Il jump in eventually, very exited about it. Berg is a wonderful director and the cast seems solid.

is this as unrelentingly violent as the trailer made it seem? i need to be in the (rare) mood for such fare these days.

Yes it is. Not graphically though. Just intense. I watched an episode before bed last night that i wish i would have waited on due to the sensitive nature of what happened.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

spike, to clarify, they'll show someone bashing someone else's head in with a rock, but don't show endless blood and chunks flying about all over the place. Taylor Kitsch is good, so is Betty Gilpin and Sarah Lightfoot-Leon (also currently in The Agency). I just read that Kim Coates is Brigham Young, and I had no idea from the makeup job they've done on him
