Embeds is the story I could relate too. As an avid campaigner this social romcom story about graduates doing reports about a promising candidate gives a smiling inside look what it is like to do campaigning. There are so much stories out there by the thousands of volunteers that assist in campaigning, it was time finally a good story sees the daylight. I only saw the first episode but put it straight in my favorites. There are many story lines going on, which all can be told, as the main focus is the bus on which they travel to each PR-opportunity. It could use a bit more flavor by adding some other focus groups but this team brings around a lot of different backgrounds too. And the cliché's about it are also addressed immediately when waking up in a hotel room with two woman beside you sets the tone for not being politically correct. Freshness it is and I do hope the writers take us on a giant tour through modern day America and address all the cultural differences that binds the Americans together. After all, as a European, i can only smile about their 'imported' status of being morally on the high ground, while loosing all your footing immediately due to scandals. Looking forward for more !

Liz & Dick
(2012 TV Movie)
Entertaining and informational background story on Hollywood legends
27 November 2012
The movie surprised me somewhat, because of the bad critics I read on the net. Lohan is perfect in her performance, but Grant Bowler is miscasted. I did't think the movie was that good in displaying a background story on the both of them, but it actually does make up a good movie. I would have done things differently but the to be honest, the screenplay wasn't leaving much depth for the leading actors in this. It's the talent of Lohan and Bowler that make up for it, although there is no chemistry. I would have casted differently but those choices are up to the studio. But honestly, its better then expected, and to get a glimpse into their lives, Liz And Dick is a good starter.
