I mean, Milch's other shows, Deadwood and NYPD Blue, turned out better than they sounded, too.

This show falls into "I want to believe" territory for me; it SEEMS like it should be good, but... IIRC, the first three episodes of Deadwood almost turned me off the series, so maybe I'll be better off waiting for a run of six episodes worth of continuity to t0rr3nt before i dip my toe in.
Incidentally, now that a lot of shows are going on hiatus; what's worth getting in big, season-long bites at seasons end? The Riches?

such a terrible title. i wonder if it'll be worse than deadwood.

The previews certainly make it look like he's Jesus from Christ.

the previews look pretty lame but i'll def. give it a go. i've liked enough hbo shows to try something i otherwise wouldn't. 'big love' never hooked me, & i never liked the larry david thing or 'arli$$' (i know i'm in a total minority there) -- but i've been hooked even by just-okay shows like 'carnivale'.
'the riches' is unwatchable to me, just the way they have minnie driver and eddie izzard delivering those awful american accents -- izzard sounds like he swallowed a dozen marbles every time he talks, yikes!
with even the crappy "stories" i like going off the air now (i sometimes watch 'the shield') ummm, i guess it's time to read 'moby dick' or something? or else just re-watch old seasons of all the shows i like...

I read the pilot like a year ago. If I recall it was totally great. But then I am a total Milch dude.

I made a thread on this before somewhere. Maybe sandbox.

sfgate.com columnist said the first three episodes are terrible and milch moving to this is mystifying.
