In a world where Hollywood preaches to us as to how we should be, think, act, and vote, there is one thing worse: when Hollywood tells us what we are. There is a shallowness of writing here which is at once hackneyed and amateur. One of the reasons for The Donald's roaring success in that the Left truly does not understand him, or us. As a series written years before he rose to political Leadership, my remark may sound like a non sequitur. It is not, if you think about it.
Instead of being a parody or expose of the Right, this series is a fascinating parody of the Left's writing style, and a demonstration of its infantile predilection for projection - where everyone else is as simplistic and without moral compass as they are. In that accidental success, this series is spectacular.
Since the acting in this thing is generally excellent, I could not sink below a 6. Too bad, that, really.
I suppose, if a person was so dense that he did not realize the 12 pound sledgehammer subtlety of the messages here, we are also treated to the X Ray Trivia, which literally underscore and document the agenda with all the sophistication of a high school term paper. This distortions contained therein truly feel like a cartoon.
