THE first four episodes of historical surrealist comedy drama Government Cheese are out now on Apple TV+, and will be followed by a weekly release until May 28.
Set in 1969, the show revolves around Hampton Chambers (David Oyelowo), a convicted burglar who returns to his Los Angeles home after being released from prison.
As he reunites with his family, Hampton tries to start over by inventing the ‘Bit Magician’, a self-sharpening power drill.
However, there are complications to navigate - the unconventional structure of his family formed in his absence, his past, encounters with dangerous figures, and even divine intervention.
Actor David revealed in an interview that he felt drawn to portray Hampton due to the character being incredibly flawed yet relatable.
“I think all of us can understand and relate to the idea of wanting to be better, but constantly failing at doing that,” he said.
