Blunt Talk

2015–2016 · 2 seasons

A brisk, bawdy backstage comedy where a pompous anchor's self-destruction is played for laughs, with a surprisingly tender core.

Tagline: America's most trusted newsman. Maybe.
Overview: A British newscaster moves to Los Angeles with his alcoholic manservant and the baggage of several failed marriages to host a sanctimonious talk show.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, addiction, ambition, identity
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
