Does Hollywood think that everyone is dropping the f bomb every other word at work?
I think they are nailing it, honestly. Reminds me of so many lawyers I've worked with and against.Rudyjax said:

Really. I didn't know lawyers at work used the f bomb every other word.Teddy Perkins said:I think they are nailing it, honestly. Reminds me of so many lawyers I've worked with and against.Rudyjax said:

I work in an even more white collar environment than this, and Fbombs are frequent all day.Quote:

Yes, all the ****ing time. The discovery conference was also accurate - lots of decisions in a case and trial are driven by spite for the opposing counsel. It's a lot of fun. That said, most all lawyers know how to turn it off in front of the judge and jury or in other professional settings.Rudyjax said:Really.

It doesn't bother me,but it just seems to me that they are like, well, we're on apple so we can use it.
TCTTS, do you use the f bomb all day long in your offices ?
You can bet they are said out loud many times daily in every DA office across the country. No, I'm not saying that everyone drops them in front of their boss in a conference room, depending on the audience and that boss's personality.Quote:

I've never understood the idea that scripted/fictional dramas are somehow supposed to mirror every detail of real life. When they've always instead depicted varying levels of heightened realities, in which Aaron Sorkin perfectly describes the dialogue as what people would say if they had an extra ten seconds to think about every line that came out of their mouths.
Not to mention scene length constraints… the amount of exposition that has to be eloquently doled out… the emotional check points that have to be hit, etc… it all adds up to an attempt to find the most economical way to tell a story, which often results in, say, things like arguments taking place in locations and in front of people they probably would take place in front of in real life. Also, in this particular case, the arguments, the language… those things help maximize the drama, and I personally can't imagine this show being as good with any of that stuff dialed down.
Think of it this way… documentaries are photographs, while scripted movies/TV are paintings. The entire aim of the former is accuracy, fidelity, etc, while the aim of the latter is more impressionistic, where reality is often bent to help arrive at a greater thematic truth. In other words, if you're looking for hyper-accuracy, go watch a true crime documentary. Or, better yet, go to your local courthouse and sit in on a real-life trial. Otherwise, IMO, this is some of the best writing/storytelling I've seen in a while, and I could not be more impressed with how emotional, economical, and well-structured it all is. It's damn near a masterclass so far, if I'm being completely honest.

It's so weird. I've read the book and seen the movie, but don't remember either.Sazerac said:
It already veered big time on a major plot point early on. It is a big change in how you look at the dead woman. Other than that it's generally following.
Really well done.
Def watch the movie after the series.
Definitely feels like when we get to the end, there's only going to be "maybe" one character who did it was well written.Quote:
Because, perosnally, I think the writing is so good, and the show moves/is structured so well, that I'm just along for the ride.
