John from Cincinnati - Season 1 (1 Viewer)

[Don S]

I'm enjoying every bit of this show, confusing as it is at times. The show has an odd attraction to it...

 

[seanOhara]

This isn't particularly encouraging.


I don't mind whacked out Lynchian stories, but I like knowing they're going somewhere.

 

[TravisR]

If it makes you feel any better, he didn't know anything about the future of Deadwood when he was doing that show either.

 

[ErichH]

Milch is just being coy.

Of course they dangle us with John's statement just before the 3 head out.
Funny - Butchie has yet to be high, but he keeps trying with no success. Even the OZ in the first episode was not the real thing (thanks to Freddy looking after him with fake product)

Where the hell is Mitch?

If this show isnt drawing anymore following than us few people posting on this forum here as part of a market demographic, then Milch & HBO have bigger problems.....:frowning: IE: it wont be around long....

 

[TravisR]

According to what I've read, it's pulling down an average of 4.5 million viewers per episode (between all the showings on HBO and On Demand viewings) so it's not doing that bad... and that's still surprising to me.

 

[todbnla]

WOW! Like I say, a lot of talent on this show, just odd to figure out WTF is going on...

 

[ErichH]

You should check the boards at HBO (under community from the shows page)

How many viewers does a hit show get(not American Idol)?

Anyone know what the other major HBO shows got/get(Deadwood, Wire, Sopranos, SFU)?

I thought the show was going to revolve more around Mitch yost, not Butchie. I am glad though because I love Butchie's character.

I have two theories;

A: John is Jesus in his second coming. (I'm sure I'm not the only one to think this)

B: They're all dead/in purgetory. (Wait is this the Lost thread?)

 

[TravisR]

David Milch made a voice cameo in Barry's hallucination.

 

[MarkMel]

Still watching and still don't know what's going on - but yet I like it.

 

[Patrick Sun]

This show gives me a headache after I watch each week's episode. Where's it heading? A little part of me was cheering when Bill slapped John for his parrot talking.

 

[todd stone]

Bill STEALS the show. jesus christ JESUS CHRIST!

 

[ScottH]

This show is hanging on by a thread for me right now. I really liked it in the beginning but it seems it's going nowhere at this point. I'm all for the intrigue, but throw me a bone. I've been pretty much bored out of my mind the last three episodes.

 

[Dave Scarpa]

I agree it seems to be spinning it's wheels padding time for the final episode to reveal something. It seems alot of the scenes in the last 3 shows have been redundant. It really does need to advance the storyline. And where's Bruce Greenwood ? His characters has been off to Hawaii or something the last few eps. Did the actor jump ship ?

 

[MarkMel]

The previews show he will be back this week.

 

[TravisR]

I'm not all that optimistic that there will be a big reveal in the finale. John is an instrument of god that has come to help the Yost family but they're never going to state that definitively.

 

[ErichH]

Perhaps the bone is John manifesting himself and others into different locations in the past weeks, but it's subtle.
Not as much fun as floating in air, reversing death, healing wounds, etc.

I'll admit, I've been ready for a little CGI magic or something on that order.

My guess - Milch will never pay off the angel/alien question.

 

[Patrick Sun]

This show has turned into somewhat of a disappointment for me (by episode 4, actually), but one more episode to go, might as well finish it up next week.
