GazerRise Fantastic!
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
mcochran-03333 Great acting, good writing. At times wanders but as a hole fun show I look forward to each season. Bring on the next
insideout098 I just finished the first season and have to say the entire arc was beautifully concluded with "The Conversation," which, beyond question, is the masterpiece of the entire first run. I won't give anything specific away, but my general observations are, nonetheless, that "Chuck" and Wendy are about the least likely couple on the planet. How my suspension of disbelief isn't fractured beyond repair is shocking in and of itself. This portly, pallid, hairy and under-compensated behemoth of a civil servant with a sadomasochist streak of submissiveness, is actually married to this totally hot, super wealthy closet dominatrix who works for his arch enemy is beyond any stretch of anyone's imagination this side of Pluto. I can't even look at them together without my finger on the fast-forward key. It's rough, man. This aside, the rest of the cast more of less works, particularly "Bobby" and his pit bull wife, Lara who together make a plausible Bonnie and Clyde. So the show is about a hedge fund guy who started his own firm on the back of 911, using the loss of his fellow employees as a means to an end. Again, I'll let you watch it for yourself. Bobby is always in the gray to darker gray zones of the law, but always man ages to come across as a good guy to the people around him, making one richer then the next. He is ruthless and arguably a sociopath like many in his field,but on a fundamental level has the capacity to feel, to empathize, to love. I find myself rooting for him time and time again at the same time realizing I'm rooting for a guy who should be behind bars. In this sense, what makes the show interesting to me is the seductiveness of Bobby and his world of excess. I found myself questioning whether or not i wouldn't take a job with the guy if I were on the receiving end of one of his offers. The show beats down hard on the lowly civil servant as it juxtaposes the excesses of the filthy rich and powerful against the backdrop of these well-educated, yet miserably compensated public servants who often find themselves amidst the trappings of a world they will never experience for themselves. This alone becomes the sort of crucible under which they conduct their professional lives and carves a razor sharp blade of focused objectives to come across as going just beyond their "jobs." In the end, I don't know who to root for because the alternative to Bobby is pretty bleak. Enjoy the ride.
ninasimone2018 There are not many shows that keep surprising you like this one. the genius script allows for fluid characters that keep changing strategies in such way the enemies become friends and the honorable ones become the deceitful ones. likable characters become unlikable and visa versa. cant wait for season five.
clinttribble The entire show is utterly brilliant top to bottom, and without any doubt in my mind the best television show in history behind Breaking Bad.But, alas, some people just want to find a reason to complain. There are many spurious complaints about Season 3, but the season holds up well, ratchets up the intensity and delivers in spades. The complaints I've seen are so silly and stretched, I swear there are a contingent of viewers of any show who simply need to whine and throw shade because their own lives are so sad and pathetic. If there is one gripe, it is S3 / Episode 7 -- which ironically has a 9.1 high rating here -- because it ties up so many loose ends almost too quickly and conveniently. They might have needed two episodes for all of the things that happened, and how easily it all happened needed to be fleshed out a bit longer.I found some of the earlier episodes in Season 3 a bit more compelling and I enjoyed Taylor's romance subplot.
