Anyone watching this show on Logo? I saw the premiere last week by chance and I'm totally hooked. I haven't seen much about it, which I find surprising. The episodes are available online for viewing.
edited to change the title of the thread so people know what it's about.

I thought it was about you and Danmag as well, Stockard.
But, as a second, this series was really good. I didn't think the present day scenes in NY worked as well as the 1990s scenes in Reading so it will be interesting to read what the OT board think.

I heard about this several months ago and ordered the DVD from amazon.co.uk - lots of fun!
For a great read and more info on Doonan's family and childhood, check out the book that was the basic source material - it's titled NASTY, and you can get it from the NY library.

I can't bring myself to watch it because the young actor who plays the lead character looks EXACTLY like I did when I was that age!! It's actually kind of freaky! What bothers me is, I don't look ANYTHING like the present day character! In fact, I should have been cast as the older guy, but, they clearly wanted an uber good-looking guy...damn typing!!

"In fact, I should have been cast as the older guy, but, they clearly wanted an uber good-looking guy."
The present day lead character is played by Sam Barnett who was Posner in the OLC, OBC and film of The History Boys. The fact that he's accepted a relatively small role makes me wonder if they'll switch emphasis at some point from the past to the present.
The character's window dressing is rubbish though - would any well-to-do store in New York seriously tolerate it?

Very cool about the kid playing Kyle. He is a fantastic dancer.
Scripps, I guess I take the window dressing like the rest of the show - with a grain of salt and then some.
