[IATT]

i mean, laura linney is already letting down the team (word to love actually)

 

[rawex5]

The bet part was different, but a little corny.

I'll still continue to watch.

I'll give it a few more eps but pilot was trash.

What is this 4th wall you speak of?

4th wall is when an actor, usually the lead, directly addresses/acknowledges the audience.

The fourth wall is the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled box set in a proscenium theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play.[sup][1][/sup][sup][2][/sup] The idea of the fourth wall was made explicit by philosopher and critic Denis Diderot and spread in nineteenth-century theatre with the advent of theatrical realism,[sup][3][/sup] which extended the idea to the imaginary boundary between any fictional work and its audience. Speaking directly to or otherwise acknowledging the audience through the camera in a film or television program, or through this imaginary wall in a play, is referred to as "breaking the fourth wall" and is considered a technique of metafiction, as it deconstructs the boundaries normally set up by works of fiction.[sup][1][/sup][sup][4][/sup]
I like the show, don't mind the breaking of the "4th wall" because it has become fairly common.  Still not sold, but coming on after Shameless helps a lot.

Shameless is... shameless!

Show is !*+#%!+ awesome.  Those damn Gallagher's.

 

[MPLS612]

Show is awesome but wish it was longer

 

[cap1229]

My new fave show. The whole cast is gold. That's the kind of people you wanna work with. Lol

 @ 3rd episode

 

[whyhellothere]

meh, ok ep
those little penis jokes weren't that funny
Kristen in the next ep

 

[cryingfreemancoa]

I really want this show to succeed but there are some serious flaws that need to be worked out.

The characters need much more depth. I understand there has been only a few episodes but Every character seems to lack and real personality besides the silly jokes and random business jargon

I know its hurts me to say this but many of the sex scenes seem waayy out of place and unrealistic.

The Saddle 

 

[jonbx5]

I agree with CryingFreemancoa, besides marty we really dont know much about any of the characters on the show.

 

[blazekicks]

great showw watch all three eposides. the gay son thing is hilarious.

 

[dade b0y]

Kristen Bell is a sexy white girl, man.

 

[dallassneakerhead08]

Yooo...
After watching for the second time in 2 weeks this show is pretty nice. 

The whole set up/delivery of it is much different than a lot of shows out there. 

Not to mention...

I Love Kristen Bell

 

[p1nstr1pez]

pretty good episode today, I don't think this show can have a long span, it simply too repetitive, and it doesn't connect from one episode to the other, 2-3 seasons max
and even then, I don't think Cheadle and Bell want to be pigeon holed into doing TV 

 

[omgitswes]

Wanted Bell to get naked

 

[crazy dav0]

the gay kid thing is out of control ... dude is 10 and is mad extra ...

cheadle and bell got some serious issues ...

episode 5 is on on demand ... i may watch it tonight to see what happens with bell's storyline ...

did i miss an episode ... i think it was epi 3 that ended with cheadle stealing the car at the valet ... and i didn't see a follow up ... if that's the case

They give my future profession a bad wrap

Consulting is a real "value added" industry

What firm you think he works for though? From the way they go hard, I'm gonna say Bain. His ex-wife has that smug McKinsey style to her.

The show had a good feel in the beginning, but the wack job kid takes away from it.
  

 

[mr kuter]

This show needed to be an hour a week, so it could have proper character exploration. This 30mins just isnt enough.

 

[whyhellothere]

 @ that Jeanie s scene & that woman logic bs

  monica. no shame.
Megalyn Echikunwoke again

I know

 

[|A-Man|]

Only watch this show for the sex and the lulz the awkward guy brings. His game when he approached that So You Think You Can Dance judge

The ep ending with him stealing that car and then speeding in the city was suppose to signify Cheadle's character's many issues. Don't think the stealing of the car was suppose to lead anywhere.
