Awesome first episode.
Terrible first episode. Remember when HBO had shows that weren’t boring?
They still do. Game of Thrones is great as is Girls. The Girls are unlikable but the show has good dialogue and Lena Dunham is making fun of their being unlikable.
If you’re showing up for the third season premiere, they must be doing something right.
Crazy about this show – dazzling first episode! Billie Kent character terrific and fun. Bravo Terry Winter and company, best
show on television
Another amazing episode even without the lack of you know who they didn’t miss a beat definitely one of the best shows on television and if given another couple seasons on of the all time greats. Great new character Gyp he’s going to make for some interesting tv.
