Anybody even watching this shit?
Damn I hate to the damn good shows go to waste. I'm giving it one more season before it cancelled after the poor ratings.
I personally love it, lotsa cast members from The Sopranos and Boardwalk. I wonder what /tv/ think about the show?

havn't watched it, still pissed that they cancelled boardwalk empire for this shit
>>66861833
I feel you bro. Would've been awesome to see Boardwalk's original ending.
Its gonna get cancelled
Nobody interested in the "classical hbo crime dramas" now
that decade is over
>>66861808

For cable shows, it is often more cost effective to do a 2nd season of a show than to start a brand new show since all the actors, contracts, sets, directors, etc are all ready in place. It really doesnt mean anything since nobody is watching.
Two things I can say are wrong with this show for certain are one: It's got a really gimmicky, shtick feel to it with the cut scenes to actors playing artist singing their own songs. The costumes are fairly over the top. I get it, it's the 70s, it's the music industry but not everyone needs to look like they just walked out of a local thrift store. All the stuff with Andy Warhol and Alice Cooper just feels so "These were people that were around then! So 70s!" It's the same attitude with the coke use. It seems like a weird nit picky thing but it just feels so forced and fake.
Second issue: the focus in on the wrong characters. I can care less about the main guy. Fuck, I can't even remember his name. Devon has a far more interesting story, I don't understand why the show isn't about her.
I only watch this show whenever my room mate puts it on. I'll sit and watch but it's not because it's any good. It's just on. It kills an hour. I wouldn't be sad to see it go.
I thought the first ep was kinda lame tbqh, disappointed in Scorsese
im actually offended that hbo is trying to push this as some kind of prestige drama.
Just something off about it. It's an ok show but didn't have me as invested as Boardwalk Empire.
Maybe it's just because the music industry is not interesting
>>66861808
Does Juno Temple get naked? Otherwise I'm not watching this shit.
>>66864385
Oh yes
I can't get into it, on paper it seems like a interesting drama but in reality it just isn't. The only good parts of the show are when the rock stars show up other than that all the characters and their actions are cliches.

IT'S THE JACKEEEEET
The only good thing in this show is the industry shit. They should have played this show straight like Mad Men, instead we have this boring, shitty, forced murder plot line that fucking drags the show down.

Scorsese forced HBO to spend $100 million dollars on it. The pilot alone was $30 million dollars.
>>66864385
Of course she does.

>>66864403
>Oh yes
say no more
>>66864428
This. Also it has those Forrest Gump "look where the main character was during this historical situation" moments

>Scorsese forced HBO to spend $100 million dollars on it.
And yet HBO will not invest in one decent battle scene for GoT. Fucking kikes.

you watching with your eyes closed?
>>66861808
Im enjoying it. It's not with its flaws but It will probably be one of those shows that /tv/ marathons instead of watching when it airs.
>>66862635
>its not a crime show mate
are you fucking serious now?
>>66861808
why does it get so many few fucking views?
>SHE FUCKED MY BROTHER ON MY BIRTHDAY ON MY FFUCKING BED
