Just gotta keep telling myself it's tv and she isn't actually incestual.

if that was the naked chick....ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!!!....not anorexic, not fake, just perfectbases_loaded;1569449 wrote:alexandra daddario just made true detective a must watch
Otherwise this show is testing how painfully slow the pace can be....but of course HBO knows to throw in some skin!
On a related note, the opening credits are pretty cool. Most HBO shows do an amazing job with the opener/theme.

Trying to stay interested in True Detective, but it's moving awfully slow, and not all that compelling.

Pretty much what I think. Yeah, the writing and acting are great, but I can only tolerate so many minutes of watching Matthew McConaughey slowly exhale his cigarette.se-alum;1573150 wrote:Trying to stay interested in True Detective, but it's moving awfully slow, and not all that compelling.
It does seem like the remaining 6(?) episodes are ready to pick-up. On I side note, I didn't realize each season will bring a new cast and case.

I think the changing of cast and case can be a cool idea, but they have to be very good at casting the parts. It allows for the bigger name actors though, since it's a short run.gut;1573154 wrote:Pretty much what I think.

Could work. I think Buscemi would be available sine it's the last season of Boardwalk Empire. Just seems like a risk, as that's not the TV formula (outside of some reality shows). I guess it's better viewed as a movie/mini-series chopped into 1-hr episodes.se-alum;1573184 wrote:I think the changing of cast and case can be a cool idea, but they have to be very good at casting the parts.

I have been bingeing on an HBO series from the past I had never seen, Deadwood. Its great. And I get my daily dose of extreme profanity.

I started Hello Ladies on HBO on demand. Great short comedy, and awkward as fuckkkk.

When the wife and I are done with Dexter (currently, Dexter just murdered Jimmy Smits), I'll more than likely pick up a premium station to get some good stuff. Should I get HBO or Showtime? With HBO, I can watch them on the HBOGO app. Showtime have an app?

Showtime has Showtime Anytime. However it's not covered by all carriers. I have Dish and can't get it. HBOGo is great though.

I watched that also. It also made me feel very uncomfortable. I've always thought Stephen Merchant is very funny.Automatik;1573257 wrote:I started Hello Ladies on HBO on demand. Great short comedy, and awkward as fuckkkk.

HBOGO is a great service which is why I hate that they won't let me give them money without cable. Loved watching stuff on the Xbox and Roku.

HBO, cause then with HBOGo you can watch The Wire and The Sopranos.
Even if Showtime has maybe caught, and depending on the time of year, surpassed HBO in programming, HBO still has the better shows on file. Plus, they have Game of Thrones, so you could catch up on the first few seasons of that before it starts up in the spring.

You could always just piggyback on someone who wants cable and has HBO...HBO encourages people to share their Go accounts.I Wear Pants;1573323 wrote:HBOGO is a great service which is why I hate that they won't let me give them money without cable. Loved watching stuff on the Xbox and Roku.

Been watching Arrow. Based off The Green Arrow comic. Only 8 episodes in but so far so good. Heard they will be doing a Flash spinoff soon.

Dracula was pretty good. I don't think it's coming back, though. Such a shame how difficult it is for more original programming to survive.

Have you watched True Detective? Lili Simmons is in it, though she plays an underage prostitute and is only in a few episodes.Laley23;1573331 wrote:HBO, cause then with HBOGo you can watch The Wire and The Sopranos.

I really like True Detective, Episodes is pretty funny, but binge watch Shameless, you won't be disappointed

Oh, God. Mantooth watched the entire series last year and would not stop bitching about how much he hates Kevin. It literally put him in a bad mood daily.Commander of Awesome;1573678 wrote:Wonder Years. Recently rediscovered this.

Kevin does act like a temperamental bitch boy at times, but I still love the show.Fab4Runner;1573701 wrote:Oh, God. Mantooth watched the entire series last year and would not stop bitching about how much he hates Kevin. It literally put him in a bad mood daily.
