Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson star in new Apple TV+ sitcom Brothers
Actors Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have released a new self-referential comedy series titled Brothers on the streaming service Apple TV+.
Plot centers on fictionalized versions of stars
The show features characters based on the real-life friendship between the two actors. One character attempts to avoid his family while dealing with a collapsed engagement. He then travels by bus to visit his friend in Texas.
Series compares itself to past collaborations
The narrative draws parallels to their earlier work on the crime drama True Detective. Critics note the scripts focus heavily on bickering and farce rather than deep storytelling. The production aims to explore themes of family and friendship through these exaggerated personas.
