Episodes are on Sunday nights with replays throughout the week. They played the first two episodes this week. Giamatti has been excellent for awhile…been a fan of his ever since he played Kenny Pig Vomit in “Howard Stern’s Private Parts” :)

Didn’t see “The Illusionist” but enjoyed “The Prestige” (only felt like seeing one magician film that year). Of course, Christian Bale’s one of the few actors I’ll buy a ticket to see regardless of the film because he always does solid work (particularly in “The Machinist” and “American Psycho”).

Wilkinson? I must see this; Giamatti has been on fire lately (I noticed such when he was doing most of the excellent acting in The Illusionist; Norton was good but the movie just couldn’t beat out The Prestige). I will try and not download any eps after the one I missed, seeing as I have access to HBO.

Excellent portrayals by all of the leads…particularly Giamatti, Linney and Wilkinson.

The author is the same one who wrote 1776 and Truman if anyone read either of those two, or one of his few other books.
