    Loving that show.

    Jon Voight is freakin' AWESOME in it. And last night they introduced the new character with James Woods playing that part.

    You can tell those guys are having a blast with these characters.

          It shows on HBO/MovieCentral here where I am. But yes, I see it's a showtime production.

          Yes, her character definitely does smack of her trying to be Carmela Soprano much of the time.

          Well, except for this week's episode where she spontaneously decides to steel a $3000 pair of boots from a shop. Carmela would have rather shat in public than pull a stunt like that.

            I don't have HBO, so fuck 'em. I waited until until Sporanos had run it's course and then watched it start to finish over a one month period. I can wait.

            Lots of stuff on TV in the mean time.

                It's a fantastic show. Well written, great acting.

                My favorite however was Magic City on Starz but they cancelled it along with Boss ( another awesome show )

                    I have missed the last couple of episodes, but have the recorded. I have really liked what I have seen so far. It is an interesting show with some great performances.

                        No. No, unless you're subscribe to them via Cable TV. Yes.

                              Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

                                Magic City is canceled? I just watched the latest episode on Starz this last Friday. When did they decide to cancel it?

                                  House of Lies is my favorite all time. I wish it would come back.

                                    Great show so far, Liev Schreiber is so raw and foreboding as Ray (sure wouldn't mess with him). Jon Voight is awesome as mentioned. Can't wait to see where it goes.

                                      Magic City has got to be expensive to produce, being set in the 60's -- or is it 50's? Either way, the sets, wardrobe, hair styling, vehicles...it has to be pricey for such a small show.

                                      It's got some of the finest looking girls I've ever seen in a TV show.

                                        It was set in 1959. I really liked Magic City too, especially being produced here in South Florida. It didn't get a lot of traction and viewership however and season two ended in multiple cliffhangers that will never get resolved unfortunately.

                                          Why wish? It had already been renewed for a third season back in January 2013 .

                                              I was really disheartened by the canceling of the show. I thought it was one of the smartest .. and sexiest shows on TV.

                                              Worse IMHO ... was the article. Apparently Starz has decided to focus on " broadly appealing, commercial dramas" (shit TV).

                                                Wonder if another network like HBO, Showtime or even AEE might pick something like this up? The show did get nominated for a Golden Globe.

                                                  The show wasn't anywhere near popular enough unfortunately to be worth the bother.

                                                            Idealy I'd like to see HBO put together another really great series but have it run longer than just a measly 10 or 12 episodes per year. Half the time you've all but forgotten about a series no matter how good it is when you only see it for a few months and then a year goes by before you get another taste.

                                                            But it most likely won't happen so I won't hold my breath.

                                                            Pretty much every drama series of this nature has a "bit of a slow start", mostly because they have to introduce the characters and establish plotlines etc. But I could see almost immediately in the first two episodes that I was going to like this one.

                                                            I love Shreiber's line in that last episode, while on his car phone to a client -

                                                            "I'm not the kind of guy you fire."

Half the time you've all but forgotten about a series no matter how good it is when you only see it for a few months and then a year goes by before you get another taste.

                                                                          But it most likely won't happen so I won't hold my breath.



                                                                          Pretty much every drama series of this nature has a "bit of a slow start", mostly because they have to introduce the characters and establish plotlines etc. But I could see almost immediately in the first two episodes that I was going to like this one.

                                                                          I love Shreiber's line in that last episode, while on his car phone to a client -

                                                                          "I'm not the kind of guy you fire."

                                                                          :D

                                                                            Yeah, that kid may have sealed his fate when he pushed Ray's daughter's head down trying to get her to give him head. His reaction when she said no is grounds enough for any dad putting his entitled wannabe hoodrapper ass through a wall several times.

                                                                            Ray needs to bury the little puke, but he probably won't because his daughter is being all stupidly defensive of him, which is typical of a lot of young females who think every badass punk they meet is a "nice guy".
