Anyone watching it? It is on AMC. Have watched the first 2 episodes, third just aired. It is very well made, great writing and cinematography. Story is very dark.
Why do you read that kind of crap, Art? Seriously, I don't get it.

No I haven't but I'm going to throw a temper tantrum before The Walking Dead comes back on. Did you hear Stephen King might be writing one of the episodes?
How many times have I told you not to play with the dirty money??

I have read many King books back in the day.

Very slow like Rubicon.

Pacing is slow, obviously by design, my guess is that it adds to the mood and viewer tension.

Looks like they're taking a page from Clint Eastwood's Mystic River.

Still have O idea who the killer is. I'm thinking someone close to Rosie though; i.e. Stan's brother?/best-friend? or someone out of left-field like Linden's partner; Holden?/Holger?

I hadn't watched this until this week...ran through the full season (so far) in about three nights. We're really liking this show. Very good. The poli sci professor in me thinks the mayor or his campaign are behind it. I also suspect the mother's sister for some reason.

This week's episode sucked my nuts. In a show about a murder, how do you have a one hour BS "where's my kid run off to?" episode? Lame. First time in the whole series I was disappointed with an episode.

I think this was merely a plot device to inject a degree of romanticism into Linden/Holden's relationship a la Mulder and Scully.
