My problem isn't just with Frank. It's with everyone. I haven't found one main character whom I find the slightest bit redeeming. The only characters in the show who seem decent to me are Christine and Zoe's boyfriend (can't remember his name right now), both minor characters. I hate everyone else. Spacey is great. I've liked him as a good guy and bad guy in a lot of things. I think this show is well acted all around; I just don't find the writing to be compelling in the least. Also, I can't stand the talking to the audience. What is this, Wayne's World?
