The life story of Richard Pryor (1940-2005), the legendary performer and iconic social satirist who transcended racial and social barriers with his honest, irreverent and biting humor.
From the start it makes itself clear that it's going to be serious and dramatic...and it's Richard Pryor, a comedic legend. He had a troubled life, everyone that's a fan knows it. But, I guess I was thinking that they were going to cover the good parts of his life, I thought they were going to cover more of the comedy. It was depressing and, well, you see a name like Richard Pryor and you expect to laugh and instead it makes you cry. That's not how I want to remember him, and honestly, I don't think that's how he would want to be remembered.
