Trust Me: Good or No-Good?
April 9, 2009
We were pleased to see another TV show about what we do at RJA: Advertising. With the success and high drama/pure fun of MADMEN, we were expecting another amazing depiction of the advertising world. The new TV show is called Trust Me and stars Eric McCormack of Will & Grace fame. In the beginning we at RJA were hyped about the show and were very excited while watching the first couple of episodes…that excitement didn’t last very long. While the show is nice to look at and slickly produced, and the content/writing isn’t bad, it was the characters that really rubbed us the wrong way. Ironic, whiny, silly, dorky, too cool, cocky, nerdy…. too many cliches to get into. The point is, we think they tried WAY TO HARD to make these characters interesting. It failed. We’ll wait for MADMEN and hope that in our next new business meeting we’re not expected to act like fools, aka,
Trust Me characters.
Trying too hard. Nice Jackets, though
