From Hollywood Reporter:

Looks.... interesting. I will confess, I no longer get super excited for Showtime series after it came out how much executives insert themselves into the creative process.

I've got the DVR set.

watched 8 seconds of the trailer. No thanks.

Showtime's placed the full pilot online: http://www.sho.com/sho/video/titles/...eries-premiere

Anyone watching? First couple episodes are intriguing enough.

Haven't yet but still planning to.

WTF was with the Josh Hartnett shit

Jebus. Everybody wants what Dorian Gray has got.

the real question is who's the butch and who's the bitch

On a sidenote I wonder if there will be an introduction of Captain Ahab/Ishmael

Since they mentioned that Proteus could've been a "Whaler"

Wow! That's all that I can say... Wow!

EVA GREEN

I'm in . Been a fan of Eva Green since Casino Royale.

What ep is series in?

No idea. I haven't had time to watch it yet.

If only there was a way to search for such information...

Or you could just, you know, answer the question for him.

I don't know the answer. I'd have to Google it.

Upon a search, which Rausch could have done himself, it looks like Sunday's episode was No. 6 of 8.

Hopefully you didn't strain anything during that herculean effort.

Suck it. It was someone else being too lazy to Google, not like I had the info and refused to give it.

Sorry to put you out so much. Hope you didn't break a nail.

I can't understand you with Rauch's dick in your mouth.

Is that the best you could come up with? I was having fun there for a while. :(

Not really trying. Genuinely confused why you're bagging on me instead of the guy who came asking a question that could have easily been answered with a 3-second Google search. Makes no sense to me. You seem to have buddy-buddy relationship with Rausch, such that you feel the need to harass me for implying he was lazy. So whatever.

I was just ****ing with you to keep myself entertained while I clean my apartment. Or, rather, while I surf the 'net while thinking I should be cleaning my apartment.

OK then. Carry on.

Finally watching the pilot. Really like this so far.

Solid first season.

I knew he was something, but werewolf never entered my mind. Good on them for making the obvious less... obvious.

Already renewed for a second, 10-ep season.

Watched every episode back to back yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Of particular interest to me is the Frankenstein storyline.

Josh Harnett? Havent seen him in anything since Pearl harbor.

Remember when they were at the zoo and he calmed the ravenous dogs without a word? That was the give away...

Ah... you're right!

Couldn't get through the second episode. Tired of these supernatural shows I guess.

Then, sorry to drift off topic, you missed out on a great movie he did, Lucky Number Slevin.

One of those movies I can pop on whenever and still enjoy no matter how many times I've seen it.

I tried it and just not my bag. Thought you should know this information.

I've started it and want to like it. I'm through the first 3, but haven't found it too compelling, but I'm down with the nature and subject of the show, so I'll probably give it at least through season 2, because 8 episodes is a short sample sometimes for a show to find it's legs.

Now, Silicon Valley, also had a short "tester" season that premiered this summer had me hooked after the 1st episode.

Different strokes for different folks, as the saying goes.

this made me chuckle if you watch the "Demimonde" episode.

Promo for season 2:

I never finished the first season. It's still sitting on the DVR.

This show is ****ing so badass. There is not a single wink to the audience. Played so straight, which is what makes it so much better than the True Bloods of the world.

It's like Walking Dead, but you don't just want to kill yourself every week.
