@blondegrlz: Oh yeah, Lucius..., I miss him. Am still in mourning for Rome, the show that had it all: political intrigue, sex, violence, sex, costumes, sex, history, sex, high drama, sex, incest, sex, betrayal, sex... Oh yea, did I mention the sex?

How are you all forgetting Flight Of the Conchords? A very good HBO show, and coming back for season 2 very soon.
Have to put a plug in for the NZ guys.

MMMMM, Gabriel Byrne. I don't care how old he gets. He'll always be hot, and hell, I'm not getting any younger either.

Time to go watch The Usual Suspects again...

I think this show is going to fail for me in the new ep every night format. I'm kind of a tv addict but even I can't keep up with that and the thought of DVRing 5 half hours eps and watching them back to back makes me feel a little ill.

Gabriel Byrne is so hot. I remember watching Little Women and being unable to decide who was hotter...him or Christian Bale. Then I realized...why choose? :)

I also love the Man in the Iron Mask. Total guilty pleasure. Hot men and swordfighting. Sigh. I'm gonna have to bust out my VHS of it tonight. Obvs I need to upgrade to DVD :)

@kgirl77: Oh my God YES. Jeremy Irons is, and forever shall be, King of Hotness. All he has to do is start talking and I react in inappropriate ways. His voice is pure sex.

He's just part of my "Hot Older Lanky British Men" obsession, which also extends to Bill Nighy and David Bowie (of course), among others. Mmmmm.

Gabriel Byrne...ahhhh. I was having a bad day but now I have seen his beautiful mug. Much happier now, thanks, although I think I will have to avoid watching this.

Instead of watching this, methinks I will watch my DVD of "The Usual Suspects," so I can get my Gabriel fix.

Hooplehead — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 13:50:38 EST

The thing is, most therapy is deadly boring and repetitive. Hence, not compelling TV. The thing that shows like Huff consistently got wrong was trying to sensationalize every.little.thing. Not every patient is going to be a psycho stalker who stabs your wife and rips her clothes off to accuse you of rape.

And for my money, I can't imagine a therapy-based show being done better than it was in the Sopranos. Unless his patients are scary, sociopathic mobsters, I'm going to pass.

I quit HBO after 2 seasons of Entourage. Too many seasons of too many shows doing the same thing over and over. (Nothing has come close to Six Feet Under). But this...Gabriel Byrne...yummy. He and Jeremy Irons rock my world, my "more mature man" world. Ok, maybe it's my older old man category. but still....

I am ever-wary of televised depictions of therapy, which are usually outlandish, insulting, and have little to do with the work of actual psychoanalysts/psychiatrists/psychologists. This sounds intriguing and risky, though; I like it. The intelligent viewer's version of that Fox lie detector show!
