Expert portrayal of greed/absurdity of high finance

See it if /for brilliantly capturing Mitt Romney's private equity world and the moral blindness and humor inherent in its testosterone-laden dynamics

Don't see it if /since portrays world in two dimensions (wall street/bad, main street/good)/characters with limited emotional range; predictably money wins

Entertaining, Great acting, Great staging, Intelligent, Thought-provoking

See it if you want to learn more about the finance world. The cast was amazing, and was great to see them all perform close up.

Don't see it if you don't like Claire Danes or John Krasinski or Hank Azaria who were amazing in the show.

Entertaining, Funny, Great acting, Great writing

See it if the writing is quite sharp and funny (in a dark and cynical fashion). intimate theater-in-the-round. slick set/direction. excellent acting.

Don't see it if you'd like a more nuanced or slightly more morally ambiguous female pro/antagonist character.

Cliched, Entertaining, Intelligent, Relevant, Thought-provoking

See it if you want a nuanced look at many current economic issues.

Don't see it if you can't see a work that doesn't present anyone who works in finance as a complete villain.

Cliched, Relevant, Absorbing, Great acting, Intelligent

See it if you understand the terminology and operations of hedge funds and venture capital and can follow staccato rendition of extensive dialog

Don't see it if you are unfamiliar with or not interested in finance, are not fluent in advanced English including financial terms or short attention span

Great staging, Banal, Intelligent

See it if you like seeing familiar faces in unfamiliar roles, like unique staging, or quick wit.

Don't see it if you're expecting fantastic performances or can't follow a very dense and wordy plot. Read more
