It has 4 things going for it.

The opening theme is not quite 20s era, though.

 

[deep]

I'll be watching!

How many HBOs did you get from Time Warner? I have 6 or 7.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, way more than I need. I have Comcast and with the package they gave me, I now have like 4 Starz channels and 4 HBO.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Scorsese directing

That is cool. Does anybody know if he's doing multiple episodes, or if he's only directing the first episode?

I may have to check this out.

 

[deep]

Here in the O C I can watch True Blood, or this, as early as 6 pm (now)

and then it is on 3 - 4 more times later tonight.

Have you tried In Treatment, also on HBO?

 

[corianderstem]

I ran across the east-coast HBO for True Blood last week, which was awesome. Slipped my mind this week!

I've been meaning to catch In Treatment - it's in my Netflix queue now.

 

[deep]

I have it on my onDemand dvr, they have the first season up now. I don't know if Comcast offers onDemand with their dvrs.

 

[corianderstem]

I think it's available on mine as well, but I'm not up for starting it right now. I've got too much else I want to watch first. I need to parcel out all the TV shows I want to get through.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

that's one of the things I missed about the west coast, was the east coast feeds for HBO.

 

[deep]

I watch too much TV. There are a couple of new series starting this week, too.

 

[deep]

This Boardwalk Empire series is pretty good.

 

[deep]

"Giddy Up Cowboy"

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yep.. i think this gonna be a good series..

 

[u2popmofo]

That is cool. Does anybody know if he's doing multiple episodes, or if he's only directing the first episode?

Pretty sure he only did the first.

I liked the first episode.

 

[powerhour24]

Holy smokes that was awesome, and more graphically violent than many of Marty's films.

I only found out this week that Michael Kenneth Williams (who only popped up for a split second in the premiere), Kelly MacDonald, Michael Shannon and Michael Stuhlbarg were going to be in this, , I'd tried to avoid reading too much.

"You can't be half-a-gangster anymore Nuck"

 

[deep]

yeah, 6 seconds of Omar Little is not enough

 

[powerhour24]

Word.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh, wow. Fuckin Omar is in this show?

I'm sold.

 

[powerhour24]

 

[Jive Turkey]

"Giddy Up Cowboy"

haha, you beat me to it. I loved this show. I usually try to stay away from TV shows because I dont want to get sucked in, but this one is off to a good start, so I might have to make an exception

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Oh, wow. Fuckin Omar is in this show?

I'm sold.

hellz yeah.. He is Chalky White on the show. @ his character name.

 

[U2isthebest]

I had 3 episodes of Mad Men to catch up on, so I missed it last night. The previews have looked amazing, so I'm hoping to watch it tonight. There's not enough Buscemi around these days.

 

[corianderstem]

I liked it. Will watch again.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Really enjoyed that.

I can't help but think of Amsterdam from Gangs of New York when I see this Jimmy character. They're both young feisty kids trying to work their way up, through not the most honest means. They've both got the violent streak. Both good looking. And there's the Scorsese connection, of course.

This is good shit.

And, yeah, if Omar becomes a big character, this thing is only going to get better.

 

[powerhour24]

From the way Michael Pitt looked so uncomfortable at the beginning I assumed he was feeling guilty for what they were doing... turns out he was just jealous for not having more responsibility.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yep agree with you on the last part. I absolutely love this actor, he has got some serious acting chops.. Hope this brings even more good roles for him.

 

[deep]

I don't see how this vehicle will permit as wide and rewarding a part for Omar as The Wire.

In a 1920's Atlantic City black Americans would have been marginalized.

But, who knows.

 

[corianderstem]

I need to go back and watch the last 15 minutes, since I flipped over to Mad Men at 10.

Oh, and the actress who played Jimmy's wife was gorgeous.
