Erin and I were both big fans of Deadwood. so we were sad to see that HBO cancelled it after last season. The good news was that David Milch was gonna do another show about a family of surfers called John From Cincinnati.
Being Deeadwood and NYPD Blue fans we gave John From Cincinnati a shot. Man does it suck. Not only does it suck, but is sucks so bad that HBO announced on Tuesday that the show will not be returning for a second season.
The show was loaded with good actors like Rebecca De Mornay, Willie Garson, Bruce Greenwood, Luis Guzmán, and Ed O'Neill. Even Luke Perry wasn't bad in it. There were also like 4 or 5 actors from Deadwood.
The problem was the story went nowhere and the dialog was dry, boring, and way over every ones head. It is Milch so I was expecting some of that but it was really unwatchable.
Every time we watched an episode all I could think of was, "they cancelled Deadwood for this?"
We have one more episode on the DVR left. The question is do I watch it or delete it into the DVR abyss??? I won't get any kind of conclusion out of it and it will only remind me why the show got cancelled.
