Anyone going to watch this? New comedy about management consultants. It premieres tonight on Showtime at 10. It stars the stellar combo of Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell, so I'm hoping the show itself can live up to that. |

Kristen Bell is in it, so I'm there. |

The pilot was decent. There wasn't nearly enough Kristen Bell but I've heard she gets more to do in subsequent episodes. It really picked up once Anna Camp ("True Blood") showed up. Her guest spot was so random and hilarious (especially her outburst at the restaurant) that it made up for the rest of the episode's faults. |

Yeah, I know she was on "The Good Wife" too but I remember her mainly for her work on "True Blood" and "Glee," and her cameo in The Help. |

The pilot was decent, although the sheer number of unlikable people doing/saying unlikable things was a little much to be presented with immediately. I've never thought of Don Cheadle as someone with much sex appeal but he definitely had it here. And I think this will be a good role for Kristen Bell, assuming they give her more to do than being the "saintly voice of reason." The biggest complaint I had was probably the "freezing the action" gimmick. Breaking the fourth wall like that is so overused and it happened too many times in this episode for my liking. |

The show is too "cool" for its own good. Bell really is the only reason to keep watching. |

Ugh, this show frustrates me. I wish they would give Kristen Bell more to do, she's the only reason I'm still watching. |

Sigh. Another episode where I wish Kristen Bell was pumped up to the main lead on this series as I literally don't pay attention to anything else that happens. |

http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/trio-jo ... e-of-lies/ Why do the best people join this shitty show?  Now I have to catch up because of Eliza Coupe.

Alright. I hadn't started House of Lies yet which I was only interested in for Kristen Bell, but now that Eliza Coupe is joining the cast I'm going to have to. She was so brilliant on Happy Endings. |

If it's so bad how is it still on? It seems to do well in the ratings. |

I made it about halfway through season 2. Still have to finish it. It does definitely get better after the mediocre-to-awful first couple of episodes. But with the talent involved it should definitely be much better. |

Watched the first 6 episodes. I think it's very solid. Maybe that's just because I love Kristen Bell and she's great on it. But I do enjoy it. |
