House of Lies

Just finished watching the Showtime series House of Lies, which is based on a far duller book of the same name by Martin Kihn, formerly of Booz Allen Hamilton.  My guess is that it was pitched to the network as 'Mad Men-meets-Californication', which is okay by me as they're two of my favourite shows.

Some of it resonates: certainly the travel and also the sense that you're always getting money for old rope as you (successfully) apply the same solutions to client after client.  But working for the Hollywood approximation of large consultancy looks waaaay more fun than running a one-man shop in the real world.
