John From Cincinnati

Just finished watching my second episode ever of this a minute ago and, not saying good or bad, but what the hell am I watching? 

 

It's kind of compelling for a reason that I can't ascertain right now (tired,1:53 am, bottle wine), and I think I'll watch next week,

 

but what the hell point or direction if any are they taking?

 

 

 

?

The thing about this show is.....nobody knows where the hell this show is going, I have watched all the episodes now just to see if it has a point.

 

After the 2nd episode I did some searching on Google and even the critics who got to see the 1st 3 before us said they don't know where the show is going but felt compelled to watch.  Weird show that keeps you tuning in week after week.

Pocket, I think that the show has successfully ensnared me for at least two more weeks.

Its not bad, and I kind of want to find out what the hell is going on.  So i'll keep watching,

compelling?

 

if this shit was on showtime you people wouldnt give 2 shits about it but because its on HBO you get suckered in to watching it

 

 

Bring back Sopranos!!

 

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not saying this thing is a classic.  When you watch it though, it seems to go nowhere, yet you want to see what the hell is going on and where this John guy came from.  They give you no real clues, so it makes me keep tuning in.

I'm in for now, mostly because there's nothing else on and I tune in for Entourage anyway.

I like the characters and want to give it a few more episodes.

Yeah,  I guess just because its HBO I am suckered into watching it  I watch it because its interesting and I am intrigued by the story so far.  I tune in because there is nothing better on and I dont have anything else to do on sunday night.

 

But NJDevils, Showtime is not to be brushed aside too quickly as being the stepchild of the movie channel original series genre.

 

Afterall, they are the home to one of my favs, "Weeds".

 

My guess is Cincinnati.

 

That's what is messed up about it, it never says where he is from.  He repeats things people say, and the guy asked him "are you from Cincinatti or something John", and most of his answers to questions are the questions themselves.

So what in the hell happened on that show last night? I dont even know what to say.

I think we found out he is sent from God and he is trying to help all those people out.

 

 

Entourage   BEST SHOW OUT RIGHT NOW

dennis...i started the same thread in general discussion......maybe some of the explanations will help ya out.....I didn't realize you had already started the same exact thread

 

 

Brotherhood on Showtime is great...never heard of it till last week..watched all 11 episodes in 3 days..WANT MORE

 

totally agree!!

housebeer...yes brotherhood is good.... but my point is nobody goes nuts about these showtime shows even if they are good and then HBO shows get a free pass because they are on HBO

I'm loving it, whether I'm understanding it or not.
