Better Late Then Never

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This show has "everything" that has been plagiarized from events and other shows: gay son (why?), straight son with a fiancé' who is bulimic (why?), semi-alcoholic grandma (Ellen Burstyn with whom I am in love, but why this role?), an asshole cheating over-sexed ex-president, his ex-wife secretary of state, international crisis, blah, blah, blah. Maybe it was inspired by House of Cards, a much superior series. As a soap opera, this might have worked, but if one seeks a glance inside Washington politics, excellent acting, intelligent dialog, search elsewhere. I lasted until the end of episode 2. We would assume that the first couple of episodes of any series would be really well done, but not here. Did it get better? Maybe, but I doubt it. One can watch it "for free" on Netflix. Go ahead if you have a N.F. subscription. Don't pay to watch it. I had high hopes, dashed.

Segorney Weaver was a powerhouse back in the 80's, but her acting is a bit rusty in this series. This was not a role for her. The plot was excellent, the acting was excellent (with the exception of Segorney Weaver). I didn't find her believable, her acting skills fell flat, I watched two episodes and just couldn't watch any longer. The character that plays her ex husband was a bit creepy and disturbing to look at. I gave it 4 stars for the plot. I just couldn't watch it anymore. I guess it's not the 80's anymore when she ruled the Alien franchise. I guess now we know this only lasted 1 season (6 episodes). I was surprised and disappointed at the same time.

This is such a good show that I enjoyed so much that I can not wait for the 2nd episode. It has the climax and the well organized plot for a political drama (esp on TV for a single episode ), it boiled my blood when I was watching it in certain plots, so that I give it a 10 star rating.All the casts here are well known and famous ( mostly I would say they are movie stars, the major casts ) with professional acting skills and expertness. It is much better than West Wing. Although this is a political fiction, it also somehow reflects some reality in it....very exciting to watch!

I've always had a warm spot for Sigourney Weaver. She's a forceful, powerful woman that can carry the screen center-stage without being the usual Hollywood Android Sex-Doll.And this little Political Soapbox mini-series-- though predictable -- gives me a believable, deeply-emoted chronicle of a Political Woman. And yes, the plot-line can be described as formulaic, and the characterizations a bit over the top...but then sometimes 'Formula' Works.And for all the people who, for some reason, are all in a snit over the 'Language'...Do you actually Believe that when Politicians are behind closed doors and under stress, do you actually BELIEVE that their speech is neatly choreographed in front of Nuns or something? I mean, I know that's what they WANT us to believe, the whole 'Family Values' thing, the 'Girl Scouts & Sugar Cookies' thing...But people-- even your Pastor or your Priest CURSE under stress. And Heck-- Politicians, ALL POLITICIANS, can talk a seaman into the gutter and Back. I know. I worked for the Mayor of New York back in the 80's. And I LEARNED how to curse fluently and at length from that man. But on Camera, he was always sugar cookies and Nicety.Grow up and Face Reality, Please. This is an ADULT Drama, NOT the Disney Hour.And back to Sigourney. This is a role that lets a woman radiate 'Gravitas'...and Ms. Weaver is fully 'ON'. Bravo!
