They went ahead and found the worst cover for this song:

I’m really excited to see Jack O’Connell in something like this. He’s fantastic in Starred Up and i had him pegged as the next Tom Hardy.

I’m also getting a kick out of seeing Lady Mary (shut up) as a western hero.

First episode is GOOD. Greatly atmospheric. Jeff Daniels is going to steal the whole show and there’s some serious Mad Max/Furiosa vibes between O’Connell and Dockery.

I won’t be able to continue until tomorrow afternoon, though.

There’s a cool Deputy Hawk cameo in it.

Not feeling the pilot at all.

It ends up surprisingly (disappointingly) generic. The whole “feminist western” angle is actually kind of a lie as it’s got 3 male leads.

It’s really the best version of a story you’ve seen several times before. Technically flawless but not surprising.

I feel like I’ve only started threads for ultimately passable or outright bad tv or film projects.

:shrug:

I got quite a bit further with The Deuce, but ultimately bailed out as I didn’t believe in any of the characters.

That feeling when you realize something you're just starting's gonna be fantastic.

Sigh. I wish Generation Smartphone-Gangsta' Rap had a desire to watch westerns. They make them better now than they ever had.

Really enjoying Godless, half way thru episode 2, and all the storylines and characters have settled into their groove.

If I had to decide between watching either the new season premiere of Game Of Thrones or the Deadwod movie my head would explode.
