Devin Chopra Was just channel surfing Prime and came across it, Nick Nolte has been my favorite to I thought I will watch the pilot - finished both seasons in 2 days.Excellent series - looking forward to watching the 3rd season.

SnoopyStyle Former Republican President Richard Graves (Nick Nolte) is adored by his supporters, and reviled by almost everyone else. He starts to have doubts about his legacy. His wife Margaret (Sela Ward) is looking to run for office. Isaiah Miller (Skylar Astin) is his true-believer new body man. His daughter Olivia (Heléne Yorke) has a broken marriage. His son Jeremy (Chris Lowell) is bitter after four years in the army. Sammy (Callie Hernandez) is the new waitress at his local diner who opens up his eyes to a new outlook.Nick Nolte sorta works as this burnt-out former man of power. He has the demeanor. The varying cast around him mostly work as individual characters. It's the interconnections and the plot writing that often falls down. The waitress is an odd character to get sucked into his world. She needs to be tied to the family a lot more securely. At a certain point, there are too many recurring characters. It needs to work on the relationships between the main characters. I like all the actors and Nolte does his good standard gruffness. The plot does keep drifting which gives the show an unhelpful instability.

eric-marcus I'm really enjoying this show, I think Nick Nolte is fantastic and the rest of the cast getting better and better as the roles expand and the story-line becomes more convoluted. Sadly, I think Ernie Hudson is under-utilized, as usual, hopefully this can change and we get to see more about "Uncle Jacoob's" service to the Graves family over the years.My favorite so far is ep 5, "Lions in Winter". Great quotes from Shakespeare's "King Lear"!Roll on season 2!

Jonas Ramsland I usually like political satire shows, and this in a way is a great satire with a nice touch. Nick Nolte, which I never though much as an action actor, surprised me with a great performance. I had to watch the first episode twice to really appreciate the humor and Mr. Noltes performance. The rest of the cast is doing, OK, but it's Mr. Noltes performance that really shine in this show, as he should do of course. (Just that it's not every time that the lead star manages to do that though.) In short: Funny show, with political satire. Best performance of Nick Nolte so far in his career.
