Blunt Talk

Blunt Talk

Departing a little bit from network TV, Sony screened for us Starz latest comedy series Blunt Talk airing on August 22nd 2015. Starring Patrick Stuart (Yes, Captain Jean Luc Picard), and produced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) this raunchy comedy follows the life of a British newscaster named Walter Blunt. He is a fish out of water, living and working in Los Angeles with his very own alcoholic manservant. 

Im going to go out on a limb here and make a bold comparison. Think of this as Starz answer to VEEP but a very dirty version.

Patrick Stuart is bold, crass but at the same time you feel a little sorry for him. While he is not relatable, you get drawn in by the innocence of his vulgarities. 

If you like twisted humour then this show is for you. But be warned, you do need to give it two episodes to give you the momentum - one is simply not enough.
