Review of House of Lies

House of Lies (2012–2016)
6/10
Juvenile.
24 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Bad language and nudity is not my idea of being an adult. It was for a while.

Then turned twelve.

Nowadays takes a lot more to get my attention let alone keep it.

The odd obscenity and bared breast does not automatically make a show more "mature".

This looked like a third rate californication ripoff. That show works occasionally. This one didn't. At all.

In the Wire even the foulest language sounded authentic. Here everything is jarringly fake.

Good cast could have been used to better effect. Instead you get stripper and closet lesbian and other nonsense.

Could not crack a smile let alone laugh at this "comedy".

Only joke here is the writing.

Realize they need to distinguish themselves from the bigger networks but can't they show a little class while doing it.

Could get better but wouldn't hold my breath.

Wish them well.

Thank you.
