First episode debuted on HBO the other day. I loved it. Is anyone else watching this?

Saw it when it premiered Sunday, thought it was entertaining for the most part. Will's little soliloquy in the first ten minutes or so was easily the highlight of the pilot for me. The Deepwater Horizon stuff in the second-half was probably the strongest part of the pilot.

The only thing that really annoyed me was Emily Mortimer's character (Mackenzie or whatever her name is).

I thought the pilot was great (just saw it a little while ago), but the show wasn't advertised very well beforehand. HBO wouldn't stop showing those commercials about that fucking hipster show "Girls", but I didn't see any ads for this, so I didn't even know it existed until days after it already premiered.

Wow, I had never heard of this before. It looks really interesting and I think I'll check it out sometime this week.
