House of Lies

I never ever write reviews and honestly this will be my first ever review for a movie or TV show in my entire life lol, that being said I can't even begin to understand why this show is rated so low. This show is the most entertaining show I have seen since "office", plus it has all the adult themes that you wished was displayed in "Office". No its not a work of art of some yuppy's view of how great television is supposed to be but wow this is just that perfect show for the normal person who still has some sort of pulse left in his veins. I can understand how the older generation would not enjoy this show but it truly is just great mindless fun to watch and enjoy. Once again I never wrote a review before in my life but I just had to after seeing such low ratings, I really hope they don't cancel this show like all the other great shows that was low rated because people are just too uptight in their ideas of proper television. IDK maybe because I don't have grey hair yet or don't pretend to be sitting in a directors chair that I don't understand such low rating. Anyway if you take a regular guys advice, try this show cause it really is the most under rated comedy out there.

Incredible fun all around, surprised I didn't watch sooner! Delightful cast throughout that do business stuff, fool around, and get things done. I love the dialogue quite well written and the parts Don Cheadle breaks the 4th are greatness! I'm gonna enjoy binging House of Lies.

Whom ever suggested that porn is better must not watch porn at all. As an adult I am tired of having television shows watered down to please those who are afraid of adult content. I love the savvy business talk,the fact that the consultants do what they have to do to get what they want. We all know that that's not the real world but it's a TV show. The banter is brilliant and the humor is memorable. Don Cheadel's character is so unapologetically ruthless that you can't help but like him. A welcome break from mindless reality shows. This now my favorite Showtime Series. The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 is because I wish it were an hour long.

This has to be one of the most lewd and rude shows I have ever seen. Push that aside for a tick and discount the machine gun humour that's leaving gaping holes across the corporate back drop in which this is set. Move to the foreground to where I want to dwell. The great mix of self absorbed characters with more hang ups than a normal closet. A dollop of kid dealing with coming out of a closet, or is that his dad and dad's dad that are dealing with it? Those two generations of fathers are definitely not sure how to do the job. Only seen two episodes but I am hooked, line and sinker. Sprinkle the whole thing with a reasonably good support cast. Greg Germann was so good in Episode one, good to see a reprise in next weeks. Kristen Bell is OK as is Ben Swatz & Josh Lawson in full geek mode.

But what is with the on again off relationship with Don Cheddie and Dawn Olivieri who plays his hot ex? Gold, pure gold! This is one of those multi layered comedies that I look for from the UK.

Bravo ShoTime for making, what is at present, my new favourite TV show. Keep it strong!

What started out as a scathing, hilarious indictment of the management consulting racket within just a few episodes has unfortunately turned into a heart-warming/-wrenching story about dysfunctional family life and damaged people.

Even the remnant veneer of business-side stories are beginning to cast the consultants as good guys, working hard to save troubled businesses rather than the leaches and scum of the original premise.

Also, very regrettably the show falls for the false premise that gender-bending is automatically funny and risqué. In fact for those to be funny they have to be, well, funny, as opposed to simply slapped in with a teenage breathlessness about how cool they are.
