I'm a massive fan of Jonathan Ames, and when I saw that he was collaborating with Seth MacFarlane I just had to watch. I loved 'Bored to Death' and was hugely disappointed when it was cancelled. I wondered if US tv networks only employ tasteless idiots! However, their choice to screen 'Blunt Talk' surely disputes that idea? Definitely! This show is laugh out loud funny. Some of the dialogue appears to have been lifted directly from Ames early literature, and reflects the proclivities and idioms of characters from his books, and, despite this repetition, it is truly entertaining. If you like anything that differs from the norm and banal, then you will surely enjoy watching this show, as much as Patrick Stewart obviously enjoyed acting in it!
