    [8.2] Daddy, pick up the phone!

    Episode 1: A very good pilot with the right amount of development, background, mini backstories, fun and intelligent dialogues, twists and turns for one episode and an engaging interesting flow.

    Interesting

    About halfway through the episode I was like what? I can't relate to any of them. I'm Small town guy but I love some entertainment. And man, this was not it. But, after the speech from the dad and figuring out the cliche of characters, it clicked. Wow. Good stuff. The dad is the alpha dog u want to run a company and survive wall street and the son who wants so hard to fill daddy's shoes just will never live up to it. And they all fall in the cliche field. But they all played it well. The acting is good. I can't relate at all. But I can guarantee this is how wallstreet works. Upclass overpaid white people us country folk want nothing to do with. And I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

    8.9/10, Amazing

    Higher rated? Yes please. This was no a bad pilot episode. In fact, this was actually really good. My favorite things about this episode were the Cinematography, the music, and the dialogue. My favorite characters in this episode were Logan, Kendall, and Shiv. I am starting to have doubts about how bad this show could've been when I first learned about it, but I was really really wrong. This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you are looking for a cool buisness show on Max, I definitely recommend you watch this show right here. I first started watching this show because it had a 10/10 episode on this app before, so I intend to see if it deserved it.

    Fantastic, Superb!

    Surprised and delighted at the plot lline, writing, acting and welcomed new HBO series. Can't wait for Season 2! What a final episode of season 1!!!!!!

    Brian Cox can do no wrong..

    I'm surprised there isn't more positive reviews. Its well written, nice amount of dark humour. The characters are mostly horrible people you'd never want to meet in your life. I love it.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Show creator, Jesse Armstrong initially conceived the series as a feature film about the Murdoch family, but the script never went into production. Armstrong eventually expanded the scope of the story to include the larger landscape of Wall Street, which he felt better suited for a television format. Armstrong wrote a new script centered on original characters loosely inspired by various powerful media families such as the Murdochs, the Redstones and the Sulzbergers.
