Kingpin Katie(2019)

Kingpin Katie is a dark comedy series following Katie Marovitch, a struggling comedy writer who stumbles into the drug trade with disastrous results. Inspired by the rise-and-fall narrative of Breaking Bad, the show mines humor from Katie's complete incompetence as she attempts to build a cocaine empire. What unfolds is a darkly funny origin story that subverts the antihero formula—instead of a calculated criminal mastermind, viewers get a hapless amateur whose ambitions constantly collide with reality. The series balances sharp comedic writing with genuine stakes, creating a tone that's both irreverent and surprisingly grounded. Katie's journey from creative burnout to accidental drug dealer forms the backbone of a show that asks what happens when an ordinary person with big dreams enters a world they're wholly unprepared for.
