    I'm on episode 2 part 2 so far and this show is excellent. I read those reviews on metacritic and all the bad reviews is doing is comparing it to Deadwood and the Sopranos.

    It's not either of these shows. It's nothing like them. So why try to compare?

    The only thing in common with those shows is the colourful language.

    It looks like this weeks episode is the last. I'm loving it, it's really off the wall with lots of WTF moments but very entertaining. I'm surprised it's not getting more praise around here.

    Chalk up another winner to FX, the best channel around at the moment in terms of the series it's showing.

    The bad reviews seem to stem from the fact that it's just too weird. Maybe it's too challenging for some of the lazier/simpler critics ?

    I'm on episode 6 now. Best part so far is the speech he made at the end of the episode 5.

    "If my words are yours, can you hear my Father? Can Bill know my Father, keeping his eye on me? Can I bone Kai and Butchie know my Father instead?

    "My Father's shy doing his business. Kai helps my Father dump out. Bill takes a shot. Shaunie is much improved.

    "Joe is a Doubting Thomas. Joe will save Not-Aleman. Joe will bring his buddies home. This is how Freddy relaxes. Cup-o'joe, and Winchell's variety dozen.

    "Mitch catches a good wave. Mitch wipes out. Mitch wipes out Cissy. Cissy shows Butchie how to do that. Cissy wipes Butchie out. Butchie hurts Barry's head. Mister Rollins comes in Barry's face. My Father runs the Mega-Millions.

    "Fur is big. Mud is big. The stick is big. The word is big. Fire is huge. The wheel is huge. The line and circle are big. On the wall, the line and circle are huge. On the wall, the man at the wall makes a man from the circle and line. The man at the wall makes a Word on the wall from the circle and line. The Word on the wall hears my Father.

    "The zeroes and ones make the Word in Cass's camera. In the Word on the wall that hears my-Father-in-Cass's-camera, the good one Mitch catches doesn't wipe Cissy out. In the-Word-that-hears-my-Father, Cissy shows Butchie something else. In-my-Father's-Word, Cissy shows Butchie in Shaun. In-my-Father's-Word, Tina raises Shaun at lunch. In Cass's-camera, Butchie lays the court out for Barry, and Mister Rollins watches, and he doesn't come on Barry's face. In Cass's-camera, Butchie knows Kai kept the faith. In-my-Father's-Word, the Wave lifts them up.

    "In Cass's camera, Bill doesn't bump his head on the stairs. In Cass's-camera, as long as he's being stupid, Bill gives Lois a kiss.

    "In His-Word-in-Cass's-camera, the Internet is big. Nine-Eleven is big, but not every towel-head is eradicated. In His-Word, We are coming Nine-Eleven-Fourteen.

    "In my-Father's-Word, Bill sees how Freddy relaxes. In Cass's-camera, Ramon wants to know who's hungry, in the courtyard and Room Forty-Five.

    "In my-Father's-Word-to-come-in-Cass's-camera, Doctor Smith calls Ocean Properties. In Cass's-camera-to-come, my Father stares Not Aleman down, and Freddy sees Bill much-improved.

    "You will not note my-Father's-Word, nor remember Cass's-camera, but you will not forget what we did here."



    Oh and I completely disagree with any bad reviews I've read, This is an incredibly intriguing show, well acted with well-thought out characters. There is a good chemistry between them all. Any supernatural elements add to it greatly. And John is a brilliant character, one of the best I've seen in a long time.

    Nah, I just did a google search for "cass' camera" episode 5 and that came up. I think it was transcribed by the writer.

    I just watched the last episode last night......disappointing!!

    From the 2nd last episode, it seemed like it was building up to something and I was quite looking forward to see where it was going to go. But, in the end, it just seemed to peter out....:(

    Did anyone else 'get it'?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,418 ✭✭✭Jip


    I only watched it myself today and I was WTF was that all about ? Was Kai something to do with it ?
    Having said that I did enjoy the series.
