Apparenlty they'll do new series in following years, but with different characters. So we still potentially have some good times ahead.

Just saw Ep3. Getting into it now. Still not BB, though. :read:

It's not trying to be Breaking Bad. It is its own thing. One story over 8 episodes.

And episode 4 is teh OSSUMZ!

Whodunnit?? They are setting it up as if Rusty did it. But I doubt it was him. Unless he's split personality.

I don't think it is Rusty. Not with three episodes to go. I suspect a red herring.

Did anyone else notice that the scene at the end of four, from when they burst into the black guys' apartment to rob the drugs, right up until Rust throws that biker guy in the back of the Woody Harrellson's car, is one continuous shot going on for about six minutes?!

I didn't until it was pointed out to me :oops:

I didn't exactly notice it, but if it's done really well you're not supposed to. I just noticed that it was incredibly tense and involved.

I really hope not. It would be like that really stupid Now You See Me magician movie. The detective was the bad guy the whole time and he was chasing himself! :panic:
