Personally I think it makes the show more interesting, as I don't believe in do goodie nonsense and it immerses me more.<br /><br />+ I love the over the top drama the characters can generate, and it allows Kelsey to really go all out in a couple of scenes.<br /><br />I think the main problem of Boss is that it was released to a usa audience. They just can't handle dark material like this. Maybe it's the lack of world wars or endless fighting on the soil they possess, who knows. But things like this or ''bad'' endings never really jibe well over there.<br /><br />Shame, would have loved to see a season 3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
