Here's a story about real horses starving.

Got caught up to episode 6 last night - Agree, the videography of the racing scenes is truly impressive. The rest is pure dreck. Glad I stuck with Shameless on Sunday nights and recorded this. I'm sure I will watch the rest of the season, only because of the subject matter - but to get yourself all twisted up over this "cuz it has horseys in it" is really silly. It is not very good.

Oh Lordy. I would love to see the winner's circle photo from episode 6.

Shameless + House of Lies + Californication

Luck -on demand. I watched all episodes from start to latest in one day. I like it....albeit I am sometimes expecting Dustin to say "two hundred forty seven two hundred forty seven" aka Rain Man.

FTFY Geeker - though I'm not the biggest House of Lies fan, it's ok, but find myself switching back to HBO to get mah Kenny Powers fix and then not even watching HoL on DVR.

Shameless is the bomb

Any chance you will be at Del Mar during the first weekend of August?

I don't know what others think, but last night's episode of Luck, was, in my opinion, far and away the best of the series, and really catapulted the show into the full HBO standard quality we've come to expect. I was fine with it before, enjoyed it, great racing scenes, etc - but last night was the best, and should really hook viewers that might have been loose on the tether.

It was an o.k. episode. Predictable, yet o.k.


Now we have a show that is the Sopranos at the race track. Yawn. This is what happens when you are more concerned with style over substance. A big shiny production.

I'm worried about the young kid that got clunked in the head.

He and "Big Puss.y" Bompensiero are betting on races together in heaven.

Couldn't agree more. Loved it.

This episode was so full of syrup and sap that I will find it hard to rerun..
all this relationship crap..dustin and his creepy lady...escalante getting on with the little boy...the pregnancy thing and the remolding of escalante as a good guy....not for me

maybe the AHA and PETA should spend one day as a claims adjuster for equine insurance. Maybe they'd gain some perspective.

As a reminder Honu, when is your speaking part coming up in the series? I'm a big fan of the series but that's allready been established. It was cool to see Bob Baffert at the track too in a prior episode.

I just searched this thread and Honu said she was in episode 7. About where in episode 7 ? My guess : on the track attending to the filly that was pulled up.
