99 Words About … The departure of USA’s ‘Satisfaction’
July 17, 2014 - 3:00 pm
USA has lawyers, spies, federal agents and, with “Rush” (9 p.m. Thursday), two concierge-doctor dramas.
What it doesn’t have is anything like “Satisfaction” (10 p.m. Thursday).
Investment adviser Neil Truman (Matt Passmore, “The Glades”) is having an existential crisis.
Fed up with work that’s keeping him from his family, he has a YouTubed airplane freakout, quits his job and goes home to find his wife with a gigolo.
So he does what any husband would: He starts posing as that gigolo with the man-hooker’s clients.
It’s “Jerry Maguire” meets “Hung,” and it’s a bold change of pace for USA.
