Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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.

lolatengo I wasn't impressed with the first half of the pilot, but decided to keep watching. Now we've watched 9 episodes and can't wait for the next one.I'm trying to figure out why so many people don't like this show. I can understand that some people will just not find it funny, and that's perfectly fine.But after reading a number of reviews online, it seems that some people are upset that "The Brink" makes Americans look foolish. Others seem to think that it is a right-wing fantasy, which is comical given Tim Robbins' outspoken politics. Then there are people on the left who seem to think that it stereotypes Pakistan. Others don't like that there is no obvious hero to identify with, as almost everyone in the show is flawed. Someone said there are too many Jesus jokes. Yikes people, you need to lighten up.Although much of the humour is broad, there are lots of subtle jokes and comments. For example, I think it's hilarious that there is such widespread drug use; each social class has its favourite substance to abuse. Apparently, this kind of social commentary will bother sensitive viewers though.The acting is excellent, particularly Tim Robbins. I think the writing is fantastic, apart from a few really childish jokes.So, give it a chance. Make sure you watch past the first episode, and hopefully you will be rewarded for your patience.

fishdo I ain't into production values or acting prowess etc... I just judge a programme or series on whether I enjoy it or not... the satire is an added bonus but understanding it all isn't necessary for enjoyment...and whether its biting enough makes no difference either ... to me anyway.. maybe that dumbing down as a satire as some mention is satirical in itself and more a reflection on the viewers themselves..I am not sure how many episodes there are left now as I type and hopefully it will end as well as it has developed...This is one series I do enjoy and at the end of each episode I always look forward to the next...Overall its worth some investment of your time and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone...

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
