    Shame on HBO for bowing to government pressure

    Clever, very, very funny, insightful, instructive and addictively entertaining. So, why did HBO not renew for a second season? Hmm. I wonder.

    Best New HBO Series

    I am having the best time watching "The Brink." It's a funny, clever, fast moving half hour of t.v. If you're not paying attention, you'll miss so many great lines. Tim Robbins is hysterical as Secretary of State. Reminds me of Charlie Wilson; womanizer, drinker, but smart as heck. Jack Black is not my favorite comedian but he is winning me over in this series. John Larrouquette plays the fanatical religious ambassador to perfection. Pablo Schreiber is a lovable screw up. I don't think of Esai Morales as a comedic actor but he plays comedy really well. I could go on and on about each character so I'll conclude with this. Each and everyone of their performances knocks it out of the park. I applaud the writers of this great show. If this series is not picked up for a second season, I'll be terribly disappointed.

    Seriously Fun

    It has been an exceedingly rare quality in people I have met in my more than half century of life who do not enjoy laughing. Whenever I have met someone incapable of freely indulging in one of the healthiest of human expressions, I have experienced a deep sympathy for whatever it is inside them that has been so badly broken. I believe most emotionally healthy people feel similarly about those poor souls who cannot for the life of them, allow their polished and fragile veneer become softened by levity. I believe the sheer volume of comedies produced throughout the world of entertainment television stands as a testament to this fundamental human need to cope with a world so seemingly beyond reason.

    Every season it seems we are presented with a plethora of choices to placate this critical bone in our anatomical coping mechanism. Every season we find almost all but a few of these attempts at tickling our spirits fade away into forgotten obscurity. Given the sheer number of comedy shows network stations churn through on an annual basis, one can only imagine how high the number is which comprises the sum total of efforts at succeeding in this venture. It is stunning to realize upon reflection, just how few actually succeed beyond mere survival as a viable production spanning years of business success.

    Upon surveying the landscape of comedic offerings throughout the decades, one cannot help but be stunned by the shockingly rare few which manage to transcend transiently entertaining humor which placates our humour needs beyond the duration of its production run and survives as legendary comedy for decades. This is not to say that there have not been successes which continue to find new audiences through the churning of rerun programming, only that few of the many offerings stand as a testament to comedy greatness that are celebrated long after the creators and cast members have departed our plane of existence.

    Sure, there are many clever offerings which embed themselves within niche market demographics to live on in the hearts of those for whom that show finds appeal. There exist an exceedingly sparse number however which manage to combine enough of a range of comedic elements to surprise and delight audiences across demographic boundaries. A show like M.A.S.H. for example, is the sort of comedy masterpiece which manages to remain relevant and funny long after the issues and sensibilities of the day spawned its creation.

    I believe The Brink has managed within only a few episodes to demonstrate a potential to achieve this stratospheric class of legendary status. It serves up a delectable mix of both intelligent insight into the issues of our day while treating them with the sort of timeless irreverence that pushes an audience beyond mere chuckles and into rip roaring laughter. It is a combination of a critique into the sorry state of today's global political environment and the sort of zaniness which stops short of being tirelessly repetitive slapstick.

    The large cast of characters comprise many well known stars who have entertained us with both laughter and heart-wrenching drama for decades. Perhaps it is this mix which adds to the dimension offered by the show but it never lets us as an audience, to wallow in the gravity of a premise based upon a widely expected and feared ultimate conflict between nations. The Brink is about a series of events occurring across the globe in a semi-stable, semi-democratic nation taken over by a coup which sets off a chain of events to threaten our world with a global war. No topic could be more serious to us a species struggling to establish a global form of social stability than this fundamental fear we all share. Not once however, are we as an audience concerned with the sheer volume of acts of stupidity engaged in by the various characters as they face crisis after crisis; and many due to their own ineptitude, negligence, or sheer myopic vision. We simply shake our heads and speculate on how remarkably accurate some of the scenes might be in rendering what feels otherwise like plausible scenarios - at least in the sense that the events themselves are credible. The reactions of and interactions between characters however represent a form of lunacy which could not occur in the manner they do if these were real people facing real life situations and I believe this contrast between deadly seriousness and cartoonish behaviour is what lends itself to a concoction of humour rife with potential for years to come. In some ways, this blend reminds me of the early years of M.A.S.H's run and its subject matter certainly does lend itself toward introducing moments of poignant gravity which we have yet to experience, and which I believe if done properly, can establish this show as a socially transformative masterpiece in a similar way.

    I am certainly not looking forward to being hammered with an object lesson in the penitent state of our global politics because I am enjoying the feeling of laughing out loud to a comedy in ways I rarely have an opportunity to do. I do note however, that an unrelenting diet of insanity can overwhelm the senses in a way which makes the experience of being an audience member one that can begin to feel repetitive. I think we are far from being in danger of this happening because the stage has only begun being set in these first few episodes while the raunchiness has been steadily increased in a measured manner to leave much room at the top of the dial before breaking the red line into the danger zone of ridiculous.

    Of all the comedic offerings I have seen and enjoy, this is the only one to grab my attention on the day of its release and leaves me panting for more.

    I really liked the first two episode, i think it is a good start .. the script looks strong and funny in most of the scenes..

    So weird i loved the first two episodes,, the minute i'v read the reviews i was so scared even to watch the pilot , but the series is way far from those bad reviews, The Series is organized, the plot is smooth and easily understandable and the dialog is fast in a tense intriguing way ... the screenplay seems to be strong and tightly written considering the shortage of experience of Kim Benabib and only with 14 episodes of Weeds written by Roberto Benabib the script turned out unexpectedly connected and catchy.

    The script or let me be more general .. the story basically revolves around three characters; the naive careless low level state department employee Alex Talbot with his dream to be a CIA operative , Walter Larson who seems rational and thoughtful on the table but also a drinker sex-addict and mouth full of "bad" comments and finally Zeke Tilson the drug-addict fighter pilot who always needs the combination of money and drugs to keep himself sane on the Jets-Reg ... see all of those three have a mission to stop world war 3 from happening... in a funny but thrilling development of events the series looked really strong.

    As for the cast, well the threesome of Jack Black, Tim Robbins and Pablo Schreiber works amazingly here in a dumb, sarcastic but dreamy funny way.

    So Overall, the series really caught my attention in the those first two episode ,, it is a comedy based on fictional so i think people who say its full of Zionist propaganda should just chill out a bit and i do think it has a bit of "Veep" in it but i believe it is a good thing for the show, i mean who doesn't love Veep but now with a different story and different characters.

    Brutal satire that makes me come for more

    This show is not for the fainthearted or those who get offended easily.

    I would consider it more a satire than a comedy as it deals with a very sensitive and frightening topic in a "goofy" manner. The characters are not "trying" to be funny, they are just exaggerated stereotypes which, mixed with the situations they are thrown in, can cause a few chuckles and a couple head shakes. The producers are definitely bold without being vulgar or condescending, so far... That said, it is very graphical and uncensored.

    The way the show is filmed really puts you in the action with the characters and add to the experience.

    The actors are all very good in their roles. Tim Robin plays an excellent perv Secretary of State and Jack Black's performance is toned down but still very enjoyable. I also like the way the Pakistani family is portrayed.

    All in, I really got hooked when I first saw the preview and the show did not disappoint. Through their personality flaws, the characters still manage to get things done and I just can't wait to see the next episode.

    With some of the lame shows out there, I find this one very refreshing and I hope they will stick to their plan and finish it right instead of selling out until it's not worth watching anymore.

    You should at least give it a try.

    Enjoy. E.

      Though the F/A-18 is primarily known as a single seat fighter/attack aircraft the use of the two seat model in front line combat is well known. The current model F/A-18F Super Hornet is a two seat aircraft with the second seat occupied by a Weapon Systems Officer (WSO). Therefore Glenn is a necessary partner to Zeke on the aircraft.
