Movie Reviews of K Street - The Complete Series

Movie Review: must have for political junkies
Summary: 5 Stars

K street reminds me of the pain I suffered when HBO cancelled "John from Cincy" after just one season.

This is a great show for political junkies of all stripes since it is inside the beltway from both sides of the aisle.

You have to remember that this show was in production during all of the events it depicts and that it interacted with the political scene in a very post-modern way.

Some stuff from the show made it into the political debate and vice versa and it is often hard to tell what is scripted, what is not, if it is a real or fiction, etc.

--in one famous incident, Howard Dean actually used a line from the show in a debate!

Carville and Matalin are great, and every politician/lobbyist/lawyer plays their role well too...

I loved this show when it was on HBO and I just got the DVD and felt the same way.

My girlfriend--who has worked in politics her whole life--had never heard of the show and she was enthralled with the depiction of life in DC.

If you are at all a fan of Soderburgh and like his style as depicted in "Traffic," you will love this series.

Summary of K Street - The Complete Series

K STREET is an experimental fusion of reality and fiction--an entertaining, fly-on-the-wall look at government, filmed in and around the corridors of power in Washington. The series ventures inside the world of powerful political consultants--a world that few people ever experience first-hand. Produced on location in Washington, D.C., the largely improvised ten-episode series combines fictional characters with appearances by real-life political figures, all centered around the biggest political news of the week.
What a weird and wonderful creature is this thing called K Street. Named after Washington, D.C.'s "fourth wing" of political power and coproduced by George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh, this beguiling, problematic HBO series ran for only 10 half-hour episodes, each aired immediately after blistering five-day production schedules during which Soderbergh, as director, editor, and videographer (under his nom de camera, Peter Andrews) combined fact and fiction within Washington's corridors of power, casting savvy actors alongside real-life D.C. power brokers, journalists, lobbyists, and political consultants. The result is one of the most unusual hybrids in television history, in which top-drawer consultants (and bipartisan celebrity couple) James Carville and Mary Matalin work for a fictional firm run by a reclusive billionaire (Elliott Gould), where they must endure FBI scrutiny for doing business with a Saudi organization that might be a front for terrorists. As this crisis approaches meltdown, Soderbergh's fly-on-the-wall approach (first tested in Traffic) grows increasingly fascinating (especially for Beltway insiders, many appearing as themselves) and potentially mystifying for less-informed viewers. There's no hand-holding here, no back-story, no glossary or who's-who, and (most regrettably) no DVD supplements to guide the political layperson. What you get instead is a privileged glimpse of backroom politics in action, quasi-factual, semi-fictional, and never less than riveting. --Jeff Shannon
