John From Cincinnati

tv

In the absence of The Sopranos, I was looking for a new drama to sink my eyeballs into, so we decided to try John From Cincinnati.

John From Cincinnati was created by David Milch and Kem Nunn.  Milch created the very cool Deadwood, and John From Cincinnati is equally compelling.  It's hard to describe, but it sticks to you and draws you in.

I read a negative review in the New Yorker before watching the pilot, so I was ready to ditch it.  It has such a weird feel to it I kept coming back for more.  I'm five episodes in and digging it, but I keep reading about poor ratings and I fear HBO may pull the plug before I see this through.

Only the good die young.
