Short TV Post
I'm trying to like HBO's new show from the creators of Deadwood, John From Cincinnati, but right now I find it more interesting than satisfying. There will soon be nowhere to go with the extraterrestrial/angel theme. The quotidian details of a surfer dynasty/family are nothing compared to that. It is also disconcerting to see Deadwood guys show up here--Charlie Utter, Ellsworth, the Ripper like homicidal Francis Wolcott, and the county agent, are all here as dope dealer Steady Freddy (Dayton Callie), Vietnam Joe (Jim Beaver), doctor Michael Smith (Garret Dilahunt) and hospital inside counsel respectively. Very disconcerting.
But, man, does Rebecca De Mornay look good. I'll give it to the end of the season.
UPDATE: But I forgot to say that the music was great--somethiing in Spanish from David Byrne, Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes and the end credit music, by my favorite band after the Beatles and Stones, the Yardbirds, Over Under Sideways Down. Very nice indeed.
