“House of Lies” did not exactly have a strong first part to their season 4 finale on Sunday night. This is where we come bearing the good news: The second half-hour was far better. It set the stage for Marty Kaan’s present and future, while still wrapping up some of the other dangling stories. What […]
There is physical death, the end of your career, or the death of a relationship and in many ways, these were all deaths that were front and center during the first episode in the “House of Lies” two-part finale on Showtime Sunday night.

Are you surprised that Showtime has not renewed “House of Lies” yet? We certainly are, given that this is the sort of show that tends to get picked up for new seasons early. For example, season 4 was ordered in February of 2014, well before the third season was even over. While the network has […]
Sunday night, the truth for “House of Lies” is that the show is ending with back-to-back episodes. Are you sad? You should be. This season has been pretty great! For the most part, our concern with this show for the most part is that it tries so hard to be edgy, cool, and laced in […]

When you sell your soul to Denna, you better prepare for the consequences. This is something that Marty Kaan learned the hard way at the end of “House of Lies” Sunday night. He made a deal with her to ensure the takedown of Ellis Hightower, but unfortunately for him, he does not even seem to […]
“House of Lies” season 4 to us is quickly establishing itself as the funniest season to date, mostly because we are starting to actually get a grasp on who some of these people truly are. Marty Kaan, for example, is addicted to success; meanwhile, all Doug and Clyde seem to want at the moment is […]
As it turns out, there is still a way for Marty and Jeannie to find a little bit of peace on “House of Lies.” It just involved the two of them deciding that they were going to stop being childish about their relationship failings and their unborn child. To a certain extent, we get Marty’s […]
Is Jeannie set to leave “House of Lies” a few episodes before the finale? Based on the sneak peek below from Sunday night’s new episode, it seems at least somewhat possible that Kristen Bell’s character is going into labor. In the sneak peek below, Jeannie is in some sort of pain, which causes Doug to do some […]
Sunday night’s “House of Lies” episode contains what is probably our favorite moment of the entire season, and the reasoning behind this admission is simple: To us, there are few things better in the world than watching someone have a massive meltdown for everyone to see.
