Review of Rake

Rake (2014)
8/10
Grows on you
21 February 2014
I love this show .. it grows on you ..... Keegan Deane is a complicated guy with a lot of loose ended relationships ... it seems. I'm still catching on to the characters and what's happening. Greg Kinnear is utterly charming, annoying, but charming. That's not easy to portray. The strong women around him make his failings more obvious. The women actually steal the show. The prosecutor on last night's show was a riot. Portrayed by Bess Armstrong. I thought her lines were some of the best given to a female attorney in a show ever.

I take issue with one reviewer's complaint about Greta Van Susteren "product placement." The reviewer says Greta's show is about made-up scandals because people don't like the president being black. Wake up. He's gotten elected twice. "The people" have no problem with him being black. FoxNews, conservatives, et al, don't like his POLICIES. So drop the "black problem." We're so far beyond that in 2014, just drop it already. It's the lamest argument ever. Further, Keegan is exactly the kind of guy who would want to be a pundit on a show like Greta's, that's the point, and that's why it's funny.
