House of Lies

‘House of Lies’ interracial love still making networks nervous?

Showtime’s “House of Lies” is quite an intriguing show. Starring Oscar-nominee Don Cheadle as unscrupulous-and-high-powered management consultant Marty Kaan, the show centers on Kaan’s exploits juggling multi-million dollar clients, a less-than-stable home life and his small crew of colorful co-workers. Among those colleagues is Jeanie van der Hooven, played by Kristen Bell. Just as calculating as Marty, Jeanie is ambitious and cold, with a sharp wit and even sharper perspective.
