Watched the first episode of Rake; that was one episode too many (show, actors)

Love Greg Kinnear, but this show is terribad; boring plot, bad writing, uninspiring actors, no chemistry. DVR'd the whole season and am about to delete it. Really surprised about how blah it was.

Really? We loved it. Broke, gambling lawyer with a hooker girlfriend, what else can you ask for?

Completely agree. Stock characters and situations. Zero originality. Made me wince.

Disappointing I haven't watched it yet, don't know if I will give it a try.

A good story line and interesting characters?

[phonelady61]

my husband liked it and I did nt go figure well anyways I will probably be subjected to it while he watches it UGH !!!!

[gentlearts]

Hubby and I both liked it. We'll watch it again. I'm a little uncomfortable with the main character's lack of character, but maybe he'll improve.

The guy's smart enough to be a lawyer but too stupid not to realize that gambling is going to destroy his life?

And, with all his stupidities, why hasn't he been disbarred?

I have absolutely no empathy with the main character so I have no desire to watch more - unless there's absolutely nothing else to watch.

I thought it was okay. Will only watch it again if there's nothing else on, and hope for marked improvements to be made.

I watched part of it but didn't care for it so found something else to watch.
