Best show
EVER created and shown. Let us hope there are enough Hooples to boost ratings and bring it back as a show. HBO needs such a masterpiece and a western is quite welcomed.
Only one movie? Should be a mini-series to tie up all the loose ends HBO left when they stupidly cancelled it to begin with. One of the greatest series ever made.
Can’t happen soon enough. Looking forward to an update on all our old favorites, good & bad.
