Government Cheese, which recently premiered on Apple TV+, is a surrealist comedy-drama series set in 1969. The series follows Hampton Chambers (David Oyelowo), a convicted burglar who is released from prison and returns to his home in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. Hampton reunites with his family and attempts to start over by inventing the "Bit Magician," a self-sharpening power drill. However, the unconventional structure the Chambers family, including his wife, Astoria, and his sons, Einstein (Evan Ellison) and Harrison (Jahi Di’Allo Winston), formed in his absence, complicates matters.

The series also stars Bokeem Woodbine as Bootsy, Hampton's childhood friend and former partner in crime, who operates on his own unique moral code and plays a significant role in Hampton's attempts to carry out one last heist, adding more complexity to his attempts to rebuild his life.

Woodbine recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the series.
