Episode 5 is amazing. Maybe the best hour of fictional television I've ever seen.

Great recommendation. As good as Harrelson obviously is I think McConaughey is absolutely stealing it and I can see the mountain of awards at his door already.

Corker from HBO I reckon.

We're up to episode 5 and the story has really opened up. Episodes 4 and 5 very strong, building nicely to a climax.

Up to ep5 now, completely agree on McConaughey, never used to like him up until Lincoln Lawyer, but he is outstanding in this, what a great actor!

This is better than 99.9% of the films made today - better photography, better script, better acting.

A really superb show IMO - its walking a very fine line between the surreality of "Russ" and the more down to earth Woody Harrelson character. Long may it continue.

Just watched the first one. Woody still annoys me but really enjoyed that. Something a little different.

Watched the first 2 episodes yesterday and would thoroughly agree with this statement, utterly compelling story, superb acting and brilliant cinematography.

Watch out for the robbery in Episode 4 - all shot in one long shot and just the most sensational pieces of filmed television.

A fabulous tv show.
