bajaj-sahil The plot, acting and everything is hilarious and entertaining. I am surprised that they did not continue and ended it with just one season.
bandito Tim and Jack are a blast.great production and story.political comments all over.don't miss it.worth 9 +
gmaland2 This show has a lot going for it. Great writing, great casting, great story - what more can you ask for? It's hilarious, reminiscent of Dr. Strangelove in a way, but truly laugh out loud funny. It also is entertaining from a story-driven, action-packed level that works perfectly with all the humor. I love Tim Robbins' character: smart, insightful, almost earnest (he really would prefer we not blow up the earth), yet also, a hardcore womanizer and partier who breaks all the rules, risks everything, yet can win big in spite of it all. Jack Black is also great in The Brink. In spite of his general incompetence and ineptitude, he has tons of heart and manages to come through when it really matters. I cannot wait for season 2!
Ali Ashraf being from Pakistan and having the insight in to all that this show tells in this amazingly written script performed by such giants of actors, i am loving each and every minute of the show.....although i wish they could get some Pakistanis to play the roles instead of Indian Americans cos they ruin the urdu dialect but its tolerable cos i guess they can't find many Pakistani actors there...i would love to if given a chance :P nonetheless, every about the show rocks! The military and the political power struggles, the greed, the tribal people, the young generation...the writer has a very keen eye on the geo-socio-politico happenings of my juxtaposed nation. And then there is the rest of the world threatened by it. The entire political drama of Pakistan has been showcased in such a refreshingly light way. Hats-off to the entire team of this brilliance!
