GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

calvinnme I will say no more as to what the title of my review means. Watch yourself and find out. Let me just say that I watched the first episode and found the whole concept mediocre. A self made man and his sprawling media empire and his four spoiled kids who are each damaged in their own unique way. OK, I get it already, the Trumps are eeeeeeeevil!!! Either that or HBO had snatched the Stetsons off of the Ewing family, moved them from Dallas to NYC, and exchanged their oil for newsprint. Haven't I seen this before???But I was wrong. This first season is a ten episode masterpiece of well written television. And the season finale was as well done as any season finale I have ever seen with some great foreshadowing (what do some of those musical pieces playing in the background mean? I think they mean something as to the plot). Brian Cox plays the 80 year old patriarch of the family, Logan Roy. He is torn. Maybe he wants to move on and pass the reins to somebody else but likes the control, or maybe it is that only one of his children shows any interest in the business and that child, Kendall, is like a soft boiled egg - not sturdy at all and easily devoured. So the set-up is that Logan Roy, on his eightieth birthday, has a cardiac event and is raced to the hospital. He is in a coma and not expected to survive. The kids make arrangements to carry on without dad and Kendall thinks he is going to take dad's place. But dad wakes up. And so besides the themes of the corrupting effect of excessive wealth we have a theme pretty much unique to the 21st century. In the past our great leaders and monarchs just passed away quietly. What happens in an age when medicine can put quite elderly people back together - sort of? As in not their brains. So Logan does gradually recover, but his behavior is erratic, sometimes stuck in neutral, sometimes violent, sometimes showing a caveman like desire for dominance (at one point he urinates on the carpet in his son Kendall's office). I'll let you watch and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And writers - put the brakes on the f word. There were some episodes that would have been twenty minutes shorter had you left it out entirely. There are other words in the English language you can use for emphasis.

TheMegaCritic2000 . This show came out of nowhere and grabbed my attention in the very first few minutes of the first episode. I don't want to spoil it for those who have not watched it, so i will be careful and only say that it is, simply, brilliant TV.The production is superb, the casting perfect, great script, superbly atmospheric music and lots of twists and turns. The quality of acting is outstanding. There is hardly a likable character in the whole show, but that is because the cast do such a great job of bringing the characters to life revealing their flaws.I can't wait to see what season 2 has in store for the Roy family!

katlynnhahn I could not stop watching this show and certainly hope there will be a season 2. The entire cast was fabulous but Matthew Macfadyen's character Tom was my favorite. Macfadyen had me laughing, cringing and cheering throughout the series. Can't wait to see what happens next!

hdokubo A bit sceptical at first after the first couple of episodes. Then l realised that it is essential to understand each family character and their extended family relationship to really get to the crux of the show. Boy the dialogue hits you like a sledgehammer and some interesting scenes, even comedy and tense drama from these well selected actors. Enjoying the show as it really does do its best to stand out from usual new drama run of mill shows - this show takes risk
