Da Cap'n 2099 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 James Purefoy (Rome, The Following) and Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire) star in this Quentin Tarantino meets Banshee meets True Blood(without the supernatural element)-ish show that has become my new favorite of the moment. Also, Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) is in this (need I say more). It's a 6 episode first season, but only 3 eps have come out so far. It's frickin' great, guys. Get on it. Did I mention Christina Hendricks? Quote
The NZA Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 you like just told me to catch up on house of cards bruh Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Can't you watch more than one thing at a time? Those eyes... Had to. I apologize. Quote
Iambaytor Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Hap and Leonard is based on a series of novels by Joe R. Lansdale (writer of the Bruce Campbell old-man-Elvis-versus-a-mummy-in-a-nursing-home movie Bubba Ho-Tep which was originally a short story.) The first book Savage Season, on which this season is based) is decent but the books get better after it. Season 2 is gonna be good and season 3 should be spectacular. But those last 3 episodes should be pretty great, stuff is about to go down. You guys should also check out Cold in July. Same writer, same director, same screenwriter but it's got a great John Carpenteresque score, Don Johnson as a pig-farming private investigator, and Michael C. Hall with a mullet. Quote

Iambaytor Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 There's a fellow Lansdale fan on here and we have no thread? You're killing me, Custer. Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 It's On Demand. If you have AMC you can watch it. Quote
alive she cried Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I want to watch this but I've got no means I got your back man. p.s. This sounds very intriguing, once I get my summer holidays so many shows are getting the fuck watched out of them. Edited May 15, 2016 by alive she cried Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Three eps into the 2nd season and this shit is hot fire! Suspense. Drama. Action. Comedy. And a little social commentary. This show has it all. If there was ever a show for Nick, this would be it. Quote
Iambaytor Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 It's back? Oh shit, this season is gonna be a great one. Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 So far it's delivering. I love this show. Quote
The NZA Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 onto the list this one goes! I want to watch this but I've got no means if you have internets, you have means Quote
Keth Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 years later/ Finally getting on this. Two eps in and I'm loving it. Needs more Jimmy Simpson, like everyhing does I've decided as of late. 1 Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Posted March 3, 2018 I STILL haven't seen the last two episodes of the 2nd season. Somehow they're nowhere to be found on the internet (and, trust me, I've tried to find 'em). One day Netflix will throw the second season up and I can finish (probably already up, haven't looked in a while, brb). Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Posted March 3, 2018 I SAY GODDAMN! SEASON 2 IS UP!!! Quote
Keth Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 wut^ Any way I finally finished season one and goddamn this show is good. Season 2 is going well also. They need to get S3 up on netflix. Damn shame it won't be coming back for a 4th season though. Quote
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 Since this is on AMC's sister station, SundanceTV, it had no chance and why it was cancelled. And it sucks. This is a really fun show with some great things to say. Quote

Well Keef, you have an opportunity that a lot of Hondonians don't because you work in a used bookstore in Texas where Joe R. Lansdale books litter the streets. Last time I was in you guys' mystery section was an embarrassment of riches in regards to Joe R. Lansdale books, particularly Hap and Leonard. 1 Quote
Keth Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Oh yeah, I'm gonna keep an eye out for them. Lansdale in general, I'd love to read his horrory stuff too. Quote
Visitant Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 You had me at Christina Hendricks. (also have you seen Good Girls with her in it?) Quote
