Curious to know more about the show, including where you can watch it? Well, here’s everything you need to know about the streaming details of ‘South Side!’
What is South Side About?
After graduating from community college, Simon and Kareme are looking for opportunities to achieve their ambitious entrepreneurial dreams. Unfortunately, they are stuck in dead-end jobs at Rent-T-Own, a retail-rental crossroads in Chicago’s working-class neighborhood of Englewood. Despite the hurdles in their path, the iconic duo is reluctant to give up on their dreams and go to desperate lengths for upward social mobility. However, their hilarious and weak schemes like street-corner popcorn and black market Viagara do not necessarily prove to be the right entrepreneurial idea to help them achieve what they want.
As the story unfolds, Simon and Kareme come with different innovative and investment ideas without knowing that almost all of them have obvious flaws. The second installment features similar drama revolving around Simon and Kareme’s ideas and their investment in the cryptocurrency, Litcoin. The comedic misadventures of the dynamic duo from Chicago’s South Side get more entertaining with each episode.
