About
"Ambition, glitter, and betrayal curdling into crime"
This limited series traces the true story of Somen "Steve" Banerjee, an Indian immigrant who built the Chippendales male-stripping empire in 1980s LA, and the jealousy and paranoia that curdled his success into crime. It plays as a slow-burn tragedy dressed in sequins and neon, mixing camp spectacle with real menace. Kumail Nanjiani anchors it with a performance far darker than his usual comedic register, while the show examines ambition, race, and exclusion in America. It's stylish and unsettling more than fun, building dread steadily rather than delivering pure escapist entertainment.
Kumail Nanjiani's unexpectedly chilling performance as a man undone by his own ambition.
you want breezy, feel-good entertainment rather than a slow descent into paranoia and violence.
