Boss on Starz

still think you cant have THIS MANY scumbags on one show:smh:

But shit.. most r here n my city! They aint nothing scumbags..

are there politicians that aren't?

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...

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.
 
That shit had me like :eek:.

That's one of the craziest shit I've seen on tv.


It's subtle, but gangster at the same time.

:lol: The dude handed him his own ears!

He put that shit in the trash dispenser :lol:. Kelsey was killing it.
this.........
 
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.

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

"Boss" (2011) :: Ratings

I was just reading this article from November 7th about the ratings. Do you think the ratings are low because it's on Friday night when many people are out? I tout this show to everybody I meet, but have yet to come across a person who is already watching it.

To me, it's the best show on television and Kelsey Grammer is absolutely marvelous as Kane.

Kelsey Grammer may be doing some of the best work of his career on Starz’ Boss but unfortunately, not a lot of folks are seeing it. The drama’s original episode on Friday only averaged 268,000 viewers — down 31% versus the week before, when it lured 391,000.

The show repeated at 10 and took in an additional 131,000, which is down 52% versus the week before when it averaged 274,000.

Starz has already renewed Boss for a second season before the first one started, a move that doesn’t always turn out well. The drama stars Grammer as the surly mayor of Chicago who privately suffers from a debilitating neurological disorder. Stay tuned.

Found this on imdb
 
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

:lol:@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?

:lol:@Ross

Its a show.

My God.
 
i saw it....:smh:



it's cold in teh chi


:eek::eek::eek:​


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:smh:
 
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

yeah, i had to stay away from this thread too...
 
On episode 4, quite entertaining. Finding it to be a good fill in after Boardwalk Empire. :yes:
I've been on icefilms just looking another series to marathon
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 :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: @ the dude going back to his office to get down on his knees and he gone make that nigga kneel overnite :lol::lol::lol: and here I was thinking I was a dick...I still too nice to niggas...gotta get my boss on in 2012 :lol:
 
word? so politicians have men who go around injecting people and threatening them?

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
 
holy shit!!!
that was maybe the most ruthless 15 minutes I've seen on film

mayor hurt dudes so bad they were weepy eyed and choking back tears!! leaving dudes in offices on their knees over night... damn

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
