New one to me, Tim, but your review piques my interest. If only for the music. It’s either this or Sharon Osbourne’s cash grab at the Splat Action household for the 4th. But I can't say you didn't warn me.

Oh, it's good, Splat. But it's good like eating an entire bag of potato chips for dinner: it tastes good, but you know it's really bad for you, and you'll probably be hugging the toilet in agony in about an hour. Watch it. Just don't be fooled into believing it's the new *The Wire* or something.

Dude! Wow! I loved the movie so much, but was really skeptical about a tv series version , on basic cable no less. I worried that they would lose depth and the hints of humanity for spectacle. Thanks for watching so I don’t have to. Now go scrub your brain and get some rest.

You were correct, Amanda. I have never seen the movie. And as I said in here, the televisual version is well-crafted cruelty porn. It might be worth watching, but just understand what it is.
