100The series is so pervasively cynical--and, by the way, brilliantly funny--it has the potential of making any viewer feel his or her life isn't so bad after all.

80House of Lies is giving him (and the rest of the actors) something fresh and different to devour, which makes it a show you need to consult with.
-
60Like many of Showtime's most cherished series, House of Lies can be annoying and entertaining at the same time.
-

8I have no idea why people does like the show. Its better than most shows that are on tv. Its really funny, compelling, smart and Cheadle is a beast.
