Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

How can anyone like this god-awful show that is not even funny. This show is full of juvenile content and vulgarity. All I hear is f*** this and f*** that and sh** this and other cursing. I mean really what kind of audience does this TV series appeal to? It is so boring and just full of vulgarities and like a soap opera. Do they really think sex with different characters make this show more attractive than the cursing? There is no substance. It makes my head hurt just watching 10 minutes. I really don't watching. My dumb, empty-headed roommate is. It is too bad that I can't find 10 sentences to write about this show. Why do they have a 10-minimum sentence requirement anyway?

The main characters have a smidgen of depth; the rest are cardboard cutouts. The situations the pod addresses are occasionally realistic, but the 'sell' itself is almost always simplistic. The ease with which the clients succumb to the various 'sells' is ridiculously easy, as if the heads of large corporations don't simply make mistakes (they often do) but make stupid ones on a regular basis. And, of course, the characters all have 'issues' - daddy issues, mommy issues, inferiority issues - a pretense to cover up the shallowness of the characters. It's rather like putting on a layer of icing on a cow pie. Everyone habitually talks about sex, sex, and more sex; the "mine is bigger than yours" mentality pervades every scene, except the ones where actual sex occurs. The depicted snark and chest thumping has become a cultural infection that is today reflected in our politics (I will leave specific names unmentioned). The good life is not depicted not as one of stability and contentment, of family and community, but of fast living, fancy cars, and $1000 sushi bars, and waltzing through life one-upping the next guy.In my opinion, the depicted ideals reflect a society in decline.

I think my Summary says it all! Don Cheadle knows biracial children are seldom portrayed authentically on television -- save commercials. The protagonist/antagonist's baby is not representative of a biracial child. Why are you perpetuating this "Black" baby stereotype -- Don?The motif of the show is black and white -- sameness. This storyline is neither provocative or imaginative. The protagonist's baby could have been blond and alabaster. That would have added more texture to the already textured story. Where is the story in a overwrought out of wedlock oops? I am disappointed... Once upon a time, you guys were fearless.

This show was going so well in the first season. It had my votes. But this second season is not worth my time. The writing is all over the place, Marty's wife is nowhere near as spicy as she used to be. And... oh well, the writers messed it up and it is going the way of the dodos. We no longer know what the show is about. I have seen enough. I will not return and this show shouldn't either. Too bad. It had started very well. The characters are supposed to have this interaction, you know, this sexual tension between Marty and and the Jeanny, they keep on reminding us about it at the beginning of every episode that something is going on, but we never get to it. Spit it out! Too much useless stuff around all this. Inspiration has ran out.
