I just caught the first five episodes on Hulu and all I can say is Wow! Great script, terrific cast, and great dialogue. It is like a modern day Greek play. I highly recommend it, you can still catch up since only five episodes have aired to date, and it will likely be a one and done mini series.
I was initially interested when I saw it had the guy that played Al Swearengen on Deadwood. But then I heard it wasnt likely to be on for long so I didnt want to get attatched to another series that got canned before it got started (cough, Firefly, cough!).
