This made me chuckle:

I'll give this show a try very soon. Produced by Shawn Ryan (The Shield).

I forgot about it.  I hope my DVR didn't.  I could check.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

Donal Logue is a personal hero of mine. I should really start watching.

I just finally caught all of the pilot last night. Good show. This Michael Raymond-James guy was great as Logue's BFF, too.

I saw the pilot last night. I liked it right away but it started very slowly. Just when I was thinking I wasn't going to want to watch the second episode all that much, it got extremely interesting and violent. It reminds me a little too much of "Justified" with some very similar plotlines - thus making me just wish I were watching Justified instead. But this will certainly do and I am looking forward to watching the rest. Great acting. Emotions and developments are read on the actors' actual faces. I was able to follow along entirely without the help of a narrarator, which is a novel idea.

Eh, I don't think so. I don't think anyone wants to be in a relationship with him. I did like seeing her sitting there in bed with her shirt open getting a little view of her meat curtains.

It does for me. Not so much because of the storylines. The S&M bits were a little bit too outrageous and and nary an upper thigh of a lady appeared on screen. But the more I learn about Hank, the more I empathize with him.

One thing I really like about this show is the depiction of people just getting by in Great Recession America. A lot of us are living check-to-check and every piece of business we get is meaningful. We end up going to lengths that we never thought we would or could in order to make the money stretch (Stretch! Git on back theyah!). So many people took a second job, started their own business or took on additional responsibility at home in the past few years. In the process, we learned a lot about ourselves, what we're made of, what we can and can't do. The errors in our previous thought processes become so very clear when we're face-to-face with our own ruination.

Of course, there's always the wrong path, the easy way and the amoral decision-making that put us in the shit to begin with. Can't go back there.

To me, that's what this show is. And I can't help rooting for Hank all the way. He's AMERICA DAMNIT!

I enjoyed the shit out of Wednesday's episode. I got a little choked up when Hank was dressing that kid down (pedo-joke bait). Good powerful stuff. If you're not watching this show, then you're missing out on some great TV.
