Like all HBO series, running time varies. First episode was over an hour. Some will come it at 50 minutes.

Either was, a most excellent show. And Number 3 even tops Number 1. This is truly appointment television!

It deals with some of the politics of corporate news that most DUers are probably already aware. Hopefully, it will open some new eyes.
