Anyone bothering with this? Only watched the pilot. Seems a bit Bluths v Trumps v Murdochs.
I’ll watch it because some of the characters seem ridiculous and it’s got Brian Cox in it, but it feels like the sort of thing that’s been overdone already, and it’s got the guy from Spooks in.
It’s had a few good write ups and there’s a lot of billboards and TV ads for it. I honestly can’t think of anything less appealing, could someone here please take the plunge?
My gut feeling is it’s not been very well cast, isn’t original, there’s going to be no subtle development of characters, and is heavily relying on the lead, but having said that, people get sniffy about things that are in reality very good just not par by the standards of the last few years.
Boss with Kelsey Grammar’s a good example. In any other era that’s critically acclaimed.
Rewatched season 1 over the last couple of weeks, and got up to date with season 2 tonight. Most recent episode was wild, really high standard so far this season.
