Boss

The guy playing the reporter is very believable.

I don't mind the disease storyline. It adds vulnerability to Grammer's character and gives him a reason to reach out to his estranged wife and daughter.

 

Third episode was a bit more problematic for me. The nudity, while appreciated, is gratuitous and the relocation of the doctor was silly. I found my self only caring about the O'Hare thing

 

You have a problem with Kathleen Robertson's nudity?

 

I wrote it was appreciated.

The hookers (while Kane gave a monologue) and the nurse were not plot relevant. I've read that they may be his hallucinations, but I'm not sure.

 

I haven't watched episode 3 yet.

 

The hookers may have been hallucinations, but I'm sure the nurse was...when the camera pulls back, her pile of clothes is gone (so I'm assuming there was an equally subtle clue for the hookers).

Problematic? To say the least. It went from BBC/PBS quality in the first two episodes to Desperate Housewives/Gray's Anatomy silly in week 3.

The sitting governor storyline is shaky at best (using a surveillance camera to blackmail him is a reach, the idea that he'd have a staff of two is a joke.), the sex is appreciated by now equally hard to believe, and the doctor storyline is completely ridiculous now.

But I really liked the clothes washer scene. It was a nice anecdote about his life.

 

I thought that a governer secretly traveling to Florida repeatedly to raise money made no sense.

His comic relief is OK, but it needs to be in small doses. It seems a little sillly that the primary is so close and the young guy is now only starting to make ads and come on strong.

I think it is a short season (8 episodes?) so maybe that's the reason.

 

Almost a month goes by without someone commenting on the show?!?! Still super TV for me, and Grammar's position gets more and more evil by the minute!

It elevated itself to greatness in the last episode. Evil at its finest.

 

I think I posted a couple of weeks ago on another thread, not remembering that there was a Boss-specific one.

Funny how once they got rid of the badly written doctor storyline, the show really became grounded in reality, and really took off.

The last two episodes were great. No, actually, the last episode with the fuck-me twist at the end was the best single show I've seen on TV since the height of the Sopranos.

 

I just check in to see Kathleen naked.

I think she is my muse.

 

It is must-see TV taken to a new level.
