We Need To Talk About Cosby is a four-part docuseries on how “America’s Dad” was an alleged sexual predator. Comedians, journalists, and Cosby survivors sit down to have a conversation about the man whose reputation seemingly changed overnight.

The first episode premiered Sunday (Jan. 30) on Showtime as the description for the premiere reads:

“In the 1960s Cosby is collecting accolades for his comedy, breaking barriers for Black stunt performers and finding his own ways of participating in the nation’s sexual liberation and civil rights movement. All the while, he allegedly begins exploiting his power. How do we reconcile everything we knew and loved about Bill Cosby with what we now know?”

This episode will be followed by three more airing live on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET on Feb. 6, Feb. 13, and concluding on Feb. 20. However, if you can’t wait to watch the episodes live, all four are available to stream with a Showtime subscription.

  Watched #WeNeedToTalkAboutCosby series today.
  Episode 4 is so powerful as survivors speak out. About coming forward, their fight against Statute of Limitations, what they did to get them lifted.
  And what rape survivors go through in court.
  A must watch.https://t.co/GEl4SAZj1F

  In the We Need to Talk About Cosby trailer, they keep calling the situation “complicated.” To me, it’s pretty simple. He was sexually assaulting women. Why is it complicated? Because we loved/admired him? Because we thought we knew him? We didn’t.

  The editing for We Need to Talk About Cosby is phenomenal. I can’t even imagine the amount of time and dedication it took doing all this research.

  We Need to Talk About Cosby gently suggests that we all should do a better job at separating the art from the artist — a separation that might help us spot wrongdoing in front of our faces and feel empowered to speak up when we do. https://t.co/thuEA1q5kY
