@Atiba Applebum thought I'd jump onto this thread instead of the Greyson one to say that along with John from Cinci, my top shows that come to mind are Tokyo Vice, Their flag means death, Spaced, and Utopia Uk off the top of my head.
Damn I remember how hard it used to be to track down Utopia. Such a shame Fincher never adapted it, but apparently his demands, like shooting it chronologically amongst others, were too expensive
I liked all those too, but apart from John, they all concluded well enough. From what I remember John didn’t so it never took hold, but I was def intrigued by it and got into Kem Nunn and Don Winslow to chase that high
Yep, lots was setup for a second season, it's a bummer it never happened. I've heard Milcher talk about it, he was piiiissed. I think it was related to being in a similar timealot to the Sopranos, back when that mattered. Somehow the lack of conclusion didn't bother me too much though, I loved the dialogue and quality of the character interactions, and the surf culture/spirituality, but wasn't that invested in the plot. I agree with what you said in the other thread, I find it surprising too that there'd be that big of a fan base still, but then again, I recognized that butchie instead quote right away, and it made me stoked so who knows.
