Description:

FULL STORY
======================================================================

If you loved Donald Glover's Atlanta , Netflix may have just the 
genre-bending show for you: The Vince Staples Show , which comes to the 
streamer the day after Valentine's Day, looks to be exactly the kind of weird 
show we love to see. 

As you'll see from the trailer, a lot seems to be happening in Staples' life. 
When his girlfriend asks him how his day has gone, flashbacks show him 
getting bailed out of jail, hating on a mascot, getting yelled at by a fast 
food worker, dodging bullets and getting recognised during a bank robbery. 

So who exactly is Vince Staples? You may know the Long Beach rapper for his 
music and collaboration with Odd Future, but according to Netflix there's 
even more: "Hes kind of famous, but hes not. Hes kind of rich, but hes not. 
Hes also kind of a criminal. But hesnot?" Stop us if you've heard this one 
before 

A reality-warping, self-aware scripted show with a rapper at the centre? Of 
course it's going to make you think of Atlanta . But The Vince Staples Show 
looks like it has more in common with another show, the... Vince Staples Show 
.. That was a short-lived show made for Facebook in 2019. However, the Netflix 
version looks to be bigger, bolder and a lot weirder. 

The Netflix show will be five episodes, and it's a Limited Series which is 
Netflix-speak for there being no plans to make any more episodes just yet. 
The cast includes Vanessa Bell Calloway ( This Is Us, Coming To America ) and 
Andrea Ellsworth ( #BlackAF, Gentefied ) in recurring roles, and there will 
also be appearances by Nat Jones, Arturo Castro, Scott MacArthur, Bryan 
Greenberg and Myles Bullock. 

For now, all we have to go on is the trailer and on that basis this looks 
like it's going to be an enormously entertaining watch on the best streaming 
service . We'll find out for sure on February 15 when The Vince Staples Show 
becomes available to stream. You might also like Netflix might drop its movie
