I didn't start this series until the middle of the second season and it blew me away. It is funny, tragic, sexy and gutsy all at once. I have been renting the first season to find out how the characters got to the second season, and it reminded me how much I loved the show since the break between seasons is way too long. By writing episodes and delivering a powerful performance week after week, Denis Leary proves here that he is more than just a comic, but a multi-talented artist. Also, I am very impressed with FX for having the guts to show this series without cutting it up and censoring the tough lives these characters inhabit.

I was truly impressed with this movie. It entertainingly told us how important our votes are. It was not heavy handed, but showed us how important each and every voice is. How anyone can run for public office and represent certain values. It showed us how ugly politics can get, the smear campaigns, the lying and payoffs. It is something many of today's voters are painfully unaware of. In this day of apathy, it is time for films such as these to be released and remind us of how wonderful this country is, and how important a single vote is. It is a personal right, a way of running our own government, something that is woefully ignored in today's filmmaking. Capra said it many times over in films such as "Meet John Doe" and "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" -- they were big hits. Hollywood -- it is time to do something right for our country!
