in my book.

Pretty good show so far if you're a fan of JGL. 2nd episode was better than the first.
He plays this character a lot though. The Night Before is a favorite of mine to watch during Christmas and he's basically the same guy. 30 something who's depressed and feels like he hasn't accomplished anything.

I didn't care for last nights episode, but the previous two were great.

Late for this but it was not bad though the finale was kind of underwhelming
Maybe they could have waited and filmed that episode after the pandemic so it was not just a zoom date.

When I saw the thread title, I was hoping it was about Roger Corman...
