Don Cheadle’s 5-Season Hidden Gem Classic Leaves Netflix Soon – Binge this Weekend
One of Don Cheadle's career-best TV shows found a home on Netflix last summer but is just days away from being taken off the world's largest streaming service. Don't miss your chance to binge this modern classic, star-studded, 5-season series while you still can. Cheadle, often considered one of the greatest actors of the 21st century, is known for his incredible performances in movies like Hotel Rwanda, Crash, and, of course, the Avengers franchise. This somewhat forgotten series, however, may be Cheadle like you've never seen him before as a charming consultant and corporate closer.
House Of Lies Leaves Netflix Soon – What It's About
The 5-season comedy/drama series House of Lies will be leaving Netflix on Saturday, January 24, making now a great time to binge the series while you still have the chance. Spanning 28 episodes, all roughly 30 minutes each, across five seasons, House of Lies originally aired on Showtime from 2012 to 2016. House of Lies stars Cheadle's fast-talking Marty Kaan, who leads a team of consultants that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to close big deals. This team includes hilarious characters played by Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) and Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation). Few shows like House of Lies exist nowadays due to its raunchy, even provocative, humor, sexually-leaning content, and overall edgy tone, which some viewers may really get a kick out of. This series is 100% old-school, meant purely to entertain via sharp, fearless humor. It was made during the time when Californication was a massive hit, and Shameless was finding its groove on Showtime.
House Of Lies Is Worth A Binge Before It's Gone
If you're a fan of these types of unpolished yet hysterical 2010s series, then House of Lies is an absolute must-binge, and you should binge it before it's off Netflix. The show will be be abole to stream on Paramount+, but if you don't have that subscription, it's best to watch it all on Netflix before it leaves in about a week's time.
House of Lies will not be for everybody, but it remains one of Cheadle's most celebrated and fan-approved TV series of his career, earning an 84% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. While it's technically categorized as a drama, it's very much a comedy series, so give it a shot if you're looking to laugh out loud this weekend. Shows that often get compared to House of Lies include Veep, one of the funniest shows of all time, and Suits, a corporate drama with big personalities. One thing is certain – if you love Cheadle and haven't seen him in House of Lies, it's well worth a binge-watch on Netflix.
