New show on FX, Tuesdays I think.
About the return to Oman (?) of an American man who ran away from his royal family when he was young. He returns for a wedding and ends up being obligated to stay. His father is quite the dictator and his brother is a raping, murdering little bitch.
The pilot was good. Wishing it was HBO so we could see some T&A.

Re: Tyrant
T&A would be mild compared to some of the stuff that was "implied" on that show. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode.

Re: Tyrant
Wikipedia says it's the fictional country of "Abbudin". Using an actual country would probably be a party foul.
I actually thought the pilot kind of sucked.
His brother was very Uday Hussein in a predictable way. He's got the dark, secret (from his wife and kids, at least) past that'll start to come out, his son's a probable gay in a country that probably takes issue with that sort of thing...
I'll watch it again tonight, but I didn't think it was anything to write home about.

Okay, I'm fairly sure this show sucks nuts.
The only reason to watch is because his fucked up brother's wife is a total smoke show.
It's a compelling sort of idea, but it's just full of weaknesses through the first two episodes. Hoping it gets better.

Re: Tyrant
BTW, the brother's wife is an Israeli and the brother is an Christian Israeli Arab. The lead's an Englishman, I think.

Yep, the lead was going to be in a reboot of the Saint, as Simon Templer.baffled wrote:BTW, the brother's wife is an Israeli and the brother is an Christian Israeli Arab. The lead's an Englishman, I think.
The show is made in Israel.

Show's not really great. I'm still going to watch for the wife and daughter (Don't worry, she's 20. I checked IMDB)baffled wrote:Okay, I'm fairly sure this show sucks nuts.

this show has been relegated to background noise while I surf the web. It's better than channel surfing for other crap TV that I'm not gonna pay much attention to but that's about it.
