Matt Roush says...
A new season of the docuseries that explores the tragedy lurking behind a comic façade returns with a profile of one of the masters: Robin Williams. The episode celebrates his quicksilver genius, first popularized on TV in Mork and Mindy with movies and classic stand-up showcases to follow. Friends and fellow comics recall his brilliance, illustrated in vintage footage. But Williams also struggled with alcoholism, drug addiction and depression, and in 2014, unaware he was suffering from Lewy body dementia, he died by suicide. None of which lessens the enduring appeal of the joy he displayed at his improvisational, soul-baring best.
