At least Megan Rath is in the mix too.

Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
But that plenty of black people write memoirs about shit, and so rarely do we get those to screen.
That's a totally fair point. I do think the show does a decent job of spotlighting mostly non-white characters, even if it does inevitably circle back to Piper's story in the end.
Most of the black people in jail don't look like Meaghan. There's an upper limit on how empowered Halle Berry makes people feel, though no detriment of her own.
I've heard nothing but good things about the series. I will definitely have to consider it for binging this weekend.
I'm almost all the way over True Blood and am now mostly just watching for the few pretty people I can still stand: Jason, Jessica, Lafayette (even though he's just turned into a Mammy cliché now). I don't expect quality camp like they used to serve up anymore but good heavens, the wigs from the flashback scenes this past episode put me in mind of the worst bad Buffy/Angel flashbacks. Eric Northman looking like straight up Goldilocks? Oh, hell no!
I couldn't even tell you why I'm still watching. Although the incandescent fairy sex last week was pretty funny. I don't know if that was the intention, but it made me laugh.
I was reading some interviews with Jensen and Jared where they talk about how they feel about their characters, where they feel protective of them, where they feel like they're friends of them, parts of them.
Ryan Kwanten seems like a great guy. I wonder how he feels about Jason. GOOD LORD. Although people are pretty much unlikable or boring or both.
I can't believe I thought the guy who set up his death was the shifter on the run with the black mundane. Hello PAYING NO ATTENTION.
Has anyone watched Banshee? It aired on Cinemax earlier this year and was just released on DVD. That show is INSANE! And Job. Job. One of the best characters ever! A kick-ass transgender computer hacker!
I haven't heard of it, Rayne (No premiun channels on my TV.)
Worth a gander, then, eh?
I should warn you, it is excessively violent and there's also a lot of sex. But it's a great mix of action and intrigue.
Definitely check out the pilot!
