In the aspect of storytelling and filmmaking, all the bad things are real, all the good things are fake. It still belongs to the one best kind of American contemporary film though, thanks the author and Ron Howard. I do hate how Hollywood has made the relink-the-drama-back-to-real-life a new cliche. It actually got old and sour.
forgot to say I do not like the way they treat Garry and also stop making jokes about the wife.. It's boring now... But gosh... the cameos they have on this show... wow
