McKay may be crazy as a shithouse rat IRL, but he's really good at capturing and portraying narrative and mood.

This gun B gud.

That looks like a straight up ripoff of Pearlman’s ‘Showtime’ book. Which was, BTW, amazing.

So yeah, I’ll be watching this. But if you’ve read showtime, I’m betting there’s nothing new to see here.

It's so damn good and its one episode in.

My only problem is that Jerry West is wild mischaracterized. I get that it is fictionalized drama based off of a lot of truths, but you can't just take a character and turn him into a raging alcoholic madman when he wasn't even close to that during any period of this life.

Otherwise, very enjoyable first episode.

One episode in and this is pretty good. Only pet peeve is I absolutely hate when shows have characters talking to the camera/viewer. I just don't care for that style. Hopefully its something short lived early on to set the story in motion. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable episode.

Watched the first episode. It was decent enough to keep me watching.

Wonder if West is mad about his charactization?

Great stuff. John C Reilly is a perfect Dr. Buss

This is my favorite right now. Great show.

This is an excellent show.

Adam McCay's directorial style is right up my alley.

Also -- whoever is doing the casting for this show is DESTROYING it. They have to find ridiculously tall people who are excellent at acting while also casting extremely well known people like West, Auerbach, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and so on.

This show is pure joy. I love when I find television like this that just perfectly hits the spot and reminds me how lucky we are to exist in an era where content is so hypercompetitive.

(Last show that made me this happy was Queen's Gambit.)

LeBron ruined basketball

On the contrary, LeBron is basketball.

But I am enjoying this show so far and do agree they've done a good job with casting.

Watched one episode...nice to plaster the screen with "white" then "black"....when referring to the Bird/Johnson draft.

Another series ruined by woke equity commie propaganda...they just cant help themselves.

Riley was good...but not watching anymore of it...that and they totally rip off Scorsese...in a half-assed attempt.

I watch this shit to escape politics...not to be reminded of it every ****ing chance they can. I dont need my entertainment trying to manipulate me..
