EPISODE
It may be surprising to hear about Cal Penn, the former White House public relations representative and director of public relations. In this series, Cal tries to attract viewers from around the world to meet with key players behind some of the most unusual movements in today's economy. It seems to be very important, especially when Cal starts to show more than we do not know.

There's a fine line between keeping your viewers entertained and condescending to them, and like most of the well-intentioned projects that constitute McKay's second act... Giant Beast too often ends up on the wrong side of it.

This Giant Beast That Is The Global Economy is one of those shows where you're more likely to watch whatever episodes that interest you and leave others alone. And that's OK. You'll get an entertaining 45 minutes no matter what.

The series' failings...don't erase what This Giant Beast has to offer, but they do place large traffic cones around its periphery.
