A successful black management consultant with a crazy ex-wife, gender-curious kid and post-Jungian psychologist father? This could only be the stuff of Showtime. Elvis joins House of Lies creator Matthew Carnahan and star Don Cheadle for an in-depth discussion on the show that everyone is talking about. As they wrap up Season One, Carnahan and Cheadle discuss how the project came to be, how they deal with questions on their depiction of race and gender, and what they have in mind for Season Two.
