Get Shorty - TV Series (EPIX)

[Mr. McDowell]

So I don't know if anyone here in the film room is watching this show, but it's based off the Elmore Leonard book and really stands out as its own thing away from the movies "Get Shorty" and "Be Cool."

It's got Hollywood fukkery and cartel fukkery rolled into the present day and lord knows this shyt is funny as hell. I honestly can't remember the last crime comedy I've seen on television. Chris O'Dowd is rocking this shyt and Ray Romano is much better here than Vinyl (if you ever saw Men of A Certain Age, you know Romano has skills).

Just wanted to see if anyone else has peeped this. It's already been renewed for season 2 by EPIX (owned by MGM now).

Epix is doing a free weekend. Show is fire

I just read a review of S2 on THR and it sounds like this might be a sleeper.

Will try and watch soon and check back in on the thread.

Wish I had Epix to watch this

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

You just made me interested

I fuxed with this show heavy last season and posted about it a couple of times.

Episode 1 of the new season is up on the epix site right now to stream for free.

shyt's funny as hell - not quite as grimly funny as Fargo or Better Call Saul, but it's still pretty dark.

Definitely worth a watch

 

[Mr. McDowell]

Watching it later tonight. Glad it's back along with Mr. Mercedes.

Discovered this show today out of boredom

Might have to look at this. I thought the movie was pretty good.

 

[Mr. McDowell]

Four episodes in to season 2 and the fukkery just don't stop. This just may be my favorite show on television.

 

[Mr. McDowell]

I feel like no one has EPIX. Anyway, this has officially become my favorite show on television. I guess it helps that I work in LA, but damn if this show isn't engaging as all hell. I always hate when an episode finishes.

I don't have EPIX and I couldn't... "find" the entire 1st Season but I really wanna watch this.

I've been banging with this show since it premiered.

Great cast and great writing. They do some nice darkly funny, slow build fukkery
