Reintroducing Charlie

The name “Charlie Sheen” is synonymous with sex, booze and drugs. There weren’t that many differences between his character on the CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men, Charlie Harper, who was a rich jingle writer, whose personal life was based on perpetual hedonism. Some have dismissed Sheen as a total train wreck but, in my experience, humans are far too complex to be definitively defined as the lost cause. As long as they’re alive, there’s always a possibility of being, however imperfect it may be. Charlie Sheen’s proof of that, and a new Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen explores Sheen’s life as well as the insanity of addiction.
