If you haven't watched the new TNT show TRUST ME, your missing out!
They bill it as "Mad Men for the rest of us." I was kinda skeptical at first, I mean I watch kind of a lot of TV, and I don't really need anymore new shows! But this one stood out and I am really getting into it. It stars Tom Cavanagh and Eric McCormack, as two friends that work at a Ad agency in Chicago, it not only does a really great job of getting the feeling of Ad work, but it brings some much needed laughs provided by Cavanagh, as Conner.
Another thing this show does very well, is brand placement. Something that is now the standard in movies and TV. But as a show about an Ad agency you cant do it without clients, smart move to not make up fake clients, they use real ones, and it does not go unnoticed. They have done a great job using them as background and not "whoring it out" like some brand placement strategies often tend to do.
Check it out.
I've considered watching it, but similar to your situation, I am rather selective of my television programs. Worth a watch, though? Maybe I'll have to give it a chance.
ReplyDeleteIt is worth a watch. Honestly. Give it a shot!
