    This feels like a show written by ad guys. Not by guys who know how to write long format. There's no reason for me to connect with these characters either, where as in Mad Men, the characters deal with universal truths and struggles. Mad Men is less about advertising and more about the psychology of a man/men and woman/women in the late '50's - early '60's. I hate the characters in Trust Me because there's nothing real about them. Even jerks have something inside that makes them that way. These guys are just acting. And maybe the one thing we hate worse than ad guys are actors pretending to be be ad guys and not coming across as believable. Expand

    Drama? Comedy? Maybe the show will get better when they decide which they're doing. Right now, it's lean on plot to be a drama—mostly hyperactive interactions between McCormack & Cavanaugh—but they're not funny enough to be good comedy. Also, is somebody going to give the blond girl something to do at some point, or is she just going to continue to hover with no real purpose, contibuting nothing? Expand

    There was nothing positive about this show. It was long and drawn out.

    Best show on TNT. A nice break from all the Cop drama. Better than Mad Men IMHO.

    The series is almost watchable with the glaring exception of Tom Cavanaugh's portrayal of Connor. In a word, he is TERRIBLE, completely unbelievable as the "rebel copywriter." He's too old and too whimpy. A few other characters are pros -e.g. the agency CEO. I tried FFing through Cavanaugh scenes but there are too many.

    As it is, Trust Me, which perks along energetically but lacks emotional heft, may be one of those shows that stacks up on my TiVo, along with other shows I don't get around to viewing.
  2. Mainly, underneath the sitcom setups and witty banter, this show moves to the pulse of the ad game. The mystique and power of raw ideas push this story as surely as they push the characters of "Mad Men."

    The series isn't bad. It just isn't all that good.
