jpb-67861 I really enjoy this series, comical and refreshing. But, James Purefoy's accent is on the verge of awful. I realize he's English, but they fumbled this casting. It's not even close to being Southern and/or Cajun. I'll probably keep watching as the series has some nice moments.
insideout098 I don't get this show at all. it started out as a kind of comedic buddy flick with Hap and Leonard doing the things they do down in the swamp lands of East Texas. And for that it was great. But that constituted about ten minutes of the first episode before everything went straight to hell. It was no longer a comedy at all, but rather an existential nightmare reminiscent of Dante's Inferno, but without all the pyrotechnics. Nothing could possibly redeem this wreck of a show but the acting, which did not include the obligatory homicidal psychopath, Jimmy Simpson and his apparently bionic, blood-thirsty and equally psychopathic Pollyanna whomever. If you like misery and violence counterbalanced with 10 minutes of humor in the first episode, have at it.
Ron Steinhauser Dear writers of this show:I just finished watching the 3rd Season, and I wanted you to know that you have permanently lost a viewer.The way you wrapped up Florida's story was the lamest, most pointless and most useless ending for a character I have ever seen.After putting her through all of that, and have her survive only to be killed by a flash flood while no one else was even scratched, you created the ultimate waste of time to watch. You turned her character into nothing but Pathos, after creating a very strong female character.I want the six hours I spent watching the 3rd season back. You made it impossible for me to ever enjoy these characters again.You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Michael Ledo Hap (James Purefoy) which is not short for happy or hapless is best friends with Leonard ( Michael Kenneth Williams) who we later find out is gay. Waitress Trudy (Christina Hendricks) is Hap's friend with benefits. Hap is the one looking for a relationship. Trudy is also with Howard (Bill Sage) a 60's hippy ideologue. Their character is built with numerous background fillers that are somewhat pointless at this juncture of the series.The goal of this group (plus 2 others) is to recover stolen bank money from the bottom of a river. The early episodes end with a couple of odd characters who look like they stepped out of a Tarantino film. They are developed in a plot filled with betrayal and twists. They is also a lot of Silver Spur beer, Dr. Pepper, and Vanilla Wafers.Guide: No F-words or nudity. Brief sex scenes. Sex talk.
