I think my love for this show is actually growing. Even Clarke, the driver was funny.

I do believe this is my favorite new show of the season.

Mine too.

Is it just me or does Jeremy's GF, Natalie, look the spitting image of a young Gina Gershon from the side? I couldn't get over it.

I love little "Gustav." Not to mention Brian's version of courage and morality: "It's like David and Goliath. You have to find a weakness and exploit it. There's today's lesson from the Bible." I initially disliked Brian's character immensely but I've really started to appreciate the black comedy aspects that he brings.

What I like about this show (beyond some of the obvious) is how it's unexpectedly full of pathos or vulnerability in characters who would otherwise (especially initially) seem like one-dimensional caricatures. It may only be a few lines here or there, but it's quite surprising. At least to me.

I was rather ambivalent about the show in the beginning, mainly because of the one-dimensionality of the characters in the premiere episode. But last week's confrontation b/w Donald Sutherland's character and Jill Clayburgh's was really well done. It showed that the show was willing to venture into some emotional territory and not stick to the silly Paris-satire, or to mockups of the Rich and Feckless. Donald Sutherland's character has provided a really necessary counter-balance to the other parts of the show. (And I don't say that merely because I love Donald Sutherland.)

All in all, it's an unusual show that combines humour and satire with a lot of unexpected things. Like William Baldwin's character having what is probably the truest, most personal, and intimate relationship in the show. Even though it's with a tranny hooker.

I'm right there with you. In fact, I'd say I think it's the best new show of the season. This past episode just shot sparks. Brilliantly written and acted all around. They've given us theoretical reasons to love everyone (whether or not one is moved by the fact that William Baldwin's character was the only one to acknowledge Peter Krause at his own father's funeral, it made me like him instantly), and I'm crazy about the twins, who seem to have been most particularly set up as the audience's touchstone, probably because they're merely "innocently spoiled" with all their best impulses intact and simmering behind the surface.

So I have sort of a confession to make, I worshiped Sports Night, I adored Six Feet Under and yet I have always been completely and totally underwhelmed by the presence of Peter Krause. Seriously, I found him the least interesting and most annoying character of two of his main roles. Give me Dan and Dave over Casey and Nate anytime. I have several times wanted to smack him and yet I really adore him on this show. Here is hoping it continues and that maybe one day in the future Josh Charles can get some work.

Holy crap, I love this show. There's so many things going on and I love all of them. The twins whole storyline was a great showcase for Jeremy. I swear, that actor looks better the more vulnerable his character is. These are normally the type of characters I hate, judging from my head shaking hate for Big Shots. I've never been more able to identify with the super privileged.

I think it's because of the actual family feel. They love each other. And while I totally wonder who is Dutch's bio kid, I don't think Trip will treat them differently.

(I kind of want it to be Karen. Because that would be totally fucked.)

This episode was so good. Yay for Brian Jr. I was hoping they wouldn't drag that out all season. Dammit, now I have to like Brian Sr. And I hated him so much before.
