HAP-AND-LEONARD_hap-collins_james-purefoy_leonard-pine-michael-k-williams_03_1000x594.jpg

 

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?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
