I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MoreThat was an excellent one.
I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
View MoreI will say no more as to what the title of my review means. Watch yourself and find out. Let me just say that I watched the first episode and found the whole concept mediocre. A self made man and his sprawling media empire and his four spoiled kids who are each damaged in their own unique way. OK, I get it already, the Trumps are eeeeeeeevil!!! Either that or HBO had snatched the Stetsons off of the Ewing family, moved them from Dallas to NYC, and exchanged their oil for newsprint. Haven't I seen this before???But I was wrong. This first season is a ten episode masterpiece of well written television. And the season finale was as well done as any season finale I have ever seen with some great foreshadowing (what do some of those musical pieces playing in the background mean? I think they mean something as to the plot). Brian Cox plays the 80 year old patriarch of the family, Logan Roy. He is torn. Maybe he wants to move on and pass the reins to somebody else but likes the control, or maybe it is that only one of his children shows any interest in the business and that child, Kendall, is like a soft boiled egg - not sturdy at all and easily devoured. So the set-up is that Logan Roy, on his eightieth birthday, has a cardiac event and is raced to the hospital. He is in a coma and not expected to survive. The kids make arrangements to carry on without dad and Kendall thinks he is going to take dad's place. But dad wakes up. And so besides the themes of the corrupting effect of excessive wealth we have a theme pretty much unique to the 21st century. In the past our great leaders and monarchs just passed away quietly. What happens in an age when medicine can put quite elderly people back together - sort of? As in not their brains. So Logan does gradually recover, but his behavior is erratic, sometimes stuck in neutral, sometimes violent, sometimes showing a caveman like desire for dominance (at one point he urinates on the carpet in his son Kendall's office). I'll let you watch and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And writers - put the brakes on the f word. There were some episodes that would have been twenty minutes shorter had you left it out entirely. There are other words in the English language you can use for emphasis.
View MoreI might have been ok if the cameraman had stop playing with the hiccuping zoom control. Stop watching halfway through episode 3. Wasn't worth my time.
