Mr. Throwback Season 1 - 8.2 - As a fan of both basketball and Steph Curry, I was pleasantly surprised by this comedy. The show is unlike anything I expected when I first hit play. The sitcom-style documentary format caught me off guard but ended up delivering some seriously funny scenes. It's not at all what you'd expect from a show featuring Steph Curry as himself, especially given the dark and edgy humor sprinkled throughout. With just six episodes, each around 30 minutes, it's an easy binge-watch. The humor really hits, especially as the lies pile up, leading to some great laughs. The premise is hilarious: a kid who was once hailed as the best 12-year-old basketball player in the country, and who started over Steph, is later revealed to be a 14-year-old fraud. Fast forward 25 years, and while Steph is, well, Steph, Danny's life is an absolute mess. The mockumentary style fits perfectly, and Danny, despite his awful behavior, remains a lovable idiot you can't help but root for. The "Stephenomics" bit was a highlight for me, it's meant to be a parody, but the points made were so spot-on that they felt almost real. My favorite character, though, has to be Danny's ex-wife, played by Ayden Mayeri. She was hilarious in every scene, her humor providing the perfect counterbalance to Danny's antics. For any basketball fan, this show is a must-watch. It's funny, clever, and features some great performances. Official sundaynightstreaming on instagram rating of 8.2.
