    Caught it a week or two ago through a Showtime preview thing.

    I am SO in on this one.

    I keep forgetting that they put the pilot episode up on demand already. Will definitely check it out....previews looked great.

    Yeah it's pretty good, right? Some interesting characters...

    Has the pilot aired or is it only on demand at this point?

    Giamatti is badass!

    Yes, so far only on demand. I believe the premier is this Sunday.

    Okay cool.

    Yeh he is. And his wife's an even more interesting character actually.

    Lots of potential here!

    Agreed on the wife! I didn't want to give any spoilers.

    Really looking forward to getting into this, especially with Homeland done for now.

    Anyone catch last night's ep? May on demand it in a bit, although I'm currently having too much fun reading some of the ticket posts at the moment =)

    So far I've seen the first two episodes. I really like the pacing and back and forth between scenes with Axelrod and Giammati.

    Yeah, I'm really liking it. Loved that Axelrod was wearing a Metallica t-shirt when he told that family he was shorting them $16M because the grandfather was an asshole back in the day.

    I really need to watch last Sunday's ep already - that scene sounds great.

    I like it. Watched the second episode last night. But I don't adore it. Not yet. The opening scene in the first episode - spoiler alert here - my husband said, "She's gonna turn out to be his wife." I like the two guys, but her character seems forced. I'd be happier if it was just about the two guys going back and forth.

    About to get back into the last one and loving it. Very cool to see Penn Jillette on there too.

    Does Giamatti's voice sound reminiscent of Saul Berenson's (Homeland) to anyone else?

    Oh so good! And agreed on the family scene.
  • I dig it. I kind of regret watching the first two episodes a week ahead. They didn't put the 3rd one up early on their streaming service.

    This is getting better and better.

    "What's the difference between ass lube and regular lube?"

    "Viscosity."

    Loving Giamatti more than anything but could do with less of the wife stuff.

    Now...Axe's wife? Bring her it on!
