Exactly. Excellent character and portrayal by Lewis.

So much so, that I used his name as my character name when playing Medal of Honor on LAN games... give him a promotion as well... General Winters FTW!

HBO President Is Taking the Blame For True Detective Season 2

HBO president of programming Michael Lombardo is officially saying you can blame him for True Detective's lackluster sophomore season.

The HBO executive told The Frame that he rushed series creator Nic Pizzolatto into delivering a second season, which may explain why it felt unfocused and a poor imitation of the show's critically acclaimed first effort. "When we tell someone to hit an air date as opposed to allowing the writing to find its own natural resting place, when it's ready, when it's baked -- we've failed," Lombardo said. "And I think in this particular case, the first season of True Detective was something that Nic Pizzolatto had been thinking about, gestating, for a long period of time."

Lombardo also says that he got too caught up in being an executive rather than being compassionate to the creative side of things. "I became too much of a network executive at that point. We had huge success. 'Gee, I'd love to repeat that next year,'" he said. "Well, you know what? I set him up. To deliver, in a very short time frame, something that became very challenging to deliver. That's not what that show is. He had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Find his muse. And so I think that's what I learned from it. Don't do that anymore."

I like Damian Lewis. He was particularly good in The Forsyte Saga.

Something like Sonarr is incredibly useful, and at times depressing, when it comes to hiatus season.

Just started using Sonarr - works like a charm.

Some shows seem to be showing up earlier than anticipated.....

I read a review... don't get your hopes up... words used were: little bit of a low budget, recycled tolkien story line, etc.

To be fair that's not a fault of the TV production, that criticism has been made frequently about the original book series.

I'm not sure what you mean here?

Also, because this show is on MTV, I think we'll see a lot of "feelings"

 

[Cray]

Simply that "recycled Tolkien story line" was a criticism levelled at the original Shannara Trilogy (books). If the TV production is being true to the source work then that criticism would still apply.
