Brain Dead

Post by Badfellow »

I'm not normally a huge fan of political drama (or TV in general). But this one is entertaining, better than I was expecting, and it has a twist (which I will not spoil). The first episode aired Monday on CBS, so I suppose we'll see what sort of substance develops. Tony Shalhoub had a few priceless scenes as a boozing senator. There's also some dark humor in the backdrop and dialogue eluding to current political events. My guess is that it could be a good summer fling, assuming the network doesn't drag it it out too long (ie. Lost) or cut it off too short (ie. Jericho).

Caught the first episode and am torn. I like Shaloub a lot but when he tossed the booze he lost me. 50/50 I watch more unless super bored.
