TOP 10 FINALIST
Twenty-something slacker and veteran Howie Sedgwick gets one hell of a job offer the same day his long-suffering girlfriend throws him out: taking over his (in)famous uncle Jack's ultra-right wing radio show. While the large paychecks may be nice, he nows has to balance a personal life full of people who hate what he's doing and his new coworkers who (rightfully) suspect Howie may not believe the lunacy he's spewing. Script and independent reviews are available on The Blacklist.
