True Detective is pretty great, I have been pirating the shit out of that one. No really a fan of McConaughey, but he is knocking it out of the park. This goes without saying, but Woody Harrelson is also excellent.

Girls still sucks.

No need to wait for the DVD, there are plenty of sites to choose from that have streams of content within minutes of them being aired.

HBO understands it. But HBO will make more money with their current system rather with what you want.

But you could do this:

Probably when it comes out on DVD.

Silicon Valley is a strip mall-laden hellhole, and the highlighting of its hellholishness is a big part of what made Office Space so funny. This show looks similarly inclined.

I know Paul probably is anti-pirating, but couldn't he still make that a poll option? And apparently loads of HBO subscribers share their HBO To Go login info (does that still work?).

True Detective rocks, although I'm getting nervous I'll be let down by the ending. But a certain 6-minute scene a few episodes ago was one of the best TV moments in the past year.

Girls has been really disappointing this season. Last night's episode almost seemed like an episode of Smash.

Especially after the recent comment from HBO that it doesn't mind the pirating - in specific reference to Game of Thrones, but I'm cheerfully extrapolating.

What number 3 linked to. Just did it, saved $5/mo on my internet bill, and changed my life.

FYI, you don't have to pay for the giant digital cable package to get HBO. I pay for only the local channels and go in for HBO.

Over 50% of the bill you pay to the cable company goes directly into the pockets of News Corp.

Why not just ask a friend for their HBO Go login info? HBO doesn't really care...

i'd rather watch this than more rape and murder and rape/murder shows. like true detective - which looks great, but its more rape & murder. it's why I like veep, and yes, girls. and why downton abbey pissed me off so royally this season.

you should check out mike judges interview with alex jones [on youtube]. I agree with u that Judge is the best ever but he basically agrees across the board w/ his good buddy Jones who is arguably the most right-wing dude in america today. I just dont see how your adoration of Judge is in anyway consistent with pretty much everything I've seen you [or anyone else at the stranger] write. [the stance on Snowden would be an exception]

@5 Agreed. Bittorrent, Paul! Then buy the DVDs later on.

Paul you surely must work with someone who has an HBOGO account

This is about as timely and socially relevant as the Wolf of Wall Street. Does it take seven years to get from concept to production still? So long that Hollywood, as always, is writing history, not prophecy.

So how will this stack up to the amazon prime original series Betas?

Yes how about:

"I'm a competent internet denizen and I will make this show appear before me if and when I choose."

But a certain 6-minute scene a few episodes ago was one of the best TV moments in the past year.

Absolutely agree. I haven't enjoyed a show - or been on the edge of my seat - so much since some of the more high-tension episodes of Breaking Bad.

As to this, I'm on board the minute I see Martin Starr, especially since he's in a role he's so great at: condescending, self-important nerd.

"Television works best when it's immediate, when it's part of a conversation. HBO apparently doesn't understand that."

This is Mudede-level stupid.

Oh good! Another show about men, most of whom are white. I am super intrigued to understand more about the complexity and nuance of the American Male Experience.

I worked in the tech industry in Silicon Valley back in the 1980's and I have no desire to relive that experience in any way. I can't imagine the place (or the people) have gotten any better or more interesting since then.
