Customer Reviews
Too Real...
The premise is all too familiar. A President who is more about style, a country with oil problems, a fixation on TV and a $400 Billion Dollar debt. A great cast and interesting writing, plus music from the Beach Boys, Elvis Costello and Eddie Money. This and Idiocracy are signs that Life Imitates Art.
