K Street - The Series?
Every bus shelter in DC seems like it's been plastered with posters for K Street, the new "It's not TV, it's HBO" series. Leaving the sanctified unreality of The West Wing behind, K Street purports to show the dirty world of politics as it's really conducted in DC. The show mixes the real actors with fake politicians, or viceversa, I'm not sure. That line is pretty blurry these days. Executive Producers George Clooney and Steven Soderburgh promise to "take us to the backrooms and power-lunches of the Washington elite." So, we're going to the Palm. Can they turn the banal world of routine Washington sleaze into interesting television? Tune in on the 14th to see.
(But what I'm really interested in is Soderbergh's adaptation of one of my favorite books of all times, A Confederacy of Dunces. Filming of this classic starts this fall.)
