THE UPSIDE
Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET
Based on the French film Intouchables, this 2019 drama pairs an unlikely duo of actors: Bryan Cranston, playing a wealthy and cranky quadriplegic, and Kevin Hart, playing an ex-con hired to assist him, who ends up offering a new outlook on life. It may sound like a sort of Wheeling Mr. Daisy – but Cranston and Hart, separately and certainly together, deserve a moment of your attention, to see how they’re approaching this American adaptation of the French screenplay. Co-stars include Nicole Kidman, Aja Naomi King, and Julianna Margulies.
