Re: Low Winter Sun

Big Mark Strong fan, and as of late, AMC can do no wrong.

I've got it DVR'ed. Looking forward to catching it sometime this week.

Re: Low Winter Sun

Kind of a weird first episode. Didn't really explain the story well enough imo.

I agree. I thought the pilot was pretty convoluted and didn't show me anything I am dying to see more of.

Not interested in going forward with this one.

That's where I stand-very promising. Have to give it slack as a setup episode.

LOL, I totally misread 55's quote. Although it had it's failings, it's worth another shot. I'll give it two more episodes.

Will watch tonight, DVRd it.

Re: Low Winter Sun

Didn't do anything for me. Gonna pass. Maybe I'll come back to it if I hear it's getting good reviews in a month or two.

[JBH3]

Convoluted is right. ... I had no idea what was going on and who is who... and its not really done on a level that is intriguing either, its like written by someone with ADD or something.

Re: Low Winter Sun

Echo the same thoughts as everyone else. Kept it on because I saw Ziggy Sobotka in the first 10 minutes, but it didn't draw me in.

Re: Low Winter Sun

Still keeping me interested. The actor that played Ziggy (who Sandman mentioned above ^^) plays a ruthless criminal with his eyes on becoming the crime boss of Chicago. His fine girlfriend is equally ruthless (although not fully revealed just yet). There was a really good scene when Damon Callis (ZIGGY) and his #2 went to the black area of town to get permission from the head honcho to operate a cat house in his area. The big man agreed, as long as Callis was taxed.

Re: Low Winter Sun

The first two episodes didn't do it for me, I might check it out later but I think I'll pass for now.

Re: Low Winter Sun

My wife and I kind of liked it. We waited on watching the show for some time, but finally watched he pilot and second episode.

I don't know why anyone thinks the plot is complicated. I thought it was pretty simple. I'm not positive it holds up long term, but for now I like the story.

AMC summed up the plot in less than one minute:

Re: Low Winter Sun

The fact that they had to have someone explain what is going after three episodes is a problem. That was probably the weirdest first episode of a show that I have seen. Didn't really explain anything at all and was awful and at conveying what was going on.

Re: Low Winter Sun

I really love what they've done with Detroit though, the way they made it look like such a wasteland....

Re: Low Winter Sun

Yeah they've really prettied it up!
