Re: Political Animals

If you're doing something wrong, then so am I because I LOVED that show. It was SO good. Everyone is majorly flawed, and it was just so interesting to see the lives of a political family. Elaine was so cool and badass. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat! I know it's fictional, but it was just nice to see women in politics, particularly one who tried her hardest to actually do her job.

Also, I just liked the dynamics/relationships of everyone. Admittedly, Sebastian Stan was the reason I started watching PA, but I stayed for the story.

I am very sad that it was never picked up for another season. :(

For real. As for me, I still can't believe a character like her didn't become iconic the moment she landed on tv.

I'm curious, did it have another season? The ending of course was a bit sad because it was like a beginning unfairly cut off, but I felt it left me quite content. They managed to wrap it up in a lovely way.

I also started watching because of Seb Stan, but couldn't stop watching because of all the other reasons.

AYRT It was written as a mini-series but had potential to get more seasons. USA decided it would stay as a mini-series.

I'm glad the series was sort of wrapped up, but I wanted more. I wanted to actually see Elaine run, and beat Collier's ass!

I'm not alone!

No but really, I wonder what happened to make it pass under the radar so much. It had good actors, good writers, it was well directed and had good photography.

It had all the cards to be a winner, and it didn't. I wonder about these shows, there's such crap on tv, and then there are such slow and pretentious, if beautiful, shows like True Detective... and this one couldn't make it? They probably didn't push it enough, no other reason to fail so much.

And another part of me thinks a reason is the lack of lead make characters. And that doesn't make me very happy.

AYRT

I totally believe it was because both leads were female. It's such a shame because they were both awesome, and they're dynamic was interesting to watch.

I think another reason was that this show got NO press from USA. Jerks. First they don't advertise for this show and then they decide not to pick up Happy Endings. :(
