Not only do I give this show a 10 but I want room for 11. I know that's douchey but I can't help it. They took a show that at it's heart has no redeeming characteristics as the entire premise is about adultery and addiction among, child rape, etc. and gave us not only a venue for Natascha McElhone (who has the distinction of being on my desert island 10 - another story) but then they had the unmitigated gall and audacity to add another of my desert island 10, Heather phucking Graham. How does one how manage to have two of my babes.

OK, enough of the pestilent fawning. David is a good actor and all the cast from Evan to Pam to Stephen have such amazing writing and completely balls-on parts. I really wanted to hate this show. It has everything I want to hate from Hollywood bullshit: gratuitous sex, drugs, violence but something grabbed me (besides Natascha in my dreams) and I hung in there.

I'm so glad I did. This show developed a heart and soul. And, it's not afraid to take that H&S out for a walk down a pi$$-filled alley full of dooky and broken glass. How could such art ever exist on network TV. Ooh, sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Every season I think it's over and it's just now hitting it's stride. How am I gonna live without it? Please don't make me. Please, just don't.

D Out. By the way. phuck sticks, spelling out omfg in all caps is not shouting although I wouldn't mind...
