Does it get better? Why should I give a flying fuck about a bunch of billionaires trying to screw each other over? I heard all the hype about this but it doesn't even have a 8.0 on IMDB. I figured I'd give it a shot. What a snooze fest so far.
shareYep, it actually takes about two episodes... show is absolutely brilliant. You'll thank yourself for sticking it out, believe me. The acting / writing / dialogue / timing, it's all top notch. It definitely is trying to find its way in the first two episodes, but stick with it. Kieran Culkan is amazing. But to me, Matthew MacFadyen steals the series. The guy is one of the best actors around, and plays his role just about perfectly.
shareYou’re absolutely right. I stuck with it and it’s one of my favorite shows. Cheers!
shareNice, yeah I was in the same boat as you.. tried it like 3-4 months ago, and the shock of the cutting/abrasive/aggressive style totally turned me off, and I don't even think I got through the first episode. Then a few weeks ago I tried again, watched the first episode, still didn't love it.. watched the 2nd episode, remaining very much on the fence... but then like third episode in, the show just got good, super good-- it all just came together, and continued to improve and stay sharp and strong through the first and second season (I'm almost caught up, maybe one or two episodes behind in the second season).
shareI did bail after the third episode, but came back to it and I am so glad I did. A great show.
shareNot to me. After three episodes have no interest in continuing. Why hate watch a show in which you despise every single character?
shareThe way they live their lives is interesting. Millionaire one day, almost broke the next.
People with zero experience put into positions of power.
The greed, the back stabbing.
And I don't even know how these people make money.
Yeah, weird. I'm the same after one episode... Why do I care or have any empathy whatsoever for these entitled assholes.
The only thing of interest is hoping the Chinese guy brings them all down.
Let's see where it goes though...
