And then did it again with New Edition member-turned-superstar Bobby Brown’s messy and mesmerizing solo story. We’ll wrap it up with our thoughts on the best of the bad TV biopics (Britney Ever After!) and the best upcoming biopics (My Dinner with Hervé, starring Peter Dinklage; and The Front Runner starring Hugh Jackman).
