Couldn't find a thread from last year but I think a few people mentioned in other threads they were watching it.

S2 starts tonight on Atlantic, but is its available now on Sky Anytime. I watched it last night, pretty good, but didn't really have the laugh out loud moments from the first season.

I have found that with a few S2 shows this year. House of Lies and The Newsroom are both not as good as S1. House of Lies is trying to become too serious and loosing a lot of the puerile humor.

I've got it set to record.
Still enjoy House of Lies, but as you say it isn't quite as "whacky" as it was.

I noticed that the first episode was directed by "Christopher Morris" and wondered whether it's Chris Morris of Brasseye fame. He has certainly worked with Armando Iannucci in the past.....

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is utterly MILF-tastic.

EDIT: Yup, looking at Wikipedia, it is indeed Chris Morris. And Eps 2-5 are directed by Chris Addison, who was Ollie in The Thick of It.

Jobs for the boys then!

Yes she looks exceedingly good for her age. Apart from a more mature hair cut she has hardly aged since Seinfield.

She is even more attractive ( if you are shallow like me ) due to the fact that she is the daughter of an energy tycoon. She is conservatively worth at least $3 billion , and is perhaps the richest person in Hollywood and the Media. She's worth a lot more than Seinfeld.

It’s a bit of Office/US Office with a bit of West Wing’s fast dialogues and a bit of Curb Your Enthusiasm humour.

I love it.

‘"Not great, admittedly"? Yeah, that should be the title of my fking memoir.’ Selina Meyer.

LOL.

Heads up Sky Atlantic is showing the whole series again from season 1 episode 1, starting tonight at 10pm (or catch it at +1).

One of the best comedy series in recent years.
