Watched the pilot for House of Lies

And it sucked. Man, not a single likeable character. Way over the top, and totally unrealistic. I feel like the writers started with, "Hey we are on Showtime so we need a lot of nudity...we will figure out everything else later." Anybody else see it? I will give it one more episode to see if it levels out a bit, but I had higher hopes. I like Don Cheadle a lot, but I don't think this one makes it past one season.

Seen the first two, some funny moments. I'm going to stick with it mostly because I've read a review by a critic that has seen most of the first season, and his opinion is that it gets better after the over the top start.

it is realistic in that consultants are full of crap. other than that, not so much. im not a big fan of the show but im going to give it a few episodes.

I personally think Don Cheadle is overrated. In Crash, he under acts at the end but this is such a great movie everyone doesn't notice.
