Probably won't watch this, but at least it's a better lead out for Breaking Bad than Small Town Security was last summer.

Im kind of upset that they moved Hell on Wheels to saturdays to make room for Low Winter Sun. HOW is definately going to get cancelled because of the schedule

I do not hate this series the way most do, but it is frustrating. I dig the desolate, hard-edged, on-location Detroit atmosphere, even if it is almost exploitative of America's greatest dying city, and the leads deliver riveting performances, but it can be deadly slow at times, and elements of the storyline, particularly the sudsy devotion of Strong's character to an opaquely conceived Eastern European prostitute, fall flat.

I s'pose it is not a big deal either way because it is a surefire low-ratings goner, right?

It's almost become a joke among "Breaking Bad" fans because the network is SO INSISTENT that people watch it right after (they air constant promos for it and then after the show is over instead of showing a promo for the next episode they show a promo for this series first), and then they pulled that bullshit for the first two episodes where they made you watch 25 minutes of this before seeing a promo for next week's "BB."

But I think it's a goner regardless because ratings are terrible and it isn't very well-liked critically either.

Watched an episode and found this show awful. Just a gloomy mess, and it looks even worse immediately following Breaking Bad. Nice try, AMC.
