User Reviews

I Love this Show! I'm very hopeful that the second season is announced before the World Blows Up!

First, This is my kind of fun, Guilty Pleasure viewing. I see it as the West Wing meets Shameless... The impressive cast, somehow rises above some of their feature film work, and Tim Robbins is clearly having a great time.. And his character is who I've decided I want to be when I grow up. But, Props go to the entire ensemble.. The Teamwork Works.. Do not tune in if you are new too the show without starting with episode #1... I'm pleasantly addicted, and can't go to bed on Sunday Nights without seeing the new episode... If you don't get satire, my condolences... But this show is a ride, and most importantly it's pure entertainment. HBO does it again... It (the show) has left me with that "Please keep going thing"... More Killer less Filler. HBO More please?
