It's got a good buzz and I dvr'd the first one last night. I'll certainly give it a shot. Wit only 8 episodes that's a plus.

I might see this one tonight.

I liked it. Dark, slow-burner feeling to it. It reminded me a lot of the first hour of Se7en.

A friend recorderd it and has HBO, that's why I have to wait, Lenny.

Sounds good, fellas. Yeah from the reviews they said that the first three episodes are slow going, but everything feels ominous.

Only 8 episodes. But if they are successful they're going to continue with new seasons and new stories. As much as it's good to see new talent, it'd be cool if they got big name stars for each season.

Where do you dwell now, Randy?

The first episode was very good. Don't exactly know what they are setting us up for, but the sense of doom and dread is overwhelming. Love the setting. The shots of the shithole town where they work remind me of a couple of towns I lived in as a kid. And the religious/occult imagery is creepy as fuck.

Mud, Dallas Buyers Club, Wolf of Wall Street, this... McConaughey has been money in the bank. Not sure I've seen him play this type of character before.

I caught this and will certainly keep watching. McConaughey's gonna get an award for this.

I have a feeling that these characters have some real issues that will evolve over the course of the 7 hr movie.

Good Guys? Bad guys? Who knows

Loved the pilot, very promising. Plus two people from the wire were in it.

The most striking thing was how desolate everything was. Even in the overhead shots you never saw people walking, or mowing the lawn. Just so eerily quiet.

I like the way that sounds. Did you like it? I'm watching it tonight.

Yeah, but my admiration of character driven cop shows is well documented.
