  1. CLearly not my kind of show since I found the pilot hella confusing and hard to follow. Good for them but I think I'll stick to GOT and True Blood.

  2. Got to admit sometimes it was hard to understand some things, but maybe this will help, it certainly helped me: http://www.spoilertv.com/2011/12/luck-handy-guide-to-understanding-hbos.html

  3. No surprise really with all that talent behind the show. the pilot was okay, going to watch the next episodes, but it has to improve in my opinion. But the ending of the pilot episode makes me hopeful it will do.

  4. HBO sure love their early pick ups, I still need to watch the pilot I got 15mins into it and was a little bored but I guess I need to give it time

  5. I  have yet to watch it, but I plan to soon... 
    I know a number of people said Boardwalk Empire was boring out of the gate too, but I loved BE from the start and consider it the best show (4 shows all basically tied) on TV right now.The great thing about HBO and their early pick-ups is that you know as soon as the season starts that you have a guarantee of 2 Seasons! No worrying about getting attached to a series only to have it cancelled... Plus, HBO never cancels mid-season either. It's just a much better way to do business in my opinion. Although I do understand why that would be harder to accomplish on network TV.

  6. I liked the pilot. Nice that HBO is at least doing the drama still in a good way. Even if they`re destorying the comedy on the channel.

  7. I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed by BE at first, for me it got a lot stronger as it went on. I guess less underwhelmed and more confused by all the new characters, its like being thrown in at the deep end and takes time to adjust to!

    Yeah it is great how you can watch a season knowing you are getting more of it.

  8. I have yet to watch it, but no fear about cancellation sounds always like good news to me!
    So if I like it, I will have almost two seasons without being afraid, thank you HBO!

  9. I get why they'd go ahead with this. Great tallent in front and behind the scenes (not everyday you get Dustin Hoffman on TV, even if it is HBO)

    However even factoring that is it seems a little rushed....
