    Black Sails. Pirates done better than the Johnny Depp movies.

    Penny Dreadful. Witches, werewolves, vampires, immortals, and Eva Green as a psychic.

    Landman. Billy Bob Thornton as the site manager for an independent oil company. Has to deal with the cartels who smuggle across his feilds; the crazy idiots who work for him; the maniac who he works for; and his psycho family.

        Hear, hear!

        And yet, it wasn’t as bad as the Los Angeles version. Who ever thought that Nathan Lane would be a good choice to play a tough cop?

      Tried finally watching Penny Dreadful last week. The first two episodes were great and I thought I was gonna be hooked, but then it shifts gears into boring backstories and I gave up.

      Reminded me a bit of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
