McMurphy If you have the same politics as the writer; if you don't mind him injecting his political positions every chance he gets; and if you don't mind him using your entertainment as a median to express his 100% partisan personal politics, you may like this show.It's amazing the extent of which the writer uses every opportunity he can to let viewers know where he stands on all the major political issues (abortion, religion, global warming, gay marriage, etc.), AND greatly disparage the other side in the process.(I'm not talking about satire. I'm talking about overt statements that are clearly not meant to be funny, just statements).The thing is, I AGREE with SOME of the writer's politics, and where his political enemies are being foolish. I just can't stand the writer using the dialogue of what could be a great show to let us know where he stands, and how much he loathes the other side.Great shows that do politics WITHOUT coming even close to taking advantage to the extent this writer does: The West Wing, House of Cards, & SNL.Sure, in the aforementioned shows, you can see which way the writers lean, but they're not using their position to take cheap shots and manipulate the audience.
Shopaholic35 OMG, this show is outrageously funny. I love seeing a different take on politics. Whether you want to admit it or not, there is definitely a lot of truth to this show. Politicians aren't gods they're normal people who believe they're gods and honestly it is probably more accurate then other shows on the subject.The cast is brilliant in their respective roles especially John Goodman as Gil John and Matt Malloy as Louis. They all play very stereotypical characters but they do it damn well. Everything they do is a contradiction and depends on public opinion. When they're not in the public eye you get to see the real them. It's refreshing.It's new, it's fresh, and it's definitely worth watching.
HelenMary This is a superb bit of television. Witty, funny, sharp, well acted (especially John Goodman), well produced and directed, everything. It is about four senators in their "house on the hill" away from their wives, for when they are in DC and their political and non-political shenanigans. It's an irreverent look at American politics but I would hazard a guess that it's not too far from the truth albeit with a smattering of hyperbole.Laugh out loud funny, yet with plenty of truisms and real soul, the Alpha House walks the fine line between adult-style frat house/coming of age and political "walk and talk" fly on the wall and doesn't mince it's words addressing matters of drugs, sex, racism, bigotry, religious intolerance and also putting new social media front and centre; Twitter is HUGE in this show as is Skype-type face-time, showcasing new problems that politicians face and ways they can address their constituents. It intersperses fiction with clips of real clips of Obama and committees on the Hill, and it pokes a bit of fun at far-right Republicans.Love this show, highly recommend it. Can't believe it's not had enough publicity!
pensman Everyone on this show is outstanding especially Goodman, Johnson, and Malloy. Consuelos is just a bit too stereotyped for my taste. John Goodman as a senator elected into office because of his past college coaching is a great good old boy who finds himself facing a younger challenger. And Malloy as the senator trying to get reelected by overcoming his wimp image is point on. Wrestling with Colbert is hysterical. And Johnson is doing his best as a senator trying to dodge ethics violations. Watching these three playing the political game is probably a bit too close to reality for some but this show is just as entertaining as Spacey's House of Cards. The main difference is while profanity abounds, nudity plays no role here so voyeurs will be disappointed. Consuelos is the typical Spanish playboy and for me the weakest of the four characters. But if watching the antics of our "real" Congress gets you frustrated, you can at least get some great laughs watching this show. And there is an interesting mix of guest stars to spice things up.
