Been laughing at how goofy the previews have looked but I had no idea this was a Jesse Armstrong thing

Premieres tomorrow

I can't prove it, but I really think Adam McKay is doing some long prank on us

this was good

Gave up about 20 mins in. Dunno if I want to spend time with these folks.

Seems too similar to the Trump family for me to enjoy watching.

by **KPH** » Mon Jun 04, 2018 12:55 am

Yeah that and even if it's ostensibly the Murdochs...woof

This was alright but the dialogue was way crappier/cringier than I would have thought with Armstrong as writer/EP

by **Brevity** » Mon Jun 04, 2018 3:24 pm

Culkin seems especially bad in this

by **pokethedoke** » Mon Jun 04, 2018 9:50 pm

This is awful.

this show isn't very good, i suggest you don't watch it. biggest problem is taking itself too seriously.

by **mellowgold** » Tue Jun 05, 2018 9:02 pm

i liked this lol

it's funnier than i thought; didn't take itself too seriously, which is nice. it looks so flat and dull tho. the baseball/kid scene had my stomach in knots probably one of the most unsettling things ive seen in awhile. Culkin is great.

by **saranclaps** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 1:06 pm

i enjoyed episode 2 a lot more.

season 2 renewal already also.

by **building jumper** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 1:15 pm

Agreed. Ep 2 was a lot better

by **Lucky** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:09 pm

Just started ep 1 and totally forgot Ferrell and Armstrong were on this so that credit sequence was pretty surprising.

Some solid laffs so far: "Do you want to call your dad?", "He's puking out of his eyes!", Kieran Culkin strolling in..

the balance between super-serious business scheming and the Thick of It-isms in ep 2 feels kinda odd.

by **mellowgold** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 6:57 pm

omg episode 3 was fantastic

by **gskrap** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 8:05 pm

yeah, im on board

ok

by **mellowgold** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 4:32 pm

i keep thinking about "he put on a sock!"

by **Beautiful Jugdish** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 4:42 pm

this is good but everyone reminds me of the awful capitalists i work with way too much

culkin is extremely good in this

by **peshay** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 7:35 pm

I'm sure I'll find it too corporate - but will give it a shot before writing off.

by **mellowgold** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:27 pm

i think if the third episode didn't do anything for you and you're not into it it's prob fine to bail

by **mellowgold** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:28 pm

like, this third episode you can see the show and everyone in it figure out what it is. it's like everyone had a lightbulb go off and it was great; the show clicked with me too and everything just jelled
