Cityfan Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The ending of the second episode was just strange, very strange. I take it the bleeding man stumbling out of the woods was one of the men who's survived the robbery? It's been a decent start, but I have to admit, I was expecting a little bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Aye its not gonna be for everyone - its very slow paced. It almost seems like nothing is happening alot of the time but it does without you really realising if that makes sense. You don't really have cliffhanger endings at the end of episodes, its not 'action packed' either and for some it just wont be their cup of tea. However I think its brilliantly directed, acted and later in the series it really goes into depth of some of the characters. All of things I love in a tv show 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Valley Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 That Jimmy has got issues, was that really his mother? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoframbo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Ah've downloaded and watched all 12 episodes now. It's slow. Very very slow. Not that it's bad as such, but it always seemed poised to come to life without ever igniting. Without giving spoilers the agent weirdo guy and the sniper are excellent, Omar fae the Wire is under used. Fair share of clunge in it too. Which is nice.

Lisa Cuddy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 That Jimmy has got issues, was that really his mother? If that's how he and his mother normally greet each other, it's little wonder the lad has issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Indeed, was a bit strange. Was expecting it to be his bit on the side. That's exactly what we thought. When he called her "Ma" we both just looked at each other, really quite unsure what to make of it. It's Atlantic City, not Alabama! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 It's pretty good so far, Steve Buscemi is surprisingly good as a gangster of sorts. The best thing about it though is the detailed sets and backgrounds. I love all the boardwalk shops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Djemba-Djemba Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have really enjoyed the 2 episodes which have been shown. I did not expect it to be as slow-paced as it is but tbh it does not really bother me as my fravourite show Mad Men is aslo slow paced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing about it though is the detailed sets and backgrounds. I love all the boardwalk shops. The incubator shop makes my uterus skip a beat. Did anyone find Mrs Schroder getting a beating off her husband a bit disturbing with the kids watching? I felt really uncomfortable. Young kids, just actors and they looked terrified! I can't remember the layout of the scene or that now and obviously it was meant to appear to us that the kids saw the whole thing, but I wonder how much time they spent filming it and how much play-violence the actors actually saw. The little girl appeared to be really upset and I felt bad for watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Watched the first episode last night and I'll catch the second one latter on tonight. I like what I'm seeing so far. I've not read any of the previous posts in case there's some spoilers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marching in Flipflops Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The pilot episode was the most expensive in tv history, but the sets are stunning. I've watched the whole series and have been really impressed. Yes, it is slow paced, but it has allowed much greater character depth than you would normally be afforded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, its coming along very nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints1884 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Every time I see Stephen Graham on this I think of him in the video for Fluorescent Adolescent Artic Monkeys. Also his accent isn't that good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marching in Flipflops Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 There are some similarities to The Sopranos. The mob, set in New Jersey. Screenplay shares a common ancestry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 This program is great, I think it's going to be right up there with the Soprano's!. Loving it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I really can't warm to Buscemi at all. I didn't like him in The Sopranos and I don't like him in this. The show itself has promise, but I can't help thinking it will end up in a story I have seen loads of times before, The Untouchables. That Lucky Luciano scene at the doctor though, that had me crossing my legs in pain.

Steve McQueen Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The first 2 were on Sky 3 on Sunday, missed it but may be worthwhile for people without Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
