Opinions, ratings and reviews?

I would like to know what's everybody thinking about this show.

Since a lot of us have already seen the whole season I'm interested in knowing other people's opinions, reviews, etc.

For Starz I think this was a great TV show if not one of their best ones (behind Boss and Power). It's an interesting, original and different TV show which improves the experimental side of the film (which didn't work 100% for me).

The cast did a great job, but sometimes I didn't know if everything was working fine. I mean... I'm not sure if the performances were great, just OK, or bad since I don't know what was the writers' purpose for each scene. Riley Keough acted strange sometimes (or most of it) and I can't see if it was the intention or just wrong direction/acting.

The main weakness for me was that the business storylines seem written by somebody who doesn't know anything about businesses. They were very poorly handled, just on the surface.

Anyway, I have really enjoyed the season. Such an interesting show!

Through the first 3 episodes, the show is really entertaining. Shocked by the low rating.

If you have seen the whole season, its a shame they didn't get the business scenes right. To me, one of the most interesting stories is her too internship at a prestigious law firm.

Her intelligence is a huge factor in making these highly successful business men fall so hard for her. She's incredible at being the girl that each of these men are looking for.

I will say that the Jackleen thing was very unclear and kind of just thrown together. Hopefully, they will make the stories more coherent next year.

Overall, i really like this show.

Somehow everybody is acting with very little emotion. Riley Keough is almost robotic, but it might just be the character.

I can see why it got low ratings though. Quality could be better, plus a show like this probably doesnt get a ton of viewers.

Personally I thought the acting in this series was superb. The robotic emotion by the actors I thought was intentional and effective to communicate a certain atmosphere of coldness which could quite possibly exist in those types of environments. Well done and effective. The interesting thing about this method is when you watch the climatic, no pun intended, episodes the actors, especially the main protagonist, really show their chops. I'm not going to go into any details in order to not reveal spoilers but if you haven't watch the entire series yet and you are reading this post you'll recognize it. If you've seen this entire series already just reminisce and think about it.
