It always makes me sick when someone talks while they eat, or breathes loudly out of their mouths. Giammatti does both. I cant even watch those scenes.
I like the scene where they have to explain to Giammatti (aka the dumb viewer) what a prime broker is. Or a short squeeze. He's the US Attorney prosecuting Wall Street.
Aren't you talking about HBO?
Wasnt this cancelled before they even finished one season? Watched the first episode. Sucked balls. Bailed.
The writer (Koppleman) actually sat down with a ton of Wall Street guys to try to get a feel for it. It's definitely dramatized, but that's kind of the style. Season 2 is for sure, I'd think they get a few seasons out of it. Koppleman did Rounders, and is a solid guy.
The show is bullshit. Nobody talks like that.
The only thing i used to say to guys that is real was, "My cholesterol is high enough without you buttering my ass."

Oh cmon MWG. You know you spoke like that. Wore those bankers shirts too. Blue shirt with the white cuffs and collar.
Just finished the series. Honestly havent found anything particularly wrong with what Axelrod did.
They allude to insider trading, but never show it. Dont have a problem with the 9/11 trades. Or the cancer thing.
Also, the show sucks.

Isn't that part of the point? The power hungry US Attorney is willing to do anything in the name of justice but it's really him settling a personal score while furthering his own quest for power. So really he and Bobby are the same person kind of deal?
I think the guys thought they had a gr8 idea (but not enough ammunition for a whole show) so they put in a bunch of filler nonsense. Same with the sister who was the chef.
The dialogue is nails on chalkboard bad at times. Even the ending back and forth. Just cheesy. But it has some good enough story line. It's decent enough but it really really needs to be 2 seasons, 3 max, and just wrap it up. I want a guaranteed ending by 3 if i'm going to commit to season 2.
Vinyl has its issues but I liked it a lot better.

It's a movie about Costco.
