Season two of the drama about the LA Lakers basketball team during its 1980s Magic Johnson (Quincy Isaiah) golden era, known as Showtime, has attracted plenty of criticism from the show’s real-life figures, but it ‘really is a love letter to these characters, to that era,’ insists series showrunner Max Borenstein.
