Is tonight the premier? Anybody else interested in the show?

Premiered last night. Have it saved on the DVR.

Watched it earlier...pretty good start...def some graphic stuff

The first scene where you meet the brother is infuriating.. Yet I loved the first episode.

Yeah I was like...alright going to have a darker tone..also post wedding scene...

Enjoyed the first episode. 80 minutes went by fast.

Yup, you know that happens though, so it makes it realistic.

Less than impressed, half expected Barry to go to the restroom to retrieve a concealed gun taped to the toilet, if you know what I mean.

Unfortunately...interested to see where this series goes

I think it already started better than Breaking Bad... TBH :)

Caught the 2nd ep...pretty good

Anyone still watching this? I caught the first 2 episodes OnDemand over the weekend and while there's some character flaws (Barry's wife and son in particular), I'll probably try to catch a few more. Barry's SIL and niece are strikingly hot.

Yeah i've watched the 4 episodes that have aired...

It's not bad but still wondering where this will go

About to watch tonight's episode. I'm hooked. Something tells me that young Sammy's friend will not end well.

After epi 3 I had to wave the white flag. The one show worse than Ray Donovan.

I like this show but I think the producers may have a problem on their hands... The lead is just not as good an actor as the guy playing Jamal -- in fact he's awful IMO. They could really take this show in some interesting directions, but so far the main guy has been the weak link IMO.

I caught the finale...def hope they can get a 2nd season. So far the guy playing Barry is OK...I agree that Jamal is def carrying the show. Hoping it returns cause it ended on decently.

Agreed. A pretty solid summer filler show that I hope comes back.

I hate how that actor is portraying Jamal. He sounds like he is on an eternal drinking binge or he's a borderline narcoleptic .

The guy playing Jamal is the only decent actor on the show. They are all terrible, especially Barry's annoying kids. And the uncle general guy...beyond horrible. Not to mention the soldier's uniforms do not look authentic at all, they look more like Halloween costumes.

Despite all this I still watched the entire season for some reason and will likely keep watching.

LMAO

I've enjoyed it...not the best show by any means but im from the mideast so maybe why i have more interest than i typically would.

Jamal def is crazy and has zero control of himself

It's a great story idea, that's why I kept watching but poorly executed so far. This would have been an amazing HBO show.

Oh i def agree there...are there even other shows similiar to this?

Homeland is kind of sorta similar but way better. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.

Thanks I think I'll check it out...I heard someone from homeland was part of Tyrant?

I'm not sure about that, I haven't noticed any of the same actors at least.
