House of Lies

I went in with no expectations, so I laughed a lot. My husband happened to walk by just as it was starting, so he sat down and watched the whole thing, and laughed right through it with me. But we are both corporate drones, so making fun of corporate drones worked just fine for me.

Honestly, they had me at Hello, with Don Cheadle's fine naked ass in the first minute of the show.

Same here. I finally caught up with this show in the past weeks and I think it's hilarious. I am not sure how close it is to reality but a lot of its elements feel real enough to me, the ruthlessness of management,the sexual favors, the overuse of big words to cover up the fact they don't know shit. I wish they'd show cases in which they fail to get the client, but I take it this is a comedy, their intention is to make fun of the fat cats in suits and not exactly give us a truthful portrayal of a management consultancy.

Matt Damon guest starred in the latest episode as himself, poking fun at his nice boy image but I thought, also making fun of celebrities who play up an image for the public when in reality they're rude obnoxious assholes.Of course he couldn't resist making fun of the Clooney so now I fully expect George Clooney to star in a future episode as a potential client of the company where he makes fun of Matt Damon. Having Matt Damon and Don Cheadle share the screen made me so happy and I kept thinking as I watched Don Cheadle; here's a fine, talented, sexy man who had a successful show last year on TV and is an Oscar nominated actor and who would have been an excellent choice for People's Sexiest Man Alive title. Yet they went with Channing Tatum because he can play the romantic lead but also strip down to his briefs. Sexy!

Matt Damon was hilarious! I loved him being awful, creepy, racist Matt. And the bantering with Marty & his crew always cracks me up. So dad named his kids Martin & Malcolm? Trendy! I hope Larenz Tate sticks around, I like him.
