    Anyone watching?

    New HBO show, created by David Milch, who created Deadwood. (Which I adored.)

    Bizarre, haunting, strange, odd...the list goes on.

    It caught me, I fell into it because I watch Entourage. Now I'm hooked.

    Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on? Mitch elevating? A Vietnam Vet healing John? Bill communicating with a bird? Shaun's miracle recovery?

    If strange shows get you I recommend you catch this one.

    Oh...And Luke Perry plays a great bad guy.

    If anyone ever saw "Oz", another gritty HBO show, Perry played a great bad guy in that too.

    I saw one episode, the first one I believe.

    Ed O'Neill is great on this one.

    I have yet to check this out, but I'll probably half too. I was a huge Deadwood fan.

    So was I.
    You should love this if you loved Deadwood.
    It's got that same edge to it. A seemingly normal world that's turned upside down.

    My husband loves it, but I have found it hard to follow. I will agree that Ed O'Neill is great here and it's good to see him again!

    There's that one dude from Deadwood (Buffalo Bill's friend) that's on the show. And, it's like he's playing almost the same part he did on Deadwood.

    Keep trying. It's worth it.

    And O'Neill is fantastic.

    Great show. Just hope all the craziness builds to something worthwhile. With Milch, i have no doubt there is.

    I heard that HBO cut the order of eps down to 10 and don't plan on bringing it back. I hope that is false info, because I'm really into the show.

    Man, she gets the award for worst overacting in a really good series.

    I'm with you. I hope it stays good. And I hope it stays on.

    Has anyone heard anything about Deadwood? Last I heard they were going to do 2 two hour movies to kind of "wrap it up", but that was a long time ago and I haven't heard anything else.

    Anyone know?

    I'll try it again this week. God knows I need something to help get me thru the 30 min torture of "Entourage" while I wait for "Flight of the Conchords"! Now that's my new fave!

    I'm definitely into it at this point, I get the feeling it needs a little more direction-but I'm willing to wait to see what happens with John, the Yost family, etc.

    As for John? I'm thinking he has maybe a spiritual background? An alien? , I don't really know at this point, but he's got some qualities that make you think, which I enjoy in a tv show. So many shows out there require you to do no thinking at all.

    I think the alien idea might be far fetched.
    Spiritual I like.

    And I agree with the show making you think. That's how I got hooked.
    I'm trying to figure it out and I find myself still thinking about it the next day.

    Bump.

    Okay. It got even stranger with last night's episode.

    John appears to be in 2 places at once?

    John speaking as Bill's dead wife?

    WTF was with the green body at the bbq?

    I'm not sure I actually followed it. There was a lot going on and they threw it at you fast. I'm going to watch it again this week and see if I can get it.

    Anyone still watching it?

    I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be a dead body or WHAT. Freaky episode, to say the least.

    All these elements of the show that were brought to the motor court: the spiral staircase from Bills place, for one. Then they'd show Kai and Butchie sitting with the "green" guy behind them, then the next shot was Kai, Butchie, Mitch, Shawn, Cissy and Tina are all standing together, the they cut to a new shot and Kai and Butchie are sitting alone holding hands...no green guy behind them anymore.

    It's bizarre.

    But it's got me hooked.

    I've got to know where it's all heading.
