Read some reviews either v v good or v v poor, gave it an hour and had to turn over...and that southern drawl didn't help

hard to understand at times alright.

Quite enjoyed it,but agree the conversations were hard to follow at times.Going to stick with it to see where it goes.

I have a feeling it's not going to end with everyone skipping happily off into the sunset Sad

Got halfway through the first episode and gave up.

Far too slow and the lead (McConaughey) makes me want to kill myself. Never heard anyone so depressing.

Good first episode .....don't like formula 45 minute yank shows .....take your time.

Oh and it was in my good books for having the theme music from the wonderful Handsome Family.

Not an easy watch but intend to stick with it.Was very close to switching off but by the end of the program was quite enjoying it.

Really getting into it now.Fine acting from the two lead characters and the story is developing nicely.

Honorable mention to the girl who got her kit off this week.Excited

Watched the first episode last night and was zzzzz! I was like that after the first few breaking bad episodes though so will carry on!

Episode four was insane - grand theft autoesque.

Great series. McConaughey is outstanding.

Good story, Good characterisaton, good acting.....whats not to like?
Report Ozymandius • March 26, 2014 12:33 PM GMT
Have given up on this.  Too much mumbling.  The plot appears to be almost irrelevant and of little interest.  Not for me.
Report OldGold • March 26, 2014 6:16 PM GMT
Did you reach number four Ozymandius?  I would recommend you watch that at least.
Report sixtwosix • March 26, 2014 6:40 PM GMT
Four was very good , as was this weeks and their description on the 'attack' they were under from the evil hillbillies.
Report Ozymandius • March 26, 2014 7:48 PM GMT
The final scene in 4 was impressive...but was completely plucked from nowhere in terms of plot development (as was that entire episode) and didn't fit with the rest of the show from a cinematography pov.  Almost indulgent, there to show that he could create such a scene.

It was after that scene that I threw in the towel.  I can handle character progression or revelatory shows but need some semblance of underlyng plot. Over acted at times too.  Or maybe I just don't get it Confused

Fair summary, it was random but at the end I was just like wtf was that (in a good way).  I'll stick with it.
Report Gin • September 11, 2014 9:01 AM BST
Finally got around to watching this (watched the last episode last night).

I thought it was a great series although the finale was a bit disappointing. Would definitely recommend it though if you haven't seen it.
