To the casual observer, James, Duncan, Brody and Karl are kings of the world, power players who move and shake with the best of them. It's only when they're alone together that these closeknit and dysfunctional pals let down their guards, sharing secrets and seeking advice on how to cope with their challenges - chiefly, the women in their lives.
Big Shots — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A smug, sleazy exposé on masculinity and wealth brought to half-life by a disjointed cast, Big Shots aims low and doesn't make a dent.
