I love watching business-related movies and when I heard that the 'Game Of Thrones' version of business would reach our small screens I was obviously going to watch it.
I am going to keep this short - this show is good. It centres on a family of power-hungry individuals in a firm with many many issues. Without spoiling even the first episode, the general plot of the show is interesting and it gives us a great insight as to the inner workings of this family of wolves. The characters themselves are well laid out and they each have a role to play in the overall plot without making it seem forced. Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong are obviously the key characters and I think their opposing natures make this brilliant to watch. A couple of the characters are a bit over the top, even for a TV show (Shiv being the key one I take issue with).
The issue is that some sub-plots tend to be a bit formulaic. For example, needing to hide some evidence as to the illegal workings of a company, or the company being in debt and needing to figure out how to repay the creditors. The other issue is that the end-points for these sub-plots are somewhat predictable and their resolution isn't exactly a surprise.
Overall, I am enjoying this TV show so far and look forward to the twists and turns that are in store for us. If you enjoy watching business-related movies, or just something that makes you feel better as a person, watch this...now (i promise i am not the boy who cried wolf!).
