Not as good as first season, but still great performances
So we start the series with a break up, and various hook-ups throughout the series, which is a little like Friends but a little more intelligent. And while it's not as good as the first series, as they move on to the next plan of action, Rob Lowe and Adam Scott make a surprise appearance at the end of the climactic season.

As per usual, standout performances by Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari and Nick Offerman, who seem to be the strongest characters throughout.

The land of finders keepers, losers weepers
The story of McDonald's pretty much sums up the American dream sadly. A crook of a salesman / businessman Ray Kroc, played by Michael Keaton, comes across two hardworking brothers Mac (John Carroll Lynch) and Dick McDonald (Nick Offerman), who have essentially cracked the idea of how to provide fast food.

They are satisfied with their humble beginnings at a small diner in San Bernardino, but are cajoled by Kroc into franchising - who essentially steals it from under their nose by buying the land that it was based upon. It's really quite tragic because Kroc turned it from an honest operation into the greedy corporation that we have today. That being said, I love Keaton, he's versatile and can play anything from a lovable scallywag to evil incarnate.

While it's not Oscar worthy as such, it's an interesting biopic nevertheless.

It makes you feel sorry for the brothers and realise the concept for MacDonald was great but became corrupt but I really wanted a big Mac after
