I don't know if anyone is watching this excellent crime drama on HBO but it's well worth a look. Last night, episode 2 was one of the best pieces of television drama I may have ever watched. The acting in the series is first rate. Where to start? John Turturro as the ambulance chasing lawyer with bad eczema who finds himself in "the right place at the right time" to land the biggest case of his life. Is he right for the job? For his client? Riz Ahmed as the suspect who couldn't possibly have more evidence against him. He made every wrong move imaginable. But did he really do it? All the actors are fantastic but my favorite may just be Bill Camp as Detective Box. He makes you believe it--from the little tricks he uses to trip up Naz, to his own self doubts to selling it as an easy case to the D.A. who asks him, "How can I lose this?" And the question is really how CAN I lose this? What are they missing?

This episode was written by Richard Price and no one does New York or cops better than Price.

This is outstanding television.

Turturro is one of the most under rated actors out there...........he's is SO good at his craft.

I hope this show gets to Netflix so I can check it out.

He is. The bowling alley scene in the Big L belongs in some kind of hall of fame.

Gripping, every scene. Just watched episode 7 , excited for 8 but the ride will be over. Some pretty depressing shit on so many levels, that's the only thing bad I could say about it. Must watch TV.
