Is Consulting as fun as "House of Lies" makes it seem?

Do you really get to travel to nice places every week and stay at nice hotels, basically spend time having fun and bill it on your client? In reality, is there truly time to explore these new cities you're in? Or are you always working all the time

 

Never seen the show... but I would bet my bottom dollar that it's not as fun as the show makes it seem. If a show accurately portrayed most of the working world, no one would fucking watch it cuz it'd be incredibly boring.
