Ok, well having heard cultural references to "The Apprentice," and having no idea what they mean, I finally decided to watch several episodes--all the way through the end of the first season. While there is a bit of what seems to be as-if "false drama," it is engaging and has a lot of "intrigue." There are some planning, execution, and definitely some communications learning curves. The intros and outros are excellent, and the atmosphere and cinematography (camera shots) are almost hypnotic. In the Board room, the use of light, dark, and shadows is highly effective--almost Hitchcockian in nature.
The whole series is a creative and effectively executed idea (based on other similar programs), and those of us who have been in leadership, management, and organizational/governmental/ministerial coordination are likely to be intrigued and drawn in by the projects and how the teams and individual persons manage them, as well as manage uncertainties and "chaos."
