Boss on Starz
- Thread starter doggish_098
- Start date
still think you cant have THIS MANY scumbags on one show
wow.
didn't realize it was like THAT
but story wise I dont think a series can survive and be successful when everyone is rotten ALREADY...
One of the great things about Breaking Bad was the slow degradation of the characters as their situations worsened and reality set it...
The Wire many characters THOUGHT they were just in their actions...
Did he plan the whole thing to weed out loyals and others?
That's one reason why I'm just shaking my head at people praising the writing of the show
It doesn't come close to some of the other great cable shows(Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad).
It's like Spartacus or The Walking Dead to me. If you don't like an intricate plot and so so dialogue and character development. It's not even The Shield to me, which was also a bit over the top, but had nice character development and well written plots and subplots.
All you know is everyone is greedy and fucked up. It doesn't delve in to why, or make the characters complex or layered. Do you like anyone on the show? Do you know why they are the way they are? Do you even care? It could offer so much more. Shits over the top for entertainment purposes. From a pure entertainment stand point it's cool.
I could never see myself listening to a podcast for an hour on this show, shit I wouldn't need too.
this.........That shit had me like.
That's one of the craziest shit I've seen on tv.
It's subtle, but gangster at the same time.
The dude handed him his own ears!
He put that shit in the trash dispenser
Complex, this is politics, politicians aren't supposed to have a soul. Want some depth to your characters? How about everyone vying for Kane's position but clearly aren't as articulate and cunning as their enemy. This show has great writing for a show with a limited shelf life.
then at the end he slapped the DOGSNOT outta his wife. We need a gif of that one
Thank you!
If the ratings are good enough for a fourth season, they'll find a cure and he will just pick his own successor and be boss from the outside. This could become a cash cows for starz.
great story!!
Stone having a conscience and code, didn't see that coming at all, but he was smooth...
Kane - new. undisputed. power (political or gangster). BEAST!
destroyed daughter, pimped wife, scattered the mal contents, by sowing doubt and crushing an enemy's sanctuary, complete subjugation of an upstart rival, rained pain and destruction on betrayers...
takes the title from
future challengers (if writing stays consistent)??

Yes...remember when Kitty said "he isn't stepping down..he just floated that to see who would bite...and we bit"
It's an aight show. Nothing really happening here that was unexpected. By now we should all understand how deep the corruption is embedded into politics. It's still interesting to watch how it all transpires. The shit they do in the course of their daily operation is more criminal than anything any drug organization or other crime outfit has ever done. Yet not only don't they do any time, but they can actually get YOU to do time instead. Wouldn't be surprised if Kane's daughter's man is the one who takes the fall for killing Ezra Stone and the ex-employee. The PR cat who lost his ears is already the only one gonna do any time behind all this. They might make him the fall guy too
Also, don't know if cats recognized (or even care to recognize) that when the chips were down and Kane had to go district to district to reach out to the "Ward bosses" not one of them cats was a brotha (nor were any of them women). In fact, the only brotha holding any kind of title at all was Ross and he was too jacked up emotionally to do shit (except get himself arrested and probably thrown out of office....and maybe put in jail). Last week Kane pimped slapped the shit out of his high society wife and the next week she turning tricks for the guy on major power brokers. In contrast, Ross can't even manage the one woman in his own house. Showing himself to be totally incapable he can't even speak much less think. Guess he figured the whole thing fell apart anyway, but damn he could've played it much smarter than he did, I don't care how fine his wife is.
Only women Kane shows even an inkling of respect for is his daughter. Bigger and better pimp than Vic Mackey ever was

They should have Boss on Sunday, but not during the Breaking Bad/Game Of Thrones/Dexter months...and when there's no football. Monday would be a good night also. Friday's a bad night
Mario Van Peebles directing is sort of annoying with the ill timed close ups
@him pimping out his wife...dude notices everything. I noticed he wanted to tap that.
The Ezra shit shocked me, I thought his wife leaked the documents. Did he say he had been his adviser for 30 years?
@Ross

@Ross currently on episode 2 . Great show so far. Not reading this thread til i finish the season
i saw it....
it's cold in teh chi
I have no words...
I hate every single person on the show...
even his doctor is a selfish witch, further jeopardizing her son cause she got caught in something she NEVER should have been up in..
If she had called and said the journalist was bothering her from jump, he would have been dealt with and it would have been all good...
and how does she think snitching NOW going help after what they did to that spanish chick???
I dont agree but really the Mayor aint got no choice BUT to be ice cold in the jungle
watched the whole season in the last two nights. I love it. It's probably at it's core over the top but I'm sure every administration can relate to a bunch of situations Kane's group has. I also love how they don't get into actual political issues like abortion, taxes and the like. Grammar when the treasurer was begging for forgiveness = best scene of the season. Looking forward to next year season 2
Damn how did I miss this thread...I'll have to read it after I finish watching the series...I on ep 4...a lil slow so far but I really like the characters...either the show is a lil bit extra or I'm a lot naive...I knew politics was dirty but I didn't think it was so gangster @ the local level...the boys in DC is a diff story tho
I just seen that ep last nite
that was a fuckin "sonning" of epic proportion...that shit hit so fuckin hard he almost made his own ppl cry...his dude had to go into his office to get some time to himself that caretaker had a ridiculous fuckin body on her...but lemme gtfo out this thread for I fuck around and read a spoiler and shityeah, i had to stay away from this thread too...I just seen that ep last nite
On episode 4, quite entertaining. Finding it to be a good fill in after Boardwalk Empire.

Ya normally I'd marathon it but I'm take my time and watch like an ep every day or two
I've been on icefilms just looking another series to marathonOn episode 4, quite entertaining. Finding it to be a good fill in after Boardwalk Empire.
I can't get into Boardwalk for some reason....tried twice but can't latch on.
I like the league cause I like Curb Your Enthusiam and Fantasy Football, went thru that. Boss just now and need another show...Maybe I'll try Sunny in Philadelphia
Got 1 more ep to go but damn if dude ain't made some power plays to bawse his way back on top @ the dude going back to his office to get down on his knees and he gone make that nigga kneel overnite and here I was thinking I was a dick...I still too nice to niggas...gotta get my boss on in 2012
@ the dude going back to his office to get down on his knees and he gone make that nigga kneel overnite and here I was thinking I was a dick...I still too nice to niggas...gotta get my boss on in 2012 
I was skeptical about the "extraness" of this series myself til I just remembered a young black boy who was killed around my way...choked to death and thrown in a dumpster...rumor had it he was gonna end the career of someone who was tied to the mayor @ the time...ppl always had their suspicions...after watching this I'm sure that's how shit went down
