80Sharp-tongued, ambitious, highly seductive--a TV series that has, it can be said, done the job.
-
70As these things go, The Job is rather mild-mannered and amiable--everyone is on their best behavior, because there is no advantage in being nasty.
-
60There are so many twists and arbitrary rules to the competition that it can certainly be disconcerting for viewers.
-
75The Job, with Lisa Ling as host, is taped in front of a live audience, which keeps it from being too downbeat. The interviewers are honest but encouraging, and even those who are eliminated are told precisely why and given advice about other opportunities.
-
50You’ll be able to spot the front-runner and eventual winner probably 10 minutes into the show.
-
40While it's all meant to be aspirational, it's more desperation-al watching these professionals jump through hoops for our entertainment.
-
10The real problem with the show--besides its exploitative and sad premise--is how slow it is.
-
20Five contestants face a potential employer in a ridiculously tarted-up competition format that results in a job offer for one of them.
-
50It’s just a big billboard spotted with interesting advice tidbits and, of course, tears.
-
70Mostly, The Job plays like a clever throwback to TV's youth.
