I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

An outstanding series; one of my favorites! Was disappointed it ended.

It's always hard when you don't love the characters in a show. We felt for Michael Corleone, because the mantel he wore wasn't the one he wanted. Even bad guys can be sympathetic, unless your name is Tom Kane and you're the mayor of Chicago.It's possible other viewers feel for Tom (Kelsey Grammar), a despicable human being, if you can call him human, a ruthless, dying man sometimes made even more despicable by his illness. Grammar proves he is not only a great actor, which has always been so, but that he has a magnificent range. His costars are awful, too, so good in their roles that you hate them sometimes if not all the time -- the stunning Danish actress Connie Nielsen as his wife Meredith, the former mayor's daughter - clearly a dynastic marriage; his drug-addicted daughter Emma (Hannah Ware), estranged from her family; his associate, Kitty O'Neill (Kathleen Robertson), sleeping at various times with a couple of the enemies; and Ezra Stone (Martin Donovan) who does his master's bidding, most of it not too pleasant.Kane has lewybody dementia, and as a result, hallucinates, hears voices, has seizures and bombastic fits of temper, sometimes in public. As he fights his disease and does inappropriate things, he makes deals, lies, plays people off one another, wires peoples' offices and bedrooms, and is generally corrupt - in other words, business as usual. I have one objection to this show, and you'll think I'm a prude but here it is - it seems like nearly every encounter - and that includes in the hallways - ends with a sex act. I think it would have been more interesting if there were a few less encounters. One thing the show is great at is implying sexual heat during a scene so you just know there's chemistry - but I would like to think most adults are a little bit more discreet than some of these people, who seek out empty ladies' rooms, have sex in their offices, hallways, etc.Nevertheless it is tragic that this mature show was canceled after two seasons and there was no movie on STARZ, as was planned, to wrap up the series. Boss deserved so much more. Is it a realistic look at politics? Lucrative contracts to your friends, lots of quid pro quo, constantly lying, having people killed - probably.

I just can't understand why a show like this is cancelled whilst so much other 'tosh' just runs and runs. Grammar, Neilsen and Donavan are just mesmerising. Another reviewer mentioned its like Macbeth, I'm not so sure. We join a man clinging on to power rather than duped into grasping it. We certainly don't see a man who may not be up to his job. More a man who lost sight of his ideals. Though certainly Kane will sacrifice anybody and anything to retain power. Nielsen is sublime as his wife. Her motivations as dubious as Kane's. She is dignified even in the most lowly acts. There are moments of brilliance in this and I'm genuinely sad that I only have season 2 left to watch. If I could start a campaign to get this show recommissioned, I would! If only the TV execs could have preserved this show as well Kane and his staff preserved his office.

Kelsey Grammar's acting is great. The character was maniacal in the beginning but just became pathetic towards the end. Other than that, the show is a disappointment. There is nothing original about the stories. The women on this show and their story lines are nothing more than an excuse for the writers to give the male audience some porn. None of the characters are fleshed out. No one is interesting or has much depth. The show could have been so much better. But it was just a cheap "House of Cards" knockoff. The shakiness of the camera and the jerking from actor to actor was sloppy. The scenes of Chicago were well done though. The city looked beautiful.
