I don’t care what it’s about, if Brendan Gleeson is starring, I’ll watch it.

Wait, so this is just a pilot? When I saw the word greenlit I thought it was a new series :P. I’m not complaining, though, as I can think of more interesting shows that HBO could greenlight.

Yep, just a pilot for now! The one positive thing I’m taking from this is that Gleeson is now in the HBO family…which possibly makes him even more likely to play Wyman Manderly?

That is a possibility. However I always pictured Ian McNiece in the role, because Vladamir Harkonnen as Wyman Manderly would be badass :P.

What you mean is the Newsreader as Wyman Manderly! McNeice would be great.

I haven’t seen Rome (yet), so he is Vladamir Harkonnen (for now). :P

How can you “think of more interesting shows” that HBO could bring to series, when all you know about this show is basically what’s above? Besides, with Milch involved, I’m pretty much automatically interested, considering I think Deadwood is the best television show of all-time. Hell, I even enjoyed John From Cincinnati, and I loved the first season of Luck.

Anyway, also a huge fan of Brendan Gleeson, so definitely excited to see this one get a series order (which is pretty much guaranteed, I’d wager). I also think HBO would benefit from having another strong drama in their line-up that’s set in the real world and during the modern day (since we’re losing Treme soon), and this would certainly fit the bill.

fixed this. You’re right.. greenlit is the wrong word for a pilot :)

In Cian’s defense though.. Deadline used the phrase “greenlit to pilot” which is an odd way to say it. haha
