Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

mtropicl Just starting 2nd season. Consistently funny and bent. The story line is, as the intro says, the same every show, but the writing acting and direction are wacked. Not a sitcom and better than most "comedic" series.

cmartins-55176 Just by the name given to it « House of lies » I just never saw myelf watching it. But after just one episode, I had to watch the entire season in just two days." So according to a recent study, there will be more change, more competition, and more opportunities in this world of business in the next year than ever before. And this is exactly what charming, fast talking Marty Kaan and his crack team of MBA-toting Management consultants are playing America's 1 percent for everything they've got. As I watched the entire season of "House of lies",Season one with an overall of twelve sophisticated episodes. I told myself, I definately have watch the seasons. In season one , they put con in consulting as they charm smug, unsuspecting corporate fat cats into closing huge deals and spending a fortune for their services. I liked they way they are twisting the facts, spinning the numbers and spouting just enough business school jargon to dazzle the clients, and all the ends this crew will do for one other, not forgetting the endless laughters,on the way to the bank.Without letting the cat out of the bag, I will introduce the characters so as to let you reader discover the cast and the characters and to give you the urge of watching it.

Glynn Turman is Jeremiah Kaan The character. Jeremiah is Marty's father. He is a psychoanalyst and never loses the opportunity to spread opinions about the life of anyone who happens to him.Hope you Jump on the bandwagon...................

harisch i don't get most of the jokes because of their language (or is that accent?). A very sophisticated way of trying to humor audience. The very profession of the protagonist is a mystery to me. I really really don't get the meaning of the words managing consulting. If those words are tough to understand for you this show goes way deeper into those words But if you are intelligent enough to understand those words you'll enjoy it a lot. Still I am basing this review on only 2 episodes of season 1. I don't know if its easy to understand after 2 episodes. And also even if you don't get those words you'll still have about half of the episode which is in English.

hemril 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.
