For those who haven't seen it- it's a solid mix of "The Green Mile", "The Grapes of Wrath", "The Stand", and "Freaks". Very interesting and quite unusual for a TV show. Some people might find it slow, but I was hooked from the first episode.
I'm not a big TV fan myself, but HBO seems to have a really good formula working now.
-Hire good but lesser known talent
-Hire fantastic writers
-Spend some money on solid production values
-Make fewer, higher quality episodes in a "season"
-Toss in a little skin to keep people interested
They wind up making something that would never, ever be on network TV, but is a top quality show.
FWIW try to get digital HBO if you can, the On-Demand service is a wonderful thing to have available. You can watch most of the HBO content at your leisure, no TIVO or VCR programming to worry about. It's almost convinced us to ditch NetFlix.
