Sujet : Boss
Via senscritique, je decouvre en ce moment la serie Boss.
The series follows Tom Kane, the mayor of Chicago, who has recently been diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disorder. Determined to remain in charge, Kane conceals the disease from everyone around him except his own physician, Dr Ella Harris. Those around Kane are too busy with their own lives to notice anything unusual. Kane's marriage to his wife Meredith is nothing more than one of convenience. Kane's closest advisors, Kitty O'Neill and Ezra Stone, begin to suspect something is wrong with the Mayor but respect him too much to ask any questions, while State Treasurer Ben Zajac is too busy cultivating his political ambitions to become the next Governor of Illinois to notice anything out of the ordinary. Kane's daughter, Emma, is the only one who suspects that something is wrong with her father. But does she know enough to uncover his secret and what will it mean for his political career?
C'est tres lent et tres politique comme serie, surtout dans la ville de Chicago (ville historiquement symptomatique de la construction du communautarisme US). Par moment, je lui trouve presque des accents de The Wire, a cause des different niveaux de lectures (politique), des implications et reactions imbriquees (journalistes/politiques/communication publique). Le defaut principale etant certainement le manque d'interet de certains personnages qui pourraient en donner plus (la fille du maire et sa femme entre autre...)
Et pour vous?
