I'm watching "Banshee" and "Walking Dead."

Is it, like, a really hard slap?

Just asking. It's so different from anything on network tv now..... some heavy hitters in the acting department also. Peter Sarsgaard, Zachary Quinto, Uma Thurman, Thandie Newton, Brian Cox, Melissa George.

They are human, imperfect. It is amazing to see that after only one episode.

limited series can work. The opening show was quite good with many plotlines among the characters to work with.
