Yeah, Deadwood was the best show ever to grace a TV. Amazing stuff. If you have never seen Deadwood do yourself a favor and watch all 3 seasons.

I also did not fully get the Ace Bernstein story line. Can someone explain?

I guess i am alone in thinking that the pacing was really slow. It was disappointing to me.

Seth (Equidaily) found a very cool media website, AV Club. Warm review and then a very funny, clubby sequence of comments:

As 'Luck' Story Editor/Script Writer (and ATR progenitor) John Perrotta explained Friday on the show with me, Sunday viewers were basically watching hour one of a nine hour movie. As Scav noted earlier in the thread, watch next week and you'll see the pacing pick up.

I heard a rumor that Sarah Jessica Parker is being cast as Zenyatta.

Apparently she has started method acting already, the problem is that she refuses to fly to California to film the show.

A lot of first episodes seem to be like that.

Rome was just good enough in a few parts in episode one to bring me back.

I almost gave up on John Adams after one episode -- and quickly, either episode two or three was one of the best shows I've ever watched.

they were setting the story line / plot for the season. While I did enjoy the pilot episode, I bet the next episode better and faster paced.

They need drama. Like a successful trainer receives sexual favors from women to use his ice machine/cobra venom.

Oooo, that might be a difficult cross-cast, asking a bitch to play a mare.

the john adams' was great. i bought david mculloughs book to get all the details that had to be missed. i'd never known much about adams before then, and wasn't much of a fan. great watch/read. learned a lot, cast adams in a new light and gained a lot of understanding.

Rolling Stone weighs in..

and that in itself is a major accomplishment for racing

Even right-wing talk show host Michael Savage weighed in (negatively) on it last night. He complained that it was just another "Hollow-wood" creation of aging west coast morally bankrupt hippies, and featuring a couple of past their prime actors totally miscast. He did take a couple of calls from authentic-sounding race track guys from New York who tried to fill him in on what the game is all about.

Enjoyed that review, but I took exception to the idea that horse racing is hovering around the popularity of jai alai and air hockey. Clearly we get ranked below Little League Baseball by ESPN, though, so maybe I'm the one who's off base (no pun intended, sorry for that).
