Thanks.

Looking forward to watching it.

I like how they busted out some music from Heat, another Mann production

I liked a lot. Enough that I decided to skip watching next week's on HBO Go and save it for next Sunday. Though so far the least interesting story line is Dustin Hoffman's.

I can't believe the accent on Octavian's sister. Makes her performance in Rome all the more impressive. She's great.

2nd episode is pretty good

This whole thing might actually work

E! Online likes to do "Save it or sink it?" polls after new shows premiere. Thought folks here might want to take the opportunity to vote.

http://eonli.ne/y3BZR8 Right now it's 75% Save it. That's a pretty good number for one of these. I think it's usually a little lower.

It's nice to see her in another HBO series. I loved Rome.

I thought it was pretty good. HBO rarely screws-up though, except when they canceled Deadwood too early.

Very good. Multiple story lines that you can see crossing in and out of each others path. Solid characters with flaws and possibile redemptive qualities.
Liked how they tackled the issue of breakdowns early on, and Gary Stevens with the best line..."You never get used to it. That's why they make Jim Beam."

Slate gave it a really, really good review:

The reviewer is right about it being a bit confusing for people who don't know racing- my husband said he was confused by some of the dialogue. I like that that it's not being dumbed down, though. I thought the line about risking "$864 on a single in the 4th" was a clever way of doing a bit of exposition.

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?
