Anyone watching this? I started it last night. In the beginning I was turned off by DLs accent. But it has grown on me and this show is great. Really liking Paul G character. Props to DL and PG for having babes of wife's.

I've watched the first two episodes. Really enjoying it and think it has tons of potential. Great cast.

However, I could live with never having to see that opening scene again...

Yeah, never quite understood the pissing thing. Tara is a cutey but I wouldn't want her vagina piss on me.

I still call her TARA from SOA

It's absolutely horrible other than Giamatti. I was going to cut it off about halfway last night until the scene in the park. I wonder what the quota on 'gotcha' lines was for every script. That's all they seem to want to give Damian Lewis or anyone that works for him. Not a single fricking thing about this show feels fresh or unique. I call it a rare failure by Showtime.

This series is 4 episodes in and it's awesome.

Think there is a lot of potential here.

Damian Lewis is on point as usual. Pig Vomit as a federal prosecutor who likes to be dominated is so very Ted Cruz. Great show

This.

The acting is adequate but the writing is painfully sub par.

Would any man, even the most beta amongst us, pick up dog poop with his bare hands because a man looking like Paul Giamatti intimidated them into doing so?

It would takes months of intense and painstaking investigating and then more months of negotiating to get one of these hedge funds characters to role over. In this show it's done once a week and it's usually completed within minutes. U.S attorney calls them into the office and they all become chatty cathy dolls immediately.

Hell, Giamatti convinced one of them to roll over on the biggest player in the industry while talking to the guy as he coached third base at a little league game.

Maybe they'll turn it around but it's been a real dud so far.

Couldn't get into it.

People behaving irrationally.

You know you are being actively investigated so you do shite just to stick a finger in the investigators eye.

Dialog was Lucasian bad.

I felt the same way about those scenes, especially the girl.

As a whole, I really like the show though. A few moments here and there do not make it a bad show.

The dialogue is pretty forced, and it sure seems like a financial industry knock-off of House of Cards, even down to the bitchy short-haired wife. I am still watching at Ep 3, but it is underwhelming.
