’Survivor’s Remorse’ Review: Dominic Patten On LeBron James’ New Starz Series

There’s plenty to like about this show that follows a hoops phenom who becomes an instant multimillionare in his early 20s.

Here’s the Two-Minute Drill, Deadline readers: Pete Hammond and Dominic Patten are, for the first time in Deadline’s history, going to review movies and TV shows for us and you. Every day, we’ll have another video review of the shows and movies that matter. In two minutes or less, Pete and Dominic will give you all you need to know about these shows. Today, we feature Dominic’s take on Survivor’s Remorse.

Starz’s new series from executive producer and NBA deity LeBron James is much more than Entourage on the basketball court. Deadline’s Dominic Patten says it’s a funny, topical and cautionary look at how money changes everything for a young phenom who just signed his first big pro contract. And Dominic says to keep an eye on those supporting characters.

Survivor’s Remorse stars Jessie T. Usher, Mike Epps, Tichina Arnold, Teyonah Parris and Erica Ash. It premieres at 9 PM ET on Saturday, October 4, on Starz.
