You had it all. Rome. Larry. Wire. Six Feet Under. Deadwood. Carnivale. The list of AAA shows with the sort of writing man had probably never seen on telly before or since, was endless.
What do you have today?
A show about underage girls having sex with gangsters.
Brillant.
What's next? A show about a male prostitute?
Whoops..beat me to it.
Seriously. i write this in the hope one day someone at hbo reads it. and realizes how awful bloody awful they have become. they are a porn channel. no more. no less.
And they used to be the best. not one of. but THE best.
Why did you sell out for lots of money?
