Think I've just got to the part you mean. Where Doug is negotiating with the woman running for President?
"Points on the ad buy"?
I believe it's basically a commission on top of his salary. So if Doug's package was a salary of $200k plus 5 points on the ad buy he'd get, obviously his salary of $200k, but also 5% of however much money the campaign spends on advertising.
Finally got around to watching the first few of these over the past week or so; it's absolutely outstanding!
Really well made, brilliantly cast and razor sharp writing - I'm hooked. Even if some of the technical elements of the US political system sometimes go over your head, as they do mine, it's well worth a watch.
I wouldn't worry about missing references to the American political system because it bears about as much resemblance to it as the British version. Although, it's still closer to reality than Armando Ianucci's "Veep".
I thought Season 3 was way down on the first two. They've cut the cast and got rid of too many good actors. Don't care too much for the switch to marital drama, either. And the Vladimir Putin stereotype seems closer to propaganda.
My favourite Netflix Original, I don't follow polictics that well but can still understand whats going on most of the time. Is the original worth a watch or would that possibly spoil what may happen later in this version?
