AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

claredackombe I just can't understand why a show like this is cancelled whilst so much other 'tosh' just runs and runs. Grammar, Neilsen and Donavan are just mesmerising. Another reviewer mentioned its like Macbeth, I'm not so sure. We join a man clinging on to power rather than duped into grasping it. We certainly don't see a man who may not be up to his job. More a man who lost sight of his ideals. Though certainly Kane will sacrifice anybody and anything to retain power. Nielsen is sublime as his wife. Her motivations as dubious as Kane's. She is dignified even in the most lowly acts. There are moments of brilliance in this and I'm genuinely sad that I only have season 2 left to watch. If I could start a campaign to get this show recommissioned, I would! If only the TV execs could have preserved this show as well Kane and his staff preserved his office.

magnoliaanderson Kelsey Grammar's acting is great. The character was maniacal in the beginning but just became pathetic towards the end. Other than that, the show is a disappointment. There is nothing original about the stories. The women on this show and their story lines are nothing more than an excuse for the writers to give the male audience some porn. None of the characters are fleshed out. No one is interesting or has much depth. The show could have been so much better. But it was just a cheap "House of Cards" knockoff. The shakiness of the camera and the jerking from actor to actor was sloppy. The scenes of Chicago were well done though. The city looked beautiful.

Mellow_Biafra Locked in a room for a few days with nothing to keep me entertained except Netflix. Stumbled upon this gem because I'm a huge Kelsey Grammar fan and the show just sounded awesome. The first two episodes, I felt like I needed Ritalin to keep up with all the story lines and characters being introduced.By episode five, Boss had restored my faith in television.By the end of season one, I was ready to declare Boss as one of my favorite shows of all-time. The show is expertly acted and superbly directed with a rotating roster of big name directors that weave together the stories surrounding Chicago Mayor and political boss Tom Kane. Played by Kelsey Grammar, Tom Kane is a coldly logical if sociopathic mayor who engages in the darkest of politics for the greater good of his city. Surrounding him is a cast of other political figures, employees, journalists, businessmen, crime figures and family members. Painted against a modern back drama, Boss plays like a modern opera as the stories of many people weave together to form the reality of modern politics.While Boss can be highly complex, the masterful performance of Grammar carries the show and is so engrossing that its difficult to stop watching once you start. The weaving story lines of different characters, their motivations and how they work to screw one another is one of the most engrossing experiences I've had with a television show. In the end, despite Mayor Kane coming across as the epitome of evil, you come to realize through the corruption or ignorance of the other characters that Kane is working towards the greater good.If you're a fan of Kelsey Grammar or you enjoy dark political stories, this is a can't miss show. The first few episodes are difficult to get into but are carried by Grammar's performance. However once you get into this show, it becomes highly addicting.

Arenas4812 I got this as suggestion after House of Cards and Damages. I loved Damages the most,but this was good! I worked in Chicago politics for about a year, and the back biting is pretty real. The scheming is true, and it reminded of what people will do to get to the top of state government. It's crazy. Kelsey Grammar's all the powerful mayor of Chicago, and believe or not, he tries to control the whole state. The only issue is that he can't, so we have to see how he works his way through the state's different divisions to get tasks done. It's very good, and appealed to me the most because I worked in that environment. Some of it's more real than you'd think. Season One had some filler episodes, but I like the drug dealing boyfriend of his daughter. The projects turned into condos storyline is similar to the truth to. Especially trying to get the African American Democrats on his side. Season Two's pretty good, I'm really surprised they didn't continue this show on or wrap this up. Overall, It's worth a watch!
