The Loudest Voice

The Loudest Voice is fine television, so much so, that it feels like something belonging on HBO. But because of its political messages and subjects it is bound to be victim of trolls and people of different political beliefs whos views cloud what really is.

Don't believe the negative press from insecure basement dwellers online - The Loudest Voice is an interesting look into the world of Fox News and great television all around.

I have just watched the first two episodes and really enjoyed the writing, the direction and the acting but particularly Russell Crowe as Roger Ailes you can tell that he took all of his nuances on and just engrossed himself in the role completely.

I highly recommend this show and as the title suggests Crowe should get an Emmy for this portrayal.

Don't be turned off by a few negative reviews that simply complain about liberal bias. This is a well-rounded show about one of the most influential people of the last two decades. I think it does a great job of showing his genuine love for his family, his country (or his own idea of America), his immense skill, confidence, and determination, while also shows his (very) dark side. I don't think it's biased when we know for a fact he abused women and created a whole new level of spin in the media (not saying there's none of that on the left) while also treating some of his employees badly. It's a great character study and a pretty good insight into the mind of conservative elites. Sorry, there are no car chases or gun fights, but it should entertain anyone with an interest in politics and modern media. I think Crowe is a shoo-in for an Emmy, and several others involved will probably get nominated as well.

Russell Crowe gains a quarter of a metric ton, loses a bushel of hair (he now has a toilet seat hairline), and rediscovers his acting chops! Built for comfort not speed. The scythe-sharp one-liners chortled by the rubenesque Crowe make this show a must watch. Well, along with strong support from Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts, and Seth McFartlane. The latter being an unexpected surprise. I'm sure he's quite humored by the parallels between the new and improved Crowe and Peter Griffin. They also nailed the white as plucked poultry complexion of Fox News as well. Back to Crowe though, easily his best since Romper Stomper. Which was also not unlike plucked poultry. Whether you interpret the show as satire, muckraking, the stone truth about Fox, or all of the above, it works. Keep eating, Crowe!

I literally have no words to describe the beauty of the actors they chose to play in this series. Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts, Sienna Miller, Seth MacFarlane. What else do you want to name this a GOLDMINE.

It feels like a movie but at the same time it's not a movie. There is so much tension you really can't follow if you don't love it from the beginning.
