I've been wanting to watch this, but I just saw a stinker of a review for it. Don't care, I'm always 50/50 on that critic, so I might still like it.

Watched the first episode. Thought it was pretty good. Not great. But Clive Owen is always solid and it shows potential anyway.

They have episode 1 on HBO to promo it, watched it last night. Seemed decent for a first in series episode.

Downloaded episode 1 and fast forwarded through it. Looks a little grim for my taste. I hate hospitals and hospitals in the year 1900 are my idea of a hell on earth.

indeed. I'll stick with it because of Clive Owen.

well, I'll try to. I only have HBO, which was showing the first episode. Now...what to do?

I don't think it was phenomenal, but I thought it was quite good.

world's first epidural?

I like Owen and Soderbergh. I find the grit and realness appealing but after one episode I'm afraid of some "standard" character drama like

, although the racism and sexism I don't mind given the time period.

I've actually been looking forward to this one...I'll give it a few episodes.

the modern electronic score in the episodes is distracting
