no, not the lottery prize, the new show on Showtime. The premier episode was very enjoyable. Damien Lewis vs Paul Giamatti. Good stuff.

[Mainliner II]

Good first show.......looks like a winner.

Bump. Caught up on the first 2 episodes. Ok, not great. Some of the dialogue is a bit campy and forced. Paul Giamatti's character is too scatterbrained. He's this politically connected US Atty from a wealthy family with a place in the Hamptons, but he curses and eats Chinese food off of paper plates with the ausa's like he's some blue collar self made man. Doesn't jive at all. They should have made him a hardscrabble guy from the Bronx or something.

Overall, 5/10 so far because they could have done so much more with the subject matter. I will keep watching, because theres nothing else on right now, and because they will show more boobs.

From Andrew Ross Sorkin??? GTFO!

 

[gldendog]

It's good. Not great. But good. Worth a watch.

 

[Bethlehem Steel]

Are the redemption qualities worth the subscription?

This seems to be almost petty but you're the law-talkin' guy; I will watch and report back.

The problem with Damian Lewis is he contorts his face in such a weird way when trying to speak the American accent. Ruined Homeland for me.

Every season after 1 did it for me.

They need to start amping up the tension on this show before I bail. A lot of character building going on, just not much in the way of interesting characters outside of the 2 leads. Guy I went to HS with actually was on the ep tonight. Catching a box of Yum Time pies at Axe Capital.

 

[Villanova U]

That must be some high school.

My only claim to fame is that the Bruce Jenner mummer is one of my best friends. Does this count?

[SameSmallGroup]

while MWG is busy living it, is anyone watching? Has anyone done bodysushi??

 

[gldendog]

Show is great. Will watch tmrw. Too much sh*t was on tonight obviously.

 

[NickleDimer]

Is the Rock in it?

 

[tomdudes]

I am couple weeks behind, so I will have to catch up this week. Keeping my interest so far.

 

[nardibynature2]

I have found the legal side aspect a lot more interesting than the finance side.

 

[BigEastBasketball]

This show blows. I bailed 2 weeks ago because I just couldn't stand it anymore.

 

[gldendog]

The content of the show isn't that great, but the acting is quite good. That and I want to plow the shit out of Maggie Siff. Yeah I'll keep watching.

 

[tomdudes]

Plot lines are exaggerated but the characters are keeping me watching.

 

[Mr. Wade Garrett]

This show sucks. So cheesy.

That said, i will watch in bulk as i no longer have a job.

 

[Novacatt94]

Liked it, watched it, but there is too much overacting, especially by the lead characters.
