I am watching it but am not convinced it will be able to be a mainstay.

Wags is basically Daniel Hartman in stockbroker form. And hopefully I'm wrong and he doesn't turn on Axe but they are blatantly setting this up with an overabundance of hints.

I don't like the actor. He's not convincing as a '****-stirrer' that can actually win. Especially with that hipster stache.

Going to be tough sledding against Vinyl. The series that will revive Andrew Dice Clay's career.

The guy that plays Wags was excellent in Breaking Bad, I just think the whole show is written weirdly - particularly the way that this character is directed/written.

I've been watching this live and recording Vinyl since it started; that said, it is keeping my attention but I really expected more from the powerhouses they brought in for these parts. Paul Giamatti is a Caricature of his role, which almost never happens.

Damien Lewis is the only thing saving this show right now.
