JfC seemed kind of goofy. it had elements of magical realism, but was generally too mundane for those elements to mean anything. from what i remember, a lot of it was a domestic drama with annoying and unsympathetic characters.

also, in terms of failed HBO prestige projects, Treme must be one of their biggest flops. they poured a lot of money into that thing, and nobody watched.

Bloodline was the last post-house of cards show I checked out just because it was a new Netflix show. Stopped doing that after that one.

It was weird how no one really talked about it though. Like the complete opposite of Sopranos. It was a pretty good show too.

i remember it being talked about a lot when it was on. after it ended, it kinda disappeared tho.

a stripper who sucked my dick in the vip room at club risque in philly was an extra on Vinyl (i went back and watched her episode after). she actually met mick jagger's son on set and he fucked her. i was bummed that show only had one season. i liked it.

Vinyl is their biggest bust ever.

John from Cincinnati and Treme (which I liked) are probably on the podium.

Their overall track record is pretty amazing over like nearly 30 years of doing this.

Boardwalk Empire was a great premise and had some great acting but the plot went nowhere.

Dragon Show 2 is a sequel to a series that ran out of gas even before the OG concluded
