I'm not sure. I think it's partly because the show moves at such a slow pace--people have often said this about Mad Men, but I think the glamour/clothes/smoking/drinking of the period draw people in.
Also, with most of the focus on Patrick, Dom and Agustin (but moreso Dom) are just starting to make an impression.
I wish I had an answer. I got rid of HBO a few months back and only have Cinemax for Banshee.
ReplyDeleteI think it's because it is another show that really doesn't show the realness of us.

And to be fair, GIRLS is a low rated show as well (not as low as Looking, but not as popular as say, True Blood).
ReplyDeleteI think people need to give it some time... What show grabs you in the first 3 episodes?
ReplyDeleteThey should have released it netflix style with all episodes available simultaneously.
BTW, HBO's True Detective with Mconaughey and Harrelson is REALLY good.
