Anybody watching this Starz series? It's about Miami Beach in 1959. It's a pretty good story, some what Soft Porn in all the breasts (perfect to boot) that you see every episode.

I watched the first two episodes when they first came out but haven't had a chance to catch the rest. It looked like it had potential and I hope to get to the rest soon.

ClendonRoss · #3 05-29-2012, 09:02 AM

I'm watching it and like it. Both Ike's wife and the Butcher's wife are quite pleasant on the eyes...

TOK2000 · #4 05-29-2012, 01:51 PM

It's definitely interesting, I"m all caught up now and I don't want to give up any spoilers so it's hard to discuss.

BTW, while I was watching I thought damn Ike looks familar but I didn't recognize his name. So l looked him up and he's Sam and Dean's Dad from Super Natural. On that show he went to Hell to save Dean.

Kind of like a cross between Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire. I totally missed the Supernatural connection.

Ok, I'm caught up. Is "Time and Tide" the end of the first season? It aired two weeks ago and I see nothing in the next two weeks other than reruns. Seems like an odd episode to end a season on, lots and lots of loose ends. Not much really resolved.

TOK2000 · #7 06-19-2012, 04:34 PM

Yeah Time and Tide is it for now. How'd you like the way that Lily convinced the Butcher to let her live...super voyeur!

But you are right, while Lily and Stevie were caught and they live for now, how long can that last?

Judy Silver found and Ike in Jail but what's going to happen to Ike. Is that State Attny as slimey in his way as the Butcher.

Will the Arthur Godfrey Show sign up? What are the chances that Mercedes ends up pregnant from what I think was a roll in the hay with no protection with Danny? Will Danny figure out he's being used....yeah lots of stuff hanging.

I can't find anything as to when it will be back either. 8 shows is not really a lot of shows.

All I could find is that they signed up a second season as the first started airing. Hopefully we'll get it in the fall and not 2013 as most movie channel series do.

Luckily True Blood has resumed and Weeds is right on its heels. Oh, and The Big C.

Here's my prediction: Ike has actually been pulling strings the whole time setting up Diamond and becomes the new mob boss. I say that based on what happened to Ms. Silver. It's pretty apparent that Ike tricked Diamond into trying to kill her but instead his man was there to not only stop it but rescue her. Now she's gone again, the state lost their only witness, Ben Diamond is connected to two assassins who tried to kill her and they have to let Ike go.

Weeds got canceled. Maybe they meant at the end of the season, but it's not getting renewed.

Ike did not seem worried when he was laying there on his jail cot talking to the State Attny. You might be right, initially I thought he was just a businessman in over his head, but after he beat Johnny Shoes to death and talked his former Sister in law into bailing him out I figured he was a cockroach...a survivor.

True Blood is terrible, over the top, & campy as sh*t. That's exactly why it's awesome.

Bingo! True Blood is for drama what Fawlty Towers was for comedy. Take the standard formula and multiply by 10.

Thought that was a really good ending...

Quote of the week goes to True Blood.

"First may I say that God has the most beautiful tits I've ever seen!"

I think I'll go with a quote from Breaking Bad instead:

"Just because you shot Jessie James doesn't make you Jessie James."

No, the quote of the week was my wife while deciding whether to watch True Blood.

Me: Should we watch True Blood? I'm not that tired.

Wife: Sure. Let's see what's going on.

10 minutes later.

Me: Let's just go to bed.

Wife: Yeah. This is f*cking terrible.

FIN.

It was 11 after we watched Breaking Bad, and I'd been drinking for 5 hours. I would never try to be in front of my tv at 9 for that show.
