He is the first character I thought of when that post was written here about Netflix’s GirlBoss being cancelled and people were commenting on the difference between having a character that’s a jerk but compelling and one that’s just a flat out, unlikable jerk.

A thousand times yes!

Mia Kirshner is a beautiful human.

OMG, those of us who were deep into the Shopping-and-Fucking genre when we were teens were WAITING for that miniseries as if it were Christmas... “Which one of you bitches” was already *the* famous line & we were dying to find out the rest of it all (bear in mind that this kind of swearing on TV was not too common in…
