Great show! I'm glad something is out to fill the gap between Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. HBO has some if the best shows on tv.

mahtofire14 · 03-03-2014, 08:45 PM

One of the best shows I've seen. Last episode was a little lack luster but I love everything about this show.

icehog3 · 03-04-2014, 12:49 AM

Sorry to see it end soon. Hopefully they will get some great actors for Season 2.

irratebass · 03-10-2014, 08:55 PM

Great finale last night.....very intense and downright creepy

maninblack · 03-10-2014, 09:22 PM

One of the best season finales of any show I've seen. Had me sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the show. Wow. Just wow.

mahtofire14 · 03-10-2014, 09:25 PM

I don't think it will be anywhere close to as good without those two. They had such a great dynamic together.

maninblack · 03-10-2014, 09:31 PM

Agree 100%

jsnake · 03-10-2014, 10:30 PM

I caught it half way into the season. Great acting and chemistry. Going to start from the beginning and watch the entire season this week.

Me too, can't remember being that tense watching a TV show for a long time.

You are likely correct. Matthew is stellar, and Woody very underrated.

I hope the writing for season 2 makes it close.

Started the other night w/episode 1. Wife and I have both fallen asleep two consecutive nights before finishing first one. Not much to hold our interest so far. I do like McConaughy - but, Harrelson's forced accent drives me nuts (much as Spacey's does in House of Cards.) We'll give it another go, but I do hope it picks up the pace a little.

irratebass · 03-11-2014, 07:35 AM

Dave, it starts out slow, but there is a darkness lingering there that you have to stick with it for it to rear it's ugly head.

Gabe215 · 03-11-2014, 08:14 AM

VERY surprised how "happy" the ending was, def thought is was going to end much more tragic! Very pleased, another thing that the director said that makes me love the show that reminds me of the old Hammer Horror films, that they never show the brutal/disgusting scenes it shows character reactions or pans out over the LA bayous, leaving it in your imagination what really happened and makes it that much scarier/disgusting! Loved that! GOT starts April 6th and as I mentioned earlier everyone check out Ripper Street on BBC America, try and find season one first if you can (might be on Netflix?) if not oh well start with season 2. you WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Starscream · 03-19-2014, 04:54 PM

Finally found episode two. Can't wait to watch the rest of this series.

Starscream · 04-24-2014, 12:43 PM

I finally finished the series last week. I loved it!

shilala · 04-24-2014, 12:48 PM

Anyone know who is supposed to take Matthew and Woody's place next season?

I heard it will be Lenny and Squiggy.

maninblack · 04-24-2014, 02:02 PM

Tom Selleck and Columbo

icehog3 · 04-24-2014, 04:42 PM

Thanks for the info, Zach, I think that all sounds great for the future of the series.

mahtofire14 · 04-24-2014, 07:15 PM

Good stuff Zach. I was worried about season 2 with the fact that the actors werent coming back, but this news get's me excited again for it. Hopefully this info is correct. Could leave the door open for some pretty awesome TV.

Victor808 · 05-13-2014, 05:41 PM

Anyone else try slogging through the King in Yellow book?
I have been going bit by bit, and honestly, can't find enough references to really make it worthwhile so far.
