📺 Mr. Corman is not your typical comedy — it’s a moody, introspective dive into the life of a man who feels like he missed his shot. Written, directed, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the show explores anxiety, disappointment, and the everyday struggles of an aging millennial who once dreamed big but ended up somewhere far more ordinary.
The gist: Josh Corman (Gordon-Levitt) is a former musician-turned-teacher who can’t shake the feeling that life hasn’t shaken out as planned. He lives with his childhood friend Victor (Arturo Castro), plays video games instead of going out, and wrestles with a constant stream of “what ifs.” His mother (Debra Winger) encourages him to move on, but Josh is stuck in his own head.
It gets worse… A failed one-night stand, an awkward night out, and mounting anxiety attacks make it clear — he’s not just unhappy, he’s spiraling. We then venture through the experiences driving inner turmoil.
Should you watch it? The film does a good job of portraying the weight of modern existential dread, but whether it’s enjoyable depends on your appetite for watching someone wallow in it.
