I've seen the whole first season and just watched the 1st episode of the 2nd. It's a shame Rachel McAdams won't be in the rest of this season (I don't think) but it was very good of her to come back and finish off her character arc even though her career has been blossoming so much. It's on par with any of the best HBO shows (and Showtime, now that they've hit their stride with the excellent shows "Weeds" and "Sleeper Cell"). As someone who's worked in film and who has been around a lot of actors, it really hits that world just right. I watched the 1st season a second time through with a friend who spent years in theater and he loved it at least as much as I did. But I don't think you have to have been in that world to appreciate it. For those who aren't in theater or film I think it's a good window into certain truths about the madness of that world. It's also just plain very funny and very, very well made.
