I had to think about this for a minutebefore I realized it wasn't a non sequitur! I think that was the first time I ever noticed Kristen Bell, and yeah that episode was amazing IMO.

That ep is vital, too, because it marks a real shift in the show. I've told lots of folks on the fence about Deadwood after one or two eps to make it to the Kristen Bell ep, which really emphasizes the show's theme of degrees of evil. Like there;s evil, then there's evil so evil it makes the first evil only seem modestly evil.

Yeah when he's introduced you're just like oh here's our squarejawed noble hero, but eventually it just turns out that he's a bully and a dickhead?

Despite some logistical challenges and ensuing "mental stress," HBO is "thrilled beyond belief" to be filming the high-profile drama at Santa Anita, said Henry Bronchtein, the co-executive producer of "Luck."

yes a lot of critics gave treme As when it came out
― da croupier, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 14:26 (thirteen years ago) link
If they still liked it when the season ended I dunno, but few pro critics were like "I shit on this show about New Orleans from the Wire guy" when it came out
― da croupier, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 14:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Treme is great.
― Gukbe, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't actually mean critics though. I don't know anyone irl who liked it and a lot of people who strongly disliked it.

i'm not saying that with any pride btw, it's just that most of my friends watch different tv than i likeand i can't see chatting up the work folks with "that modern family is a SCREAM, rite?"

My father-in-law liked it but he's a professional musician who has probably skipped out of many cab fares in his day so I think he's biased
― da croupier, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Treme is great. suckers walked into it expecting The Wire set in New Orleans and got mad that it was a different show.
― gr8080, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link
treme is dope. gotta say that luck looks awesome, too. wish i had hbo, might have to re-up on that.
― omar little, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link
treme was really good. different from simon's other stuff but who wants him to do exactly the same thing over and over? I don't. glad to see him out of baltimore for a change.
luck looks good. HBO has some good stuff, again, after a year or two there where it was getting kind of bankrupt.

I didn't like Treme much, but what I like even less is people who say I didn't like it because it wasn't "The Wire."
What do I know, though, I liked John from Cincinnati a whole lot.

i'm actually really surprised mann had that big a hand in it in the first place. i figured it'd be a thing where he just directs the pilot and slaps his name on the show a la scorsese & boardwalk empire, but according to this:
After what an HBO source describes as "serious" discussions, Milch has the final word on scripts, but Mann decides everything else, from casting to cutting to music. Clearly that is not a situation to which Milch, the Emmy-winning writer-producer of NYPD Blue and Deadwood, has lately been accustomed.
