It seems like no one is watching this show.

I have enjoyed it a lot.

Every week I think Richie can't be any more fricked...and each week he finds himself more fricked.

Haven't watched last night's episode, but we have a few watchers. Opinions are mixed. It has a second season to grab some folks and maybe some people will binge in the offseason from GoT and catch up. I think the show has a lot going for it, but it has been a little uneven and is running out of time to really make a punch.

But, I've liked it so far. It was almost tailor made for me, though, as I really dig that period of time.

I think it's been getting better almost every week.

But I see Terence Winter is out: Creative differences

I've enjoyed it a lot. As Ace said, the 70's is a time period I really dig. This last episode really set up for a solid season finale IMO and I expect there to be chaos.

It's gotten better and better


I know lots of people watched the premiere and jumped ship and I understand. It was a mess, however it has gotten better each week.

I really like it. Ray Romano has surprised the hell out of me. He's like a real actor now.

The main complaint I hear is that the characters are unsympathetic but that really doesn't bother me. I find it to be a very compelling show regardless of it not having much moral grounding. That time period in rock music was pretty well known for hedonism and excess anyway. I think that's kind of the point.

Ray Romano has been my favorite in it besides Olivia Wilde.

Man that Juno temple scene really did it for me

That is a sexy little beesh and the fact that she's freaky like that ??

I'm a fan of the show and I'll watch another season. As others have mentioned, exciting to see that time period explored

I started yesterday and still binging.

I like it, but I think it's due more to me not watching anything else right now.

I've been digging it. It's definately slow cooking, but the scenes like the Elvis meeting and watching gacked-up Ray Romano make it worthwhile. The birth of Disco scene last night was cool, and looks like Juno is gonna cause some static for the Nasty Bits.

It started off slow motion. Since has gotten a lot better though. The soundtrack of each episode is the best thing about it though.

I just can't get over how terrible a band name "The Nasty Bits" is.

I kind of want to try it, but the 2 hour first episode is a psychological hurdle. I have to be pretty damn sure a show is good before I invest more than an hour in it.

They should have just started it with a solid hour to hook a viewer.

I didn't find the premier to be the chore all you guys are making it out to be.
