"K Street" is One Dull Road
That Soderbergh can produce and edit a show as quickly as "K Street" is amazing - he's covering stuff which happened just last week. Unfortunately, "K Street" is way too accurate, too much like real life. It reveals the banal truth about DC - we are a town full of self-important blowhards trapped in dull meetings with one another. Filmed in a washed-out blue, the show is one static shot after the next of politicos talking on street corners, in conferences rooms, in meeting halls, even on Acela at one point. The most thrilling revelation is that Dean used a line Carville fed him. It's not TV, it's fictionalized C-SPAN.
