I couldn't take this seriously when I saw "NBC". I mean... how bound to fail can you make it? Give it to HBO, give it to Showtime, give it to AMC, just NOT NBC, ABC, or FOX... damn!
Not only does it mean watered down content, it means the wrong audience, floppy production values, and high cancellation odds. It's a shame, because the casting is brilliant, but the content is bound to disappoint due to the constraints of a station.
I really hope I'm just absolutely proven wrong, but I just can't see this going any other way.
