I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This isn't that bad, sheesh.

I'm still going to watch it, just completed ep 3 last night. It has my interest, despite its flaws.

The storyline with Ato Essandoh is by far the most (only?) interesting thing on the show.

It's so bad that skitch keeps watching apparently...

I'm still enjoying it. It's not great, but it's not that bad. I like the premise.

Oh, and Olivia Wilde full nudity this past episode sure makes up for a lot

"hot actress gets naked" is one of the worst cop-outs to enjoying a bad show.

I was enjoying it before that surprise.

But, I'm certainly guilty as charged of said cop out. So sue me

I also do this with the strain. If a show is Any good I have to watch it with my spouse. So if it's awful I just keep watching it because it's better than "I guess mythbusters is on"

I actually thought the last 2 episodes were pretty good. The ones before that ehhhh, but not unwatchable by any stretch. I'll see this thing through without too much trepidation.

this show simply feels like a few HBO execs were in the room, surrounding a large Gateway computer, reading an article about the resurgence of vinyl sales and thought, "Let's make a show about vinyl."
