- CreatorAdam F. GoldbergSeth GordonStarsBret HarrisonAlphonso McAuleyChristian SlaterA high-tech security firm takes extreme, and often questionable, measures to sell their protection services.I liked this show. This show will be a like it or hate it, no in-between. This show has now been cancelled for the second time (and I imagine the final time) Fox just can’t seem to make up its mind.
Ok the show got poor ratings, it does not mean the show was bad, I liked it. it’s funny, witty and there is something about the lead character Oz (Christian Slater) that makes this work for me. He plays the boss really well but brings a touch of what I like to call the funnies with it, not 100% out and out comedy but little one liners that for me make the show. I like Christian Slater as an actor and don’t think he has been given the respect he deserves, Just take a look at his IMDB profile and you will see he has been working steady for many years.
Ok so Breaking In is pretty much a 20 minutes and change (per episode) comedy series about a security firm that gets hired to test the security of other companies and will use any means questionable or otherwise to do so. The show as it stands I think works, I would be wrong to say it’s fantastic, it’s the best think on TV etc, far from it. After watching a very short season 1 (7 episodes) I did wonder how they could continue with this show and in the start of season two all became clear and I still enjoyed watching it.
I don’t know what more to say on this review other than if you can watch it and make up your own mind, don’t take the show seriously , have fun watching it and who knows you may even find yourself laughing now and again.
RIP Breaking in….Maybe next time - CreatorMatt NixStarsJeffrey DonovanGabrielle AnwarBruce CampbellUS spy Michael Weston suddenly finds himself 'burned'-discredited without any form of procedure. Since no one will really help him, he survives by doing impossible jobs for desperate people in Miami.
- CreatorTom KapinosStarsDavid DuchovnyNatascha McElhoneEvan HandlerA writer tries to juggle his career, his relationship with his daughter and his ex-girlfriend, as well as his appetite for beautiful women.I was looking for a show to watch that was a little different not my usual taste and something more colourful, in truth I was not sure what I was looking for. I then read the write up about this show and thought ok sounds interesting, I have seen previews of it before but it has never jumped out at me but hay let’s give it a go.
After watching episode one I thought this was just a 20 minutes soft porn flick with a lot better actors, I thought the sex in the show was a little too much. Please let me state for the record right now, any hot blooded male will not take offence to a hot naked chick but if I wanted to watch porn I would not chosen this show. That said I don’t make a final judgement after one episode so I continued on and very quickly found myself at the end of season one. Well that’s it, I was hooked. The show is outstanding, at first I was worried it would have a crappy story line based around naked women and the character Hank Moody getting laid, ok that is part of it but as the episodes continue you start to see the life of the characters, not just Hank Moody’s but all of them evolve and how one man Hank Moody can affect and change things in other people lives. Ok maybe the show is not meant to be that deep but for me it worked. The characters are spot on and the entire show is completely different to what’s out there at the moment. In less than a week I have watched the entire season 1-5. That may sound like a lot but there are only 13 episodes a season and each episodes is about 20 minutes and change so it won’t take long to watch each season.
The only complaint I have about the show is about Madeleine Martin (Becca Moody), OMG please if I ever thought about doing myself in, after watching 5 season of this character I would have topped myself by now. ENOUGH of the droll voice, one tone speaking and the hard done by child, ok ok we get it you are pissed off with your parents, you are now a woman and your life is crap….BUT for *beep* sake stop with the moaning voice it’s drives me mad. I’m sure Madeleine’s a great actress (sorry have not seen her in anything I can compare it to) and let’s hope she gets to show a better side to herself in other things she does.
All the other characters in the show are great, Hank Moody is a totally great character, a little over the top at times and I believe he should have been smacked in the mouth a lot more for the *beep* he has pulled and how rude he can be but hay its only TV.
Natascha McElhone (Karen Moody) is a good solid actress, helps the fact she is smoking hot :) but her and David D seem to have something onscreen that works. The only unrealistic thing to me about Karen character is would someone have put up with the amount of *beep* Hank has given her and she still takes him back and still makes time for him. i guess some women are like that
Evan Handler (Charlie) well what can I say I find this guy funny as hell. The character is so well written for this guy I could not imagine anyone else playing the agent. I can only compare this to Jeremy Piven playing Ari Gold in Entourage, that part would not have worked with anyone else, Evan take it a compliment a big one at that.
Finally, Pamela Adlon (Marcy) what a great character she has made Marcy, funny, witty but rude, not so rude it offends but for some reason this women can say Pussy, *beep* and most other swaer words and pull it off whereas some cant. Pamela is great as Marcy and long live her character.
Overall I would rate this show very high, don’t take it to serious, it’s a bit of fun, adult only so no kids, I would defiantly recommend this to friends as I already have.
