Bulge Bracket

Had a chance to watch it online from a friend's suggestion, loved the humor and all of the characters.

Though it's satire, this is a very realistic portrayal of life as an investment banking analyst or associate. The hijinks, the crazy MDs, it's all too true. There's even a few recognizable faces - Lanny Joon from Baby Driver steals every scene he's in. Top-notch production values, a good story and great acting all around.

If you work in any professional service firm, you'll like this show. The characters are very real people you know at work and the story is both funny and feels very relatable. I don't think other office shows more accurately depict what it's like to work in big finance/law/accounting firms with humor and the same "ohhhh I've totally worked with that guy" moments. Great show!

Oh a whim, I watched Season One of BULGE BRACKET on Prime Video. I found it to be a wonderful satire of the investment bank industry, which is something I really knew nothing about. Not only did the shows witty banter between the ensemble cast catch my atention, but the writers actually made it interesting. Feodor Chin's 'Bolo' character stood out for me as being very likeable as much as he is ruthless from Episode's 1-3. While the cast was very entertaining from the start, it was Episode 4's character 'Rosie' (played by Gigi Gustin) who really rounded out the cast and added that little "extra bounce" that was missing previously. Gustin's innocent and natural charm made it easy for the rest of the cast to reflect off of her while her Amelie-like ingenue appeal makes us all wonder if there is something her character is hiding behind her soft exterior. Could she be naive or is there something 'diabolical' waiting underneath as she makes her rounds through her co-workers. She plays Rosie so well that I think more hijinks are in store for her as we await what happens in Season Two. Give this one a watch! WALL STREET meets THE OFFICE.

Shocked by the poor average score this show gets - It's a great satire! (Think "Wolf of Wall Street" meets "Silicon Valley.") Also loving the all-Asian cast. Give it a go, it's very accurate (IMHO), and not nearly as bad as the detractors say...
