    If you have most of the showtime channels you'll be ok. I saw it was coming on almost every hour on at least one of their channels.

    It was replayed at 10 and will likely be on 17 times this week. It was ok. I'll probably keep watching just because there isn't much good in the way of original programming right now.

    I saw this last night and thought it was really good. It's rare for me to watch one episode of a new show and get hooked on it wanting more. I like Liev in this role as the "fixer of things".

    I thought it was about his dad getting out of jail and trying to take over his turf and a war between father and son breaks out.

    It still blows my mind that Liev is the narrator on many of HBO's sport shows. I just dont see that voice coming out of his head. But apparently it is his voice.

    The first episode was one of the better pilots I have seen in a long while. There are so many places this show can go. I also really like the Hollywood fixer angle too.

    Well it's official. I am hooked after two episodes.

    This is such a well developed story for only being two episodes in.

    The Hollywood fixer angle helps each episode stand on its own but the family story will be what drives the story and keep people watching.

    Bravo Showtime. Bravo.

    Southie Justified set in SoCal with "the actor Jon Voight".

    Quality so far, I'll keep watching.

    Last episode was pretty entertaining. This show has potential down the road. The part where Voight hits the library to check out booti was hilarious.

    A lot of quality for only being 3 episodes into a series.

    I only caught the first episode, watched it On Demand last night. This is the first time I can remember being hooked on the very first episode. I was so focused I didn't move for an hour. Big fan so far.

    After the first couple of episodes, I was worried this show was going to become more of a focus on violence and not the actual business behind what Donovan did. This past episodes is actually starting to show the depth of the characters and has the chance to be a really great TV show. I am excited to see where this goes.

    I'm really liking the show, but I thought the rapper characters were cartoonish. Just an off note in an otherwise good show.
