The Crew with Kevin James – Available on Netflix (10 episodes)
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF NASCAR
The Crew debuts on Netflix this Monday, February 15. Although broadcast internationally on the platform, this series seems to have been designed primarily for the American public. Its main performer Kevin James is mainly known on the other side of the Atlantic for his participation in many comedies by Adam Sandler; most of his films remain, however, mostly unseen in France. As for the subject of the series, NASCAR races, they remain above all popular with American viewers, except for an audience specializing in motorsports.
Backstage side, The Crew is created by Jeff Lowell, author of scripts for iconic sitcoms like Spin City, My uncle Charlie or The George Carlin Show; A veteran of American television, the screenwriter takes again in their entirety the codes of American comedy, while transposing his intrigue of office life in a car garage (as had been able to do, all proportions kept, the cult Taxi at his time).
In addition to Kevin James, in his element as an abandoned but nonetheless benevolent father, we find at his side another well-known face of American television, Gary Anthony Williams, known to fans of the Malcolm series for his role of Abe (the Stevie’s daddy hen). Finally, Dan Ahdoot (Cobra Kai), Sarah Stiles (Trillions) and Freddie Stroma (Cormac McLaggen in the saga Harry potter) complete the cast of this family sitcom to discover today on Netflix.
