Synopsis

Three young, struggling actors (played by three young, less-struggling actors) try to navigate the maze of agents, auditions and avarice that is Hollywood, frequently turning to their acting teacher for advice. As the title implies, the dialogue is mostly improvised, with situations based on the lives of the cast and creators.

johnr760 Hello,I liked the realism I felt in many aspects of the series such as the characters, dreams, situations, circumstances, interactions, naiveté, backstabbing, humor, melancholy, specific LA & NYC places, attitudes, minor successes, numerous failures, dis ingenuousness, personnel whims & proclivities, and a few more I just can't think of. I'm assuming the actor's class is somewhat typical, and if so, I felt it was done superbly. If it is not representative, then, what can I say? The acting was just great, couldn't be better.John Rawley
dqc_76 Unscripted is to aspiring actors ...instead of a show about the glitter, fame & fortune (e.g Entourage or anything on the E-Channel) or a bunch of pathetic, fame-starved everyday people trying to get 15 seconds (e.g. anything reality TV show in the major networks) ...HBO has brought us a hybrid reality show of what its really like to go into acting. the characters are never been heard of actors young and old, with a mix of some you've seen before and some you will never see again (all using their real names). the show follows the lives of the actors, and shows what its really like. its something every 16-yeard old kid that wants to be an actor should see (rather than watching the e-channel and hearing about how JLo made it). its gritty & shows how pathetic these people are (especially the people in the business). and its warning to people going into the business that probably wont be heard/observed ... kinda like Hoop Dreams
cedric_owl This is an unusual show in that, while it is fictional, the actors are actually playing themselves. Which is a little strange, since occasionally they don't portray themselves in a particularly positive light (one actress, for example, sleeps with her acting teacher).Nevertheless, the show is very well acted and directed. The style is unmistakably Soderbergh--hand-held camera, sound overlapping silent shots, etc. The show incorporates celebrity cameos in a very real, organic way, rather than being jokey about it. Overall, a compelling watch.Problem is, the subject matter is so old, that I can't imagine this show remaining fresh for more than a season. You mean, the life of an actor is extremely tough and often degrading? I had no idea! Especially because the show takes place in LA, rather than New York. In NY, actors at least do interesting things while their miserable. LA is all about going on auditions for bit parts on second-rate sitcoms, a life which I find so pointless that I have a hard time relating to people trying to "make it" in Hollywood.Who am I kidding? Like I won't watch it compulsively ...
Joey Daoud (coffeeandcelluloid) On the border of mockumentary and drama, Unscripted focuses on the lives of three struggling actors without the glamor and fake tension found in Hollywood or reality shows. The only connection between the three actors is an acting class they all attend, though they each go on their own acting endeavors.The struggling and determination of what the characters go through truly touched me. Unscripted records the odyssey these people go through to make it big, from numerous dead end auditions to making ends meet. Instead of the actors discussing the latest Hollywood flick they starred in, they converse about the latest walk on role they had or which show hired them as a stand in. It isn't as cut throat as Greenlight, and truly allows the viewer to get in depth with the character and feel the struggle they're going through.
