This really is looking dark and intriguing, McConaughey has suddenly went from being the guy with the great abs in rom coms to mister transformation actor!
 
This thing is going to get some Emmys. I can feel it.
 
This starts on the 12th, people.

Get ready.

Awesome! Just came in here to ask when it starts lol Thanx!
 
Yup, I wouldn't miss this one. It looks amazing. :)
 
Yea I went and looked at the trailers and oh man!! I am beyond excited for this
 
With those guys how could it possibly suck? :p
 
Well, I mean.... this wasn't great, was it?

But yes, this looks fantastic.
 
This looks like it was made for me. Can't ****ing wait.
 
Edtv is an awesome movie damn it! Who doesn't love the idea of Rob Reiner having an inflatable penile implant??
 
Eh, lol. Not for me I don't think.
 
Just read in the EW that this show is going to be like American Horror Story in that each new season is it's own separate story -- including a whole new cast each time. Looks the boys are only going to be around for just the first run. :( That bummed me out.

Let's just hope that each season (if it get's another one) has a few, or at least one big name such as McConaughey or Harrelson.

That's maybe what they are aiming for.
 
This Sunday!

Yeah I would've liked it if the season 1 cast were THE cast of the show but if they can find quality actors like McConaughey and Harrelson for each season then I'm all for it.
 
i can't wait for this series!!! i love premium shows with caliber acting

I'm cool with this, I actually enjoy how American Horror does it, changing it up each season like that (though the core cast stays, they just change roles). It makes it easier to drop a weaker season, too, lol and only buy the ones I liked.
 
Yea this could still be really good. I just think it makes them rush storylines a lot though. It totally changed the structure of the narrative and character development. I was hoping more for a new HBO brand of a Justified or Breaking Bad or something. I like good characters that last a while. I'm still watching and if its people the calibre of Woody and McConaughey then I'm all for it. It's a cool paradigm for a crime series. New case each season, new, more troubled detectives. They could even do a season with a washed up PI played by Harrison Ford or Bruce Willis or something. I mean, it surprised me enough to hear of Woody and McConaughey being in a tv series so maybe we could see some more true A listers try and go after a quick Emmy. Could be total greatness. This first season looks dope enough

I think that is the draw of this to Movie stars, You have a 3-4 month commitment, and you can do some work where you can really get into a character and stories, but you are not locked in for years and years.
