House of Lies (2012 — 2016)
House of Lies (2012–2016), the American comedy-drama television series created by Matthew Carnahan, premiered on Showtime on January 8, 2012. It is based on the book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time, written by Martin Kihn, a former consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton. The show follows a group of management consultants who will stop at nothing to seal business deals. However, after five seasons, Showtime cancelled the series on May 17, 2016 with its final episode airing June 12, 2016. Focusing on both personal and professional aspects of Marty Kaan’s life, the show portrays him as a manipulative and opportunistic consultant with undeniable charm.
Initially, Marty held a successful position at consultancy firm Galweather Stearn as the leader of a pod consisting of engagement manager Jeannie van der Hooven, and associates Clyde Oberholt and Doug Guggenheim. He later moves on to start his own firm, Kaan & Associates. Along with exploring the questionable business practices of Marty and his team, the series also delves into his personal life. This includes navigating his tense relationship with his ex-wife Monica (a management consultant), dealing with his father Jeremiah (a retired psychiatrist), and raising his confident and flamboyant son Roscoe. The protagonist, Marty, frequently breaks the fourth wall by addressing the audience in a freeze-frame segment where he is the only one moving while others continue their actions. Alternatively, he speaks directly to the viewers while everyone else moves around him, seemingly unaware of his monologue.
