riveralex Tim Robbins, Jack Black and Jerry Weintraub brought this superb satirical series, created by Roberto and Kim Benabib, to the screen via HBO. It ran one season, was renewed, then suddenly cancelled because "they could not do it justice," which may mean that it was expensive. (Well, yes, there are a lot of planes.)A "Dr Strangelove" for the new millennium, this pacey, dark political farce fairly rips across the screen. It's superbly written, beautifully cast, and artfully performed by everyone from its stars to its bit players (though I feel that Aasif Mandvi, Pablo Schreiber and Eric Ladin deserve special mention.) I cannot recall ever laughing so hard at anything, or seeing Cabinet in-fighting illustrated so credibly and outrageously.Now that we Americans have a President who could never have got the part via Central Casting, I fear that The Brink's apocalyptic take on politics and antics at the highest levels may be closer to the truth than we would ever want it to be.When the End of Days is upon us, it'll be a shame that we won't be able to go out watching at least three seasons of The Brink. Boo to whoever made this decision, because this show is a classic and deserved better.
billandbonnie I am mostly writing this review so that i can give "The Brink" 10 stars. This is the best television I've seen in a long time. Every character is wonderful and unique, no clichés. A plot with so many twists it's like one of the Sidewinder missiles. Almost the entire script could be put in IMDb's "Quotes" section. Well, the closest thing to a clichéd character is Jack Black himself, who plays the narcissistic self centered buffoon he usually plays. But hey, if it works, go for it. I could go on and on, but I'm not good at writing reviews and am doing this only to give it ten stars, so, hey, watch it, can't wait til next season comes out.
ehavard Satire is a dish only served well-done for it to work. And the boy's at HBO (Kim Benabib & Roberto Benabib) have done just that! From the first 60 seconds of the first episode I have not stopped laughing at what is hurting this world so much! Jack Black has always been a few shy and we all love him for it, but I had no idea that Academy Award winning actor Tim Robbins could ever be so funny! With roles like his in my all time favorite SyFy movie "Code 46" not to mention movies like "The Shawshank Redemption", and "Jacob's Ladder" that his portrait of Secretary of State Walter Larson, a sex crazed, no brain-mouth filter deep down good guy who has had too much to drink most times is so out-of-pocket that it is such a joy just to hang on for the ride! With all the racial, social, sexual, and political land minds they dance on each and every show, not one has been off color. Once again, waiting for Sundays and HBO is back on the menu!
mozgers Well it is probably because i studied international relations and politics at collage i find this show entertaining. Jack Black is one of my favorite musician so that was a bonus for me. Best part is all political dialogs are well written with lots of hidden information in them and people who are having this conversations are doing it in an informal way. Aside from pilot part all the political riff raff is lot of fun if you are interested in eastern politics. If you are not into that kind of stuff this show will probably bore you to death. I'm glad someone took politics down to a comedy level because people tend to get very tense about it. It is safe to say whole show is a parody of world politics. Fun to watch, Jack Black is Jack Black as always doing weird stuff and all. If you like all these above you are probably waiting for the next episode already
